Well my friends, another episode in the books! I felt very... meh about this video as I was making it. The script felt weak, I didn't have a ton of good examples, but the research itself is actually pretty interesting and I think it kind of carries this one.

That said, once I was reviewing the finished product, I was pretty happy with what I saw! Definitely not the home run the last video was, but definitely a base hit and a video I can say I'm very proud of. If you like shiny Pokémon, in game collectibles, or just weird psychology in general, this one is for you.

Let me know what you think below and look forward to live commentary for an older episode next Tuesday!

I'm not gonna lie I didn't watch this till just now and I'm mad about it. This was like a perfect dissection of how I like to spend time in games, I'm basically always trying to collect items, go for difficult challenges for achievements/bragging rights, or hit a prestigious rank in a game. Super late but great job on this one Daryl 👏
