i cant believe action button hasnt caught tumblr like Quinton reviews did. tim rogers' autism-like swagger has you going "oh ha ha funny quirky video game" in the first thirty minutes and then "the realest ghost is somewhere between memory and loss, i can never be the person i was but i can love them and remember them for what they were, also i can go on craigslist and get a $1000 steelcase chair for $200." by hour six.

Also I've been watching a lot of YouTube while I play games lately. I finished a 12 hour video about every single season of the American version of Survivor earlier this week, and I just finished a six hour long video about a Japanese video game called Boku no Natsuyasumi:

youtube

And I have to say, this video is a masterpiece.

The cover art in the thumbnail is a fake interpretation of what the art might have looked like if the game was localised to America. The actual game is set in the Japanese countryside over the entire month of August in 1975, where the main character is staying with his aunt and uncle while his parents prepare for the birth of their second child. It never left Japan, and its presentation makes it next to impossible to localise.

I don't want to spoil too much of the video or its premise, but I do want to talk about a couple of anecdotes from the video.

The guy in the video, Tim Rogers, worked at Sony Computer Entertainment in Japan circa 2005-ish. Boku no Natsuyasumi was getting a PSP remaster, and a cool coworker of his urged him to try the game out. His section manager overheard the conversation and the coworker mentioned the game, and the section manager gave Tim an uncomfortable look and told him not to play the game.

The video discusses nostalgia and how it can be successfully transfered across cultural boundaries. It's not your nostalgia, but enough reverence and craft can communicate a foreign yearning for the past even if your personal nostalgic past is very different. Nostalgia is a state of mind that everyone experiences; a Japanese person can enjoy Stand By Me, and by that token, an American (or Australian, in my case) person can enjoy Boku no Natsuyasumi.

The video has a heavy emphasis of sunflowers from beginning to end, stemming from an iconic scene in the game with a field full of sunflowers. Tim's home state of Kansas is mentioned, as is his time living in Tokyo, playing Boku no Natsuyasumi over a weekend while his girlfriend was visiting family.

By the end of the video, the emotion is palpable and it's really fucking hard not to cry.

It's a masterful, dense, soothing and informative six hours. But it's six hours of YouTube gamer video essay content. The runtime is obv. a huge hurdle, but it's genuinely a masterpiece and it goes places that might be a little too real. It's truly outstanding.

#action button #tim rogers #boku no natsuyasumi #steak bentleys 3 and a half hour metal gear solid 4 video is engaging and awesome and informative in a completely different way #it's like watching the fast and the furious 7 in comparison to action button's castaway on the moon #Youtube

Tim Rogers' Action Button review of Boku No Natsuyasumi connected with me in a multitude of ways, and left me with a strong inspiration to create. These two images are the result of that inspiration: a sunflower field populated by a present and past Tim and a reimagining of the album art for Eiichi Ohtaki's "A Long Vacation."

I'll know when Ive met my soulmate if we can sit down and watch a 6 hour and 12 minute long video game review essay about a Japanese video game from the 90s about a child spending a vacation with his extended family in the country side and they're in as big of a sobbing mess that I am right now.

Fuck man.
