Most people who play Skyerium Are not present to study Its hydrophrology. But there is an Austin. He is also interested How The result 3NPCS arrive homeFor, for, for,. How does electricity travel Through Grand Stolen Auto 5Los Santos, and How many people are employed I Super Mario SanishineDelphino Plaza.
Any Austin makes videos in which the meganfiving glass is about things that otherwise neglect our favorite sports. His most famous videos ask questions that no one else thought of asking and presenting unexpected answers that you appreciate the efforts of the game developers.
This week on Polygon, we are looking for sports that feel like a holiday for your brain in a package in which we are calling Itikaf Saturday.
These questions come to him because he has trained himself to find all the places video games don’t want to see you. Places where no struggle will send you, where the world is still standing. They call them “Unreasonable and strange places“And they are all over for those ready to see.
For the week of Itikaf, our special problem is dedicated to coming to the comfortable places in sports, we asked an Austin to be attracted to the unpredictable and strange places in sports, and how they could be found. He has the answers to these questions, as well as the secret of the loving sports as you are a kid again.
POLIGON: What is the definition of an incredible or strange place in a game for you?
Any Aston: I think it has a good possibility that it does not exist, and that is a unprofessional and strange place where you have just decided that this is, and then it becomes one. This is like conspiracy theory in the back of my head. I am not sure if you can completely offer a great standard on it, it is important. It is almost like an unprofessional and strange place where you see in a remarkable and strange way. Now, this is not true at all. Certainly there are places that are not, but I think the only standard is that it should not be a place in which a lot is going on.
So if you think of a Zelda game, the unprecedented and strange place will be usually space Between Spaces, but not always, because there are places in these spaces that are not between places that are unimportant and strange if you see them correctly. This is a fun experience: If you play Super Mario 64 And you pass through this main room, you enter the main palace, and you walk in it. If you come out of the other way and rotate the camera and watch the same room from the other angle, the change of this angle immediately. That is why it gives it unimaginable and strange, you can say.
Because it’s not like the author, or at least you were not arranged to walk like this.
Yes, so this is a part of why I think it’s a matter of a certain extent. If you just look at a particular place in a different way, you will see things about what you did not see earlier, which I guess is that more mind -making practice than specific quality spaces. But in general, you are looking for places that travel less.
Another really good (for example) places you are always shown in a particular way, and then you see them in different ways. So really a good one – and maybe I’ll do the video at some point – after the boss Beatle Chambers beat the boss. Or here’s a good thing: Temple in Zelda’s game after you finish. I was just going through shrines just yesterday The tears of the kingdom That I had already completed. And just, his energy shift, It was a place for a particular purpose that I was shown in a particular way, but now I am looking at it. Now I am watching it in a postpocyptic-a micro-post-apocalptic type method. This makes things unable and strange.
Now, they are not necessarily comfortable. Not necessarily you go on vacation The tears of the kingdom The shrine after being empty. But this is a really strange thing, and it is a fun thing to see a place in an unannounced manner.
How do you find these undeniable and strange places?
Like a turfs pig, you will have to send them to the field and just start digging them, and finally the pig knows what the turf is. Well, I guess a turfel is a very clear item, so it would be clear to anyone. But that’s the same thing. You have to go now, and you know when you see it.
You have to play the video game before you can find them. This is a problem I have gone. It would not be easy for me to say that I should be given a secure file Alden colorBecause I’ve never played this game. It will not be easy for me to take it and then find these places immediately. You have to know what is between the player and the game before you know that you know where these places are different from it. So it will be a little difficult. And once again, that’s why I say that I think it has a lot of conspiracy or magical tactics in which you have more than you can take with you, what is really in the game.

Is it easy to find these places in new sports?
It’s so funny that you say, because when I worked more than Nintendo’s old goods and old sports, it was a matter of time when people used to go, I like it You never find these places in new sports. You couldn’t get it. And now I have shown that it’s also in all these new games, like each, like, Yes, that’s why I like these new games. In older games you can’t find these places. That’s it, you can really find wherever you. Again, it helps if there is some space for non -linear.
It does not need an open world in any way, but you will need to have some potential. And if you don’t, then it is difficult to find Kozni. And that’s the harmony. And that’s why I think you can take a vacation in Hawaii or you can take a vacation for Akran, Ohio, and if you love your heart, it will probably be so good, so talk.
And the same happens in video games. Why we like video games it comes from inside us and we make a mistake to think that it is all coming from the game in a reasonable standard of quality. You can’t just play anything, but many of it come from us and we make the mistake of thinking that it’s coming from the game.
This is a mixture of both, okay?
It is a constant shift. And even if you put most of yourself in the game, it’s just returned to you. And if you remember this, you will have as much fun now as you did in childhood. But people forget it. People begin to see (a game) as a piece of media and its standards should be determined, and then set it on a shelf among all other pieces of Media Media to get the canon of video games, as the video game is a playground. This is a house. This is just as a piece of art.
Is there a series of sports that have such places permanently?
It would probably be Zelda. (No Nintendo) Sports often offer, so it seems strange as “he has knocked it out of the park” because it keeps something out every eight years. So it’s not so common, but when I play The tears of the kingdom Or The breath of the wildI am constantly wondering how solid they are.
That world feels just like a place. And it’s funny because it feels like a more space than that Cyberpank 2077Compared to, Red Dead Redemption 2 – There are amazing things about these two too. But when I look at this Zelda game, it really feels just like a place, and Cyberpank It feels like a picture or a movie that when you get closer to it, you are of a kind. But this is the same when you see the Skyline of the city (such as) the distant items (such as) CyberpankLike you are, How good is Sky Box. But in Zelda, to me, the whole world, it doesn’t matter where you see it, just feels like a real place. I think the sound design is probably part of it. But yes, whatever Zelda makes a game, he did a really good job. They deserve a lot of credit for this world. I think this is the most impressive world as a whole in a long time. It’s really good.

Are the unprecedented or comfortable places in sports less?
No, I don’t think people feel how much they appreciate them, but as soon as you give it the language, as you call it an unusable and strange place, I think everyone immediately. It is only realized that they always like. This is what they remember about these sports in childhood. This is quick. When you are a kid and you are just playing a game and you are interacting with a game space, this is very quick, your praise for these places. This is a huge part of it that affects the games they do to you (…) because you allow them to establish this relationship. So I think everyone loves such places.
Do you ever enjoy these places instead of using for a video?
One hundred percent. When I played ((Grand Stolen Auto 4) In fact – and the reason I was playing through it was to follow all the power lines in it so that I could make a video about it – I spent a lot of time walking in the game and standing in the streets and actually making the statue or the statue in this place. There is a great way to bring happiness or love back to your video gaming experience.
If you just fuck, you will have more fun. If you just get slow, stop worrying so much about it, go back, look at things, get up around, engage with it, you will find all the happiness you thought you were lost as an adult. It still exists. And it’s really fun because video games are really fun.
