#46: Any Austin - Enjoying the Hyper-Mundane Aspects of Video Games, Following Your Interests, Finding What People Actually Care About, and More


Listen Later

Austin is, in his own words, 'making the worst video game content on the internet by far'. His YouTube channel, Any Austin, features content that looks into the hyper-mundane aspects of video games, including mapping out how rivers flow in The Legend of Zelda, how the power grid is represented in Grand Theft Auto IV, and what the unemployment rate of Skyrim is. His goal is to change the way people play video games, and to change the landscape of gaming content on YouTube as a whole, by creating content that pushes the boundaries of how entertaining dull content can be. His videos have already garnered hundreds of thousands-- in some cases millions-- of views, which-- as far as he's concerned-- means there's a whole generation of game-players that have grown up playing games in a way that hasn't been adequately represented on YouTube.
