Aquanaut's Holiday | A Game About Doing Nothing

When Aquanaut's Holiday released, no one knew what to make of it – "What do you even do?" the world yelled in unison before collectively forgetting about it. 30 years later, Aquanaut's Holiday continues to perplex as a masterclass of minimalism, that's still surprisingly daring and unique to this very day. 00:00 PROLOGUE: Plunge 10:30 PART 1: Pacific 48:37 PART 2: Point Nemo 1:35:50 PART 3: Poseidon 2:10:20 EPILOGUE: Periscope 2:33:20 POST-VIDEO: Patreon Guest voices: ‪@DavidJBradley‬, ‪@wizawhat‬, ‪@Skyehoppers‬, ‪@hotcyder‬, ‪@Sputnik34‬, ‪@PixelLit‬, ‪@iamerror‬, ‪@TBSkyen‬, ‪@pimscrypt‬, ‪@nichtschwert3307‬, ‪@PixelaDay‬, ‪@KingKlonoa‬, ‪@Chariot_Rider‬ PATREON:   / transparens   TUMBLR:   / transparencyboo   BLUESKY: https://transparency.bsky.social/ MASTODON: https://mastodon.social/@transparencyboo TWITTER:   / transparencyboo   #retrogaming #playstation #art Read Ashes to Ashley! https://frokenkeke.tumblr.com/post/74... BONUS MEME I am going to pat myself on the back for going 2 and a half hours without making a single joke about the Titan submersible implosion. I followed some of the hearings about that failed Titanic expedition while making this video. I just want to let you know that there were many opportunities of us to have made a joke about Oceangate and Stockton Rush's plastic submarine held together by bubblegum. We were even close to buying one of those Logitech controllers that they used onboard as a visual gag. We're classier than that though. Compared to that man-shaped ego taken flesh we have restraint. Stockton Rush is the kind of billionaire who played Bioshock and thought it was a great idea, but if HE did it he would make it cheaper and make the entire city of Rapture out of Boeing's discarded aluminium he found in a dumpster. A man chooses and a slave obeys and all that shit. He really did it. I was also supposed to write something about Subnautica and Iron Lung, maybe Endless Ocean too, but I don't feel like it anymore. Thanks for watching. If you read this please tell us what your favourite fish is in the comments.
