Gaming & Review Videos
Gaming is a recurring production format in the HIMR archive, not merely an occasional subject of conversation. The examples below span Elden Ring, Diablo 4, Helldivers 2 and Path of Exile 2: build guides, a weapon-focused test and a comparative review. Their titles establish how the recordings were presented; sampled raw frames add limited visual context. This is a selected sequence, not a complete catalogue or a count of all gaming uploads.
For making games rather than reviewing or playing them, see the separate game-development videos. The technology-review article covers hardware demonstrations rather than game verdicts.
This page concerns the videos themselves. Channel names and platform history remain on Channel Bans & Platforms, while Work & Income covers attributed earnings and work claims. Game balance, prices and promotional offers below are historical source content, not current advice or endorsements.
Review titles across two release periods
Section titled “Review titles across two release periods”Archive metadata preserves a short Elden Ring title sequence: a February 26, 2022 record labelled Elden Ring is a MASSIVE disappointment, a March 2 record labelled I WAS SO WRONG about Elden Ring, and a March 15 record labelled Why I HATE Elden Ring (after playing for 200 hours). This documents changing title framing, not a complete or settled account of Daniel’s opinions. The titles do not verify a refund attempt, hours played, the game’s quality, or a numeric rating.
The September 4, 2025 archive labels also include four distinct Hollow Knight: Silksong records: DO NOT BUY Hollow Knight: Silksong, why i HATE Hollow Knight: Silksong - VERY disappointing, Hollow Knight: Silksong is INSANE On Nintendo Switch 2 | Performance Review, and Why i regret buying Hollow Knight: Silksong. They show that several contrasting title framings appeared under the same archive filename date; they do not establish that the recordings were published that day, that the game received a particular score, or that the titles accurately summarize their contents.
Builds and equipment demonstrations
Section titled “Builds and equipment demonstrations”Elden Ring: samurai build
Section titled “Elden Ring: samurai build”The April 13, 2022 archive-labelled Elden Ring — SAMURAI KATANA Build contains a samurai-styled character at 00:05 and an Ashes of War equipment menu at 03:00. These frames support the recording’s build-guide presentation; they do not establish the effectiveness of the setup or who was operating the game.
The unreviewed transcript’s opening at 00:00.112–00:16.382 presents a proposed samurai build and playstyle. This is a lead to the video’s stated purpose, not a verified quotation or a finding that its recommendations work.
Diablo 4: seasonal levelling guide
Section titled “Diablo 4: seasonal levelling guide”The July 24, 2023 archive-labelled sorcerer-levelling video combines a combat image at 00:05 with skill-tree screens at 01:00 and 03:00, including visible Flickering Spark and Unstable Currents panels. This is a different recording from the Elden Ring guide, not a renamed copy of it.
At 00:00.112–00:47.990, the machine transcript presents the build as a way of levelling a new seasonal character and experimenting with Malignant Hearts. The wiki does not adopt the title’s claims about speed or superiority.
Helldivers 2: weapon-focused test
Section titled “Helldivers 2: weapon-focused test”The March 6, 2024 archive-labelled The Breaker Incendiary is presented as a weapon test. Raw frames at 00:05, 01:00 and 03:00 show third-person combat imagery and mission-interface screens. Those samples do not verify the title’s dramatic damage claim or prove a controlled comparison.
The 00:00.016–00:37.951 machine lead compares the weapon with other shotguns and discusses its fire effect. That distinguishes its proposed equipment-review focus from a full-game review; the spoken comparison remains unverified.
Comparative criticism
Section titled “Comparative criticism”The February 11, 2025 archive-labelled Why Path of Exile 2 Falls Short as an ARPG Compared to Diablo 4 uses explicit comparative criticism in its title. Raw frames at 01:00 and 03:00 show gameplay and an inventory panel. The title is the recording’s argument, not the wiki’s verdict on either game.
At 00:10.800–00:57.882, the machine transcript introduces disappointment after playing the game and contrasts that experience with initial expectations. Neither the wording nor the claimed playing history has been verified; it is an attributed review argument, not an objective assessment.
Promotional inserts
Section titled “Promotional inserts”The samurai-build frame at 01:00 visibly contains an AOEAH.COM promotional card with an HIMR coupon label. The Path of Exile comparison frame at 00:05 contains another AOEAH card, this time with an Expert coupon label. This records promotional material within two distinct videos, not proof of payment, contract terms, endorsement compliance, or continuity of a sponsorship between those dates.
