Oh no, I was hoping this was about a Braid remake, like Time Travel Understander!

I also hoped for some news about the game, maybe an update on the Anniversary Edition announced in 2020 [0].

Yeah, whatever happened there? http://braid-game.com has similar "coming soon, in early 2021" message from 2020.
Oh man, I was really excited to watch that video, since I love Braid, but wtf is that voice? I couldn't bear listening to it.
Then you will HATE the other "Game Helpin' Squad" tutorial videos! ;)

No seriously, the smarmy voice and vocal fry is meant to be annoying -- it's spot-on parody of geeky video game tutorials. And it's well worth pausing and reading the hilarious dialog in the chat logs! But be careful not to accidentally open up your Space Inventory.

I like "World Quester 2" the best, and I recently showed "Pretend Gas Station" to Will Wright:

(Edit: That's a playlist with all of them, from long ago. I really wish they would review some new games now, there are so many ripe for parody!)

Haha, the voice in that is normal, so I enjoyed that a fair bit (especially the part where caps lock opens up your space inventory!).
Wow, you really weren't wrong... why would someone do that?
Oh mate, that is a perfect parody.
