  First of all, I want to thank everyone for the outstanding support and patience, both in waiting for this video to release, and then, in waiting for the issues to be resolved. <br> <br>For those that don&apos;t know, After uploading several tests and checking every segment (All of which are STILL showing as advertiser friendly on my end) I uploaded the full thing and after several hours, the video was demonetised, with my appeal, my outreach on twitter and various emails all being ignored. <br> <br>So I&apos;ve had to make some changes and reupload, I spent nearly 6 months working on this video, so I hope you all understand the need for ads to run, regardless, I hope you enjoy and I HOPE there are no more issues, much love.

  Man it would be crazy if to kill a mocking bird became lost media but then was rediscovered on a copy of the darkness years later

  Jenny&apos;s final words being &quot;It&apos;s not your fault&quot; hit me so hard out of nowhere.<br><br>It&apos;s the greatest kindness you can do to someone.

  Considering that the darkness cursed Jackie&apos;s family line with his great grandpa, I&apos;m surprised he let Jenny die cuz he might be cutting off a bloodline he owned

  There was a fun scene in the comic books for the Darkness. Later on Jackie has enough control over the darkness to create human gremlins, and one he keeps around is a copy of one of his coworkers who he killed accidientally. (Though Coworker was actually a religous zealot sleeper agent sent to kill Jackie by the church because they knew he was the host for the Darkness. Long story.)<br><br>The human gremlin served as the metaphorical angel on Jackies shoulder, acting as a manifistation of his concience and morality and the guy cautioning him from doing things too bad. When things are a serious mess Jackie is in a frustrated argument with the Gremlin, and the gremlin is pushing Jackie on what he wants. Jackie snaps at the Gremlin asking what HE wants. The gremlin pauses, says &quot;You know what, I&apos;ll show you,&quot; turns around and steps outside in the sunlight where it bursts into flame and turns to ash. At which point Butcher Joyce who was watching all this exchange just asks &quot;Uh..Jackie, did your concience just commit suicide?&quot;<br><br>The comic series ran into the DC/Marvel issue of too many effing crossovers and plotlines running concurrently and I ended up giving up on it, but it did have some great moments in it before they got to the New 52 style reset in a alternate timeline.

  This made me realize that I really, REALLY miss when games had hidden unlocks that were dev insights/logs, artwork, supplemental media, etc. Bring back the unlockable comics, the videos from the studio, the napkin drawings of the protag/antag, let us find our Insomniac Museums all over again. Miss that stuff something fierce.

  Fun fact: the whole oddly specific &quot;guy gets unholy magical powers from an evil entity that manifest in the form of two snakes growing out of his shoulders that eat one specific human organ, and he uses them to overthrow the evil boss man to become the new evil boss man&quot; concept is from Persian mythology. The myth of Zahak the serpent king, to be specific.

  It&apos;s criminal that the first one isn&apos;t on Steam. And yeah, second one ends in one of the cruelest cliffhangers out there, right next to Alien Isolation or Bulletstorm.

  I just realized if the darkness only shows itself on their 21st birthday. The day Anthony Estacado saw his whole squad die due to mortar fire then tried to kill himself just to be stopped by the darkness all happened on his birthday.
