I am proud to debut my first real video on my channel, a critique of The Binding of Isaac Rebirth! This has been a massive project that I have been working on for the last year. 
As this is my first YouTube video, likes, subscriptions, and shares are GREATLY appreciated.
Big thanks to my friends Michael and Ethan for proofreading my script, and to my other friends that gave feedback on the video itself.
