Noah Caldwell-Gervais

Noah Caldwell-Gervais, previously known as broadcaststsatic, is a male American YouTuber from the United States who is known for making in depth analytical reviews of video games. He generally does entire series' in one video, if there is multiple, which is one of the reasons why his videos are so long, typically from an hour to even three hours or longer, in addition to how much depth he digs to. Because of the sheer length of his videos, he only uploads once every several months. He created his YouTube channel in 2008, but didn't start making videos until 2012.
==Style==
His analysis are very in-depth and tends to focus on the intended themes of the developers and his experiences with the gameplay. He also likes to compare themes and tone with other Fantasy and/or Sci-fi writers to understand where the game's developers got their inspiration from, or how those old writers influenced the game's themes and tone without the developers being aware of it, most notably how Joseph Campbell (writer of the The Hero with a Thousand Faces) inspired George Lucas and how that inspiration influences almost all Star Wars media even to this day, or how William Gibson's works still influence Cyberpunk media.
==Series==
===A Thorough Look===
A Thorough Look are complete franchise retrospectives that also include DLCs, and they tend to last one to seven hours. His most popular videos are his Neverwinter Nights (three hours), Resident Evil (seven hours) and Baldur's Gate (nearly two hours) retrospectives.
===Single Game reviews/In Close Critique/How Does it Compare to Past Games?===
These videos focus on a single game and its DLCs. The games in question are mostly standalone/sequel-less games, or games that were released way after its A Thorough Look franchise retrospective which are titled How Does [Game] Compare to [Predecessor Game]?. Unlike his A Thorough Look retrospectives, some single game reviews are titled with a statement or a question such as In Defense of Doom 3 while most of them are titled In Close Critique.
===Genre Orphans===
A now-abandoned series that focused on experimental games that failed to launch a franchise or create a new sub-genre of games. The only games covered were the detective thriller L.A Noir and the narrative-driven political Action RPG Alpha Protocol.
===Travelogue in the West===
A series of videos where Noah discusses his experiences travelling the American West with his wife on their old van.
== Trivia ==
* He once worked for the site Polygon as a freelance writer where he wrote the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands review, a game he later did a video review on his channel.
