The video examines time travel loops and how the characters in them tend to respond to it, such as developing the idea that nothing ultimately matters because it's all going to reset anyways. He also talks about a short story called "Through the Flash" by author Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, in which a 14-year-old girl becomes AxCrazy and [[spoiler:forces a child to cook and eat part of himself to save his mother's life]], but then decides to stop being a killer one day because [[TheAntiNihilist she ultimately wants her actions to mean something after all]].

* SoBadItsGood: [[invoked]] ''VideoGame/WantedDead:'' Geller thinks that the story makes no sense, the combat is frustrating, and the cutscenes are full of MoodWhiplash and {{Non Sequitur}}s ... which combine to make the game far more memorable than something more polished would have been.

The entire video is an essay as to how very cold spaces are used for horror settings because of how humans fear cold places.most people have never really experienced biting cold, and yet it "does not forgive mistakes" if one attempts to confront it. Geller starts the video by talking about a short horror story called "To Build a Fire", in which the only human character slowly freezes to death.
