Video: How a 1911 South Pole Expedition led to the video game Among Us
It’s fascinating where the winding roads of history can lead you once you start heading down one of its paths. In this video, I journey from the video game Among Us becoming massively popular in 2020, and end up at Norwegian and British explorers racing toward the South Pole in 1911.
How a 1911 South Pole Expedition lead to the Video Game Among Us
Among Us is an online multiplayer deduction game from 2018 that became massively popular in 2020.

This is a video essay adaptation of my Why You Should Play Games article.

This is a video adaptation of my How Terry Pratchett’s ‘Going Postal’ Champions The Public Postal Service article.
“Going Postal is possibly almost prophetic, you know. It’s about buying businesses, tearing them down. And I think we should remember where we’ve been and how we’ve got here. Because if you don’t know where you’ve been and how you got here, you don’t know where you’re going.”
