5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel: The Terminator Gambit

In which I mess with the fabric of reality.

A third video essay. And this time it's for a vaguely current thing! Huzzah!

5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel is a brain-wrinkling experiment in making a stupid idea into a genius end product. In this video, I try to teach you how it works, analyse its shortcomings, and compare it to about seven different time travel films.

Once again, I hate my voice, and I only realised after completing recording that I'd allowed my microphone to clip in a few too many places. The actual video editing is pretty swish now though.
