Description: Support the channel on patreon!: patreon.com/ArchitectofGames Follow me on Twitter!: twitter.com/Thefearalcarrot Explosive barrels have been a trope for as long as video games have existed, appearing in everything from shooters to strategy games, but why? What possible advantage could there be to all videogames copying eachother? Well, as it turns out, the reason goes much deeper than just red cylinders filled with explosives. Barrels are a symbol, they communicate hidden details and they're not alone! Games use light, shapes, and even the elements to communicate to us constantly - and once The Architect reconstitutes after that last explosion, they'll tell you how.
