Austin studied the hydrology of several video games. He applied real-world hydrology to the waterways of the video game ', arguing that the so-called rivers were actually sloughs before refuting his own analysis and argument. He also mapped the rivers in ' (which turn out to be one river which splits up) and analyzed the geographical changes to the map that could have occurred as a result of the water flow. Austin studied the rivers of "" and analysed the impact that its weather would have on a living experience in any of the game's cities. 
Austin's study of video games also led him to analyze the power grids in "Grand Theft Auto IV" and "Grand Theft Auto V". He analyzed the number of nuclear bombs detonated in the map of Fallout 3, finding it to be much lower than the number stated in the game, which he attributed to game designers condensing areas for improved gameplay. 
Austin has also observed the behaviour of non-player characters within games, noting their employment status, daily activities, and general behaviour. He followed NPCs in Fallout 4, observing where they travel and their routines, and noticing their general aimlessness. Austin conducted surveys on all NPCs within various towns in "Skyrim", as well as numerous other games such as, analysing the economic situation of these towns through unemployment, diversification of industries, and property.
Austin has a series on his channel in which he searches for 'odd and unremarkable places' in video games - these are usually places that a player would not normally explore in any great detail. 
Reception.
Dan Schindel of the arts magazine "Hyperallergic" included Austin's video essay on the power grid in Los Santos in a list of video essays for the holiday season. A "Skyrim" modder created a mod to correct an inconsistency in the direction of a river in "Skyrim" in response to Austin's video. Several writers at "PC Gamer" recommended his videos, with Joshua Wolens remarking that Austin probably put more work into analyzing Morrowind than the game designers themselves.
