bungie should be able to make a niche genre game, btw! but im not sure a studio that has worked on one title for the last 12 years should be betting the farm on a live service experience.

you can make a pontiac aztec if you own 12 car brands is what i’m saying.

it should be criminal to create a universe as interesting as marathon‘s only to make it the sweatiest niche genre possible.

Tiny Desk Radio: Yo Gabba GabbaLand!, 31 Minutos, Sesame Street Look for Tiny Desk Radio on your local NPR station.

Hey, it's my birthday on Sunday. If your local NPR station carries Tiny Desk Radio, consider it a gift to me if you'd listen (most stations air TDR on the weekend). I wrote this upcoming episode; it features the voice of my 7-year-old daughter. It's cute as hell.
