Because I’m well-known for my flying woes… it only makes sense that the airline I’m taking to Europe decides to go on strike the day I’m supposed to go to Rome and Athens.

We're gonna make it super easy for people to cover the showcase with media list + a drive with all of the assets we share with individual folders for each title.

In the process of sending out a bunch of confirmation emails for the Second Wind Games Showcase!

We're going to have an incredible variety of games in it.

Going a bit bigger with it than I had originally anticipated, but I think people are going to love the showcase.

The Emptiness of Modern "Eat the Rich" Cinema | The Backdrop YouTube video by Second Wind

This week on The Backdrop at @SecondWindGroup.com, we look at the hollowness of “eat the rich” cinema, from “How to Make a Killing” to “Ready or Not.”

What’s with the trend? And why do so many of these films leave us feeling unfulfilled?

WATCH: youtu.be/zD5bjq5lEBA?...

Script and VO turned in, so all set to go on vacation.

You'll be getting an Unpacked from me this Friday, and a video on an upcoming game everyone's wondering about next Friday, and then no video on the 27th cause that's my birthday.

Since I'll be on vacation starting this week, I already wrote an Unpacked for this Friday on this very subject.

How about we send Brian.

Yup. That's how I described it in my video on it. It feels more like an arena shooter where you come out with legitimate rewards for doing well. I love that in an era of boring progression in most mainstream shooters.

Hope everyone has a good GDC.

I'll be leaving for my first real personal vacation, like ever, to Rome and Athens on Wednesday for the next two weeks.

As a history nerd, I'm very excited.

Sold millions of copies. Still not enough to keep your job.

The people running these major publishers need to get the hell out of here.

The forced hate on this game has been kind of a sight to behold, but whatever, it's routine at this point in online spaces.

This week I'm more focused on how Marathon is a game that does require you spend some time learning how everything works... and that requires patience.
