Off The Script (Episode #6: Entertainment Software Association & E3)

House caught fire! Not really, but man what a doozy it's been trying to put this together!

Episode #6: The Entertainment Software Association and E3

Somehow remaining topical with the cancellation of 2023 E3, we discover the origin story of the video game industry coming together in a landmark moment to face an onslaught of regulations. With Doug Lowenstein, Michael D. Gallagher, and Stanley Pierre-Louis taking the reins, we see a tale of legal battles, electronic techno music, and terrific industry positions dot the timeline as we observe almost 30 decadent years of a marvel and often confusing organization.

I talk about the mental (and musical) energy I put into this episode, run through the games that were troublemakers to my life, and explain my odd fascination with the core memory tied to Frank Sinatra's My Way!

Off The Script (Episode #4: 38 Studios)

I discuss the mentality behind trying to hold back a biased attitude to people I don't like in reports as well as how I intend to keep myself humble. Who wants to play some Among Us? Meltdown about birthday gifts free of charge!
