Super excited to see this documentary come out! It was a ton of fun to film, with the help of the @secondwindgroup.com crew to fully make this a reality! Check it out when you get the time! > www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpm2...

When Omar & I flew to film this, our plane had to stop at like, 11pm, about 4hr away from where we needed to be. We drove that same night till the sun came up so we would make sure this was filmed as planned. Nothing quite beats late night driving with donuts. Excited to see this!!

Everybody should play Freezeezy Peak at this time of year at least once. It's Twinkly season after all.

New episode of “The Backdrop” up at @secondwindgroup.com, in which we consider Dan Trachtenberg’s approach to “Predator: Badlands.” And ask the question, “What even is a Predator movie, anyway? What is it that makes something a Predator movie?” WATCH: youtu.be/Mja7O9gjZ20?...

Feels like 6 months, let alone two years!

You like video essays about games and entertainment culture? We got em! Here's a selection of our most recent works for you to watch!

The production value on Second Wind video essays by @thejenna.bsky.social is insane. I can't believe it's 2025 and here I am being enthralled by ✨horse armor✨ discourse. You'd think by now it's beating a dead, uh, you know. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EPY...

I spent a lot of time editing this one, so watch it, enjoy it, and have a good time!

New episode of The Backdrop up at @secondwindgroup.com! Where I look at “TRON: Ares” and the literal emptiness of the modern summer blockbuster, where urban landscapes are reduced to big empty LEGO sets to be smashed on film. WATCH: youtu.be/3hB-0-JU2HM?...

I get asked a lot about how to break into the Soulslike genre, so I finally made a video that's a bit of a beginner's guide to starting to play them. Less focused on mechanics, rather the mindset needed to get into them. Hope you find it useful!

How is Symphony of the Night NOT on Steam?!

This week's episode of Design Delve is now available, with @designdelve.bsky.social taking a look at the age-old question of difficulty options. Presented by Once Upon a Galaxy.

With #Peacemaker wrapping this week, it's a good time to look at what makes James Gunn such a distinctive superhero filmmaker. How Gunn puts himself in his work, how "Superman" & "Peacemaker" are about the internet, and what Gunn gets about superheroes as a genre. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DieY...

If you missed it, still watch it!

We finally start coverage of the Link era of #Yugioh! Did it start off with a bang...or was it a dud? youtu.be/E_LGNa8KXRM

Help I think I'm getting addicted to Steelbooks. Aren't my Blu-Rays enough?!

It's amazing that both The Seventh Seal, and Hundreds of Beavers reminds me of Dark Souls. Two films that couldn't be any more different converge to one game experience.
