Cool idea for a series. I feel like all 3 of these people could have had an entire episode (maybe of slightly shorter length; 3-4 minutes instead of 5, say) dedicated to them. Read more
There could be more episodes if we can get the budget. Flying around the world interviewing gamers ain’t cheap! But I agree that it’s cool to see and hear these stories. Read more
This is great!

Not a bad idea, but the second episode is slated to be about Moment 37. Read more
What I find interesting is the awful Cut piece Tracy quotes also has a guy being honest and telling her he likes her and that apparently makes him a pussy and less attractive.

I, too, have this job because of Tommy. More broadly, I have my faith in writing, in editing, in journalism as a whole as something still worth doing in 2015 because of Tommy. He’s the best, and smartest, and sharpest, and angriest writer I know. I’m heartbroken that I’ll no longer get to work alongside him, but… Read more
