MARCH 31, 2023
Existing as they do at the intersection of "brevity is the soul of wit" and "a picture is worth a thousand words," social media posts and memes can be great for drawing easily graspable parallels between complex subjects and situations, with the capability to get across insightful comparisons in humorous shorthand. And as evidenced by that lead, editorials like this are perfect for spelling out jokes at cumbersome length, articulating those complex parallels and draining them of all humor.

Epic’s ‘biggest ever bet’ is a Web3 game creativity tool
Game Daily
MARCH 23, 2023
Tim Sweeney’s stage presence isn’t likely to attract the attention of the Oscars or Grammys live show organizers, but in yesterday’s State of Unreal presentation at Game Developer Conference, he fairly electrified his audience. The Epic Games boss lacks the flash and manufactured charisma of many tech execs. Even in high profile, widely distributed live presentations, he dresses like a person who just woke up and really needs to go get a cup of coffee.

Want to make a great game trailer? 3 is the magic number
PreMortem.Games
MARCH 3, 2023
Top image: Dead Cells by Motion Twin. Why? Great game and great trailer ! How many times do you need to show a hooky idea or game mechanic in a trailer for people to understand it? My general rule is at least twice, but no more than three.
