Directional is BACK, kinda like Oasis and Linkin Park, except it's about videogames and tickets are FREE! What better way to celebrate than with Special Guest @tha_rami. We're talking magic (and the lack thereof) and so much more. Enjoy:

While Directional went through hibernation, the game ‘industry’... shat the bed. In this 1st ep of a new season & format, @thoughtrise & @newjorg look past the doom and gloom and towards a more sustainable future.

Fellow teachers who give classes on Games, consider recommending @DirectionalShow to your students. I did so for mine, and they were eager to tune in. Asking them to read the literature is fine, but we need more good material in our classes, and the podcast is such an example.

[Directional Podcast @DirectionalShow]

Thank you all for tuning in to Directional this year as we took our first baby steps.

We've got a lot of work to do and many fights to fight - both as an art form and an industry.

But first: let's rest. Happy Holidays.

Ep 016 - @LucBernard built the Holocaust Museum inside @FortniteGame & put his own money into a game about one history's darkest chapters. We talk about fighting for peace & humanity in a world ravaged by politics.

@gamedevnet @mrsambarlow But what if Warren Spector didn't in fact create anything?🤔

Directional was born at #Gamescom 2022 - for good and for bad. @thoughtrise and @newjorg first met at gaming's biggest event. Now, a year later, they re-examine their views of the Kölsch chaos.

Had a great time trying my hand at C-Smash VRS, and chatting with @newjorg about bringing a crucial physical experience into esports.

We know. We owe you new episodes but we're only human (or what's left of it). Here's some news from @thoughtrise's front. On the news even.
