Although it’s mostly academic now, I still find the whole disastrous launch of the Xbone morbidly fascinating. This is a great video on the subject that popped into my feed.

YouTube documentarians really need to start studying the craft of constructing a succinct argument and presenting it within a reasonable run time.

i find him very calming and could listen to him talk for ten times the time.

the video doesnt even come to a “necessary” or “new” conclusion, i just like his straight forward coverage with insightful asides.

his visuals are also unnecessary in my opinion. i think of it more as a podcast on a topic i’m interested in.

i’m just saying don’t worry about that length.

One of my biggest issues when going through uni was that I was able to make my points in like 500-1000 words, rather than the 2000+ they wanted for essays. Even with the SEGA book now, I’m editing it and thinking “should I have more detail?”

The problem is I think a lot of people get lost in the trees and can’t see the forest. Obviously you need to cover all salient points, but it reaches a point where it just becomes noise and doesn’t really add anything to the explanation/ discussion.

Bonus: the information is presented in under two hours!

I wonder if this is coming back when streaming services continue to go up in price and down in service. I miss going to one.
