I saw the Second Wind announcement on YT and thought, "Oh shit, this isn't gonna be good." And it's not. That's damning. Frost is one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, eloquent, and insightful voices in the industry. I find it hard to believe that he'd walk out of what has been, on the surface, a smashing success (and a huge fuck-you to the corporate zombies that have taken over games media) without very good reason. And it's ironic that the reason appears to be Nick, whose firing prompted the whole team to walk from Escapist in solidarity.

sigh

Frost has been the reason why I've watched second wind and the listened to windbreakers podcast. I hope this action gets second wind to get their act together and make the changes necessary rather than the team being fractured again and moving elsewhere. But ultimately they should do what's best for them so i wouldn't be annoyed if frost and some others had to go make a third wind somewhere else.

third wind somewhere else.

Is that a fart joke?

[–] bbigras@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

Shame. I don't really care about Yahtzee and the channel but I really like the idea of talented people having enough and making their own business.

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good to see Calandra getting blasted publicly, the man is a humongous piece of shit so I hope yahtzee follows suit and I can go back to watching his stuff too.

Gonna sub to frost meanwhile.

Oh shit, Frost was my favorite new thing about 2nd Wind. I hope he lands well, I want to keep listening to that sultry voice!

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Well that was quick.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What really?

I just watched cold take from 3 days ago. That's a shame

[–] Drathro@dormi.zone 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He retains the "Cold Take" name and property- so here's hoping he continues it, whether that's under some new media company or even just as a solo content creator.

Yeah I just searched him up on YouTube and gave him a sub.

It concerns me though what second wind is going through though.

I only watch cold take, fully ramblomatic, and design delve. I will watch them anywhere though.

Edit...

Link to frosts personal channel

[–] Rekhyt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Link to his channel? I would love to continue to watch cold take...

Edit: I think this is it

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah I also would like a link. I searched Frost but the results were a completely different gaming channel.
