While shooting the last episode of Trailer Jones, I accidentally forgot to start recording the video, and we didn't notice until after the first trailer had been scored: the Firestorm reveal for Battlefield V. Rather than recycle the conversation we'd already had, I chose to score Vampire the Masquerade for the actual episode instead. We don't h...

This episode is up a little later than I planned. I've been focused on stuff I missed when working on the anniversary show, new updates to the studio, and (I admit) lots of Division 2. We shot this at the tail end of March, a very busy month for good trailers, and lots of exciting stuff has even happened since then. Borderlands 3. Joker. A new S...

One of these achievements was "Get through the first level of Tropical Freeze without collecting a ...
Hey Allies! I'm really sorry but there will not be a Syndrome this week. I'm still terribly sick and can hardly speak. I was going to try and come into the studio today to shoot one, but I don't feel well enough. I have an idea already for next week's episode so please be excited. Love and Respect!

With tactical combat encounters, lots of room to specialize your equipment, and the tense dark zones, The Division 2 improves on the original in nearly every way.

Happy April, allies! No fool's jokes in this episode, I promise. I don't have time for that nonsense. This month will bring EZA a lot of quality improvements to the studio, but it's starting off with almost every singe ally either sick or recovering from something nasty we caught at our anniversary event. We've never experienced anything like it...
