Bobby and Nic are gone, which means Christian gets to write this description so it’s not so fucking boring. Here’s some SEO stuff: I clicked in clickyland, Emilio discovered the horrid limits of the human condition in Hellblade 2, and I’m still not really sure if Rhianne enjoyed Alba: A Wildlife Adventure. Rhianne is my wife, and I want all you people who enjoyed her appearance on this episode to shout it out on Discord. Don’t even think about failing me!
Jon Higgins is the Communications & Marketing Director for New World Interactive. Fun fact, he actually does all the ‘brrrrrrrrrrrtttttt’ A-10 sound effects for the game (not really). He joins us to talk about what a communications director does, how he started in the role, and the journey that Insurgency took to Insurgency: Sandstorm.
