For those who doesn’t know, Darren is the audio director for Supergiant Games, the studio behind games like Bastion and Transistor. I haven’t played Transistor yet, but Bastion has one of…
So, today, I watched this video at the Business Insider Facebook page, and it made me think a lot. But, before I start talking about this, let’s watch it. It’s super short (1:35), and I assure you it’s worth it. Ok, I know some of you may be thinking “that’s a bunch of corporate bullshit, a…
