I wrote a series of six books on some of the classics of videogame design, and now I'm turning the best lessons of those books into videos. My work tends to be a little more data-driven and has a slightly more academic tone than most gaming channels, but I'll be leaving most of the really dry stuff in the background. Just remember that if you're interested in the nitty-gritty details behind any of my conclusions, you can always find a link to the original books or articles just below the video.
