I hear you mon. The Shuffle Bois turn to the world of Azeroth (and their own adolescences, before their Twink Death) to discuss the one MMORPG to rule them all, World of Warcraft. They trace Blizzard's rise from a much beloved small private company that went on a historic, untouchable, Michael-Jordan-in-the-90s-style run to a much maligned publicly traded subsidiary of another videogame company. En route, they discuss the mechanics of World of Warcraft, the corporate ownership structures that do and don't lead to good art, and the massive real world impacts of World of Warcraft in the 2000s. If you want to skip the non-2000s stuff, the theme song starts at 9:30. Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠ And on Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠ to interact with the show between episodes.

I put this information together for a presentation at DePaul University in Chicago recently. The audience found it helpful, plus listener Chris Hardin thought it'd make a great episode. So I made some tweaks and recorded it solo as a short episode :)  While it's intended for folks looking to get their first job there are different ideas and strategies that should be helpful if you're already working in the industry. I cover strategies around resumes, applying for jobs, doing due diligence, interviewing strategies, following up afterwards, the importance of your portfolio/website, and other areas. It's not meant to be extensive, but tips and ideas to help in your game development journey. (Plus if you'd like to go deeper my Gain Wisdom Patreon level has monthly private coaching included.)
