Townhouses are considered by many Manhattanites to be “beachfront property.” Townhouses are rare and offer a unique experience. They offer privacy and control of one's environment, but are there downsides? At the beginning of the last decade, the market for houses was booming, but by 2015 they had peaked, and deflation of their value began...why? Are they back? Houses in Manhattan only make up a small portion of the housing stock; conversely, in Brooklyn they are plentiful. What makes these markets different? How are the houses themselves different? No two seem alike. What's the difference between a townhouse, a brownstone, and a mansion? The taxes from one house to another seems arbitrary, Why? We will discuss these topics and many more. 

Season 2: Episode 2:  Matt Leone, Chief Marketing Officer gets honest about branding. We ask the person responsible for building a "hip" Halstead brand, and now for reinventing the 150-year old Brown Harris Stevens brand, how does he build a 21st Century brand in an era where...Every Agent Thinks They Are Building a Personal BrandIf every agent is supposed to be shooting videos, publishing on Instagram, and creatively writing a real-estate blog, where does the agent's corporate brand fit into all of that? Building a brand that makes sense of 2000+ individual agents, each with their own personality, is hard work. What does it take to build a brand representing thousands of very different agents across very different markets in 4 states? How can you be all things to all people? How do we know when the brand is successful versus individual agent success? What did you learn from creating the Halstead brand that applies (and does not apply) when considering the Brown Harris Stevens brand? How does a mostly New York City brand evolve to include high-end suburbs of Manhattan like the Hamptons, Miami, Montclair and Westport? Our second guest is Chris Halstead, newly appointed in Connecticut as Executive Sales Director. We want to ask him many of these same questions from the perspective of someone charged with growing the suburban business. Following an initial career track in on the account management side for a leading global advertising agency, Chris transitioned to real estate in 2009, opting to carry the torch and continue to build upon the family legacy. Since that turning point, he has catapulted himself out of the gate and into the swift-paced NYC market. His star rose quickly and his professional acumen has already garnered him a seat at the table reserved for NYC's “Top 5% Real Estate Producers.”  Now, responsible for the success of over 250 agents in Connecticut, he must  leverage what he's learned to make every one of those agents more successful. Chris, we want to know how does a successful New York agent make the transition to Connecticut? What is the biggest challenge your agents face? How are successful Connecticut agents adapting to a changing market in the post-covid era?Just a few of the topics we'd like to explore:- Let's explore corporate branding versus the personal branding of agents.- How do you establish consistent brand messaging across five states and then reinforce brand standards across 55 offices and over 2,300 agents?- Critical mass. How important is it to be a big firm with a global presence?- How do we measure the effectiveness of our real-estate branding?- Talk about the importance of brand partnerships, such as with the New York Yankees & Audi- Brown Harris Stevens was established in 1873. Why is that important when some of our newest competitors were only invented yesterday?Binge watch the whole season on Youtube.  Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/399yevL

Bess Freedman, CEO of Brown Harris Stevens with Matt Leone, Chief Marketing Officer of Brown Harris Stevens on The Importance of Branding and the Evolving Business of Real EstateThe real estate business has gone through some massive changes in the last few years and most of those changes start in New York. We have some new brands emerging while some of the industry's oldest and most established brands have only gotten stronger. How does two of the top branding experts in the industry think about these changes? We have been wanting to have this conversation for a year, ever since Brown Harris Stevens and Halstead decided to merge, a decision that came shortly after those firms reinvented its brand with award-winning new looks.Just a few of the topics we'd like to explore:- How are the markets BHS operates in performing right now - Effective marketing strategies over the last year- How do you establish consistent brand messaging across five states and then reinforce brand standards across 55 offices and over 2,300 agents?- Critical mass. How important is it to be a big firm with a global presence?- The messaging steps of merging two established brands into one- Brown Harris Stevens was established in 1873. Why is that important when some of our newest competitors were only invented yesterday?Bess Freedman Bess oversees Brown Harris Stevens' 55 offices and more than 2,300 agents across New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Florida.

Welcome to the first episode of How I Made That, a show about the people in and around the game industry, and the things they make. My first guest is Matt Leone, features editor of the pop culture site Polygon. In January 2017, Matt published a story called Final Fantasy 7: An oral history, and it kinda felt like the game industry stood still — at least for a day, as everyone stopped to read this thing. Over the course of two years, Matt interviewed 30-or-more people with a hand in the making of this historic video game. The online version of the story featured multiple mini-documentaries, dozens of original photographs, required a few different trips from San Francisco to Japan, and clocked in somewhere around 30,000-plus words. It's a massive, meticulous story about the creation, release, and aftermath of one of the most important and beloved video games of all time. I wanted to talk to Matt about the creation of this piece, and what it was like spending three years writing one story. We ended up talking about a lot more, though, such as how, according to him, it didn't actually take three years to write, the ups and downs of 1UP.com, and how he got his start writing about video games through birthday cards.

In each episode of Quality Control, a Polygon editor talks to a critic after they review a new game, movie or piece of gear and allows them to add a little bit of extra context and insight. Why did they feel the way they did? What do they wish they had been able to discuss in more depth in their review? Also: Did they play it wrong? In this episode, guest host Charlie Hall talks with Matt Leone, Michael McWhertor, Russ Frushtick and Simone de Rochefort about Polygon's Games of the Year. http://www.polygon.com/2017/1/2/14129312/the-last-guardian-games-of-the-year-2016 http://www.polygon.com/2017/1/2/14147110/titanfall-2-games-of-the-year-2016 http://www.polygon.com/2017/1/3/14129368/stardew-valley-games-of-the-year-2016 http://www.polygon.com/2017/1/3/14107538/dishonored-2-games-of-the-year Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's Dammit, we start off tackling such topics as Netflix on 3DS, Call of Duty Elite and XP, EA purchasing Popcap, strategy games in regards to XCOM, television depictions of video games, and the heady issue of proper crediting (focused on LA Noire). Games-wise, we chat a bit about older Zelda titles, Deus Ex Human Revolution, LA Noire, and what Matt Leone would change about Bayonetta. We then answer reader queries about our feelings on QTEs, the supposed resurgence of 2D games, "what's the deal with Japan," and the Xbox Live Summer of Arcade lineup. Also, Bob Mackey repeatedly pushes his Marxist agenda onto both the podcast crew and the games industry as a whole (when he's not discussing "the week of hedgehogs").

The Games, Dammit foursome are reunited now that Matt Leone and Scooter are back from Las Vegas. Topics for the week include follow-through from the Duke Nukem Titty City discussion, the Dead Island trailer that everyone else talks about, the Smithsonian's game exhibit (and how Frank and Scooter ended up being on the advisory board for a different museum), the fame of Felicia Day, Double Fine's Once Upon A Monster, and the non-development of Mirror's Edge 2. Then we tackle questions about the review process, whether we want to truly see Mass Effect's Tali unmasked, and what sci-fi books would make good adventure games. Also, we briefly break an embargo, but rather than delete the conversation altogether, we edited it to feature dinosaurs in its place. Enjoy until next week!

We welcome back Matt Leone and get him to deliver some final details on his experience with the Sony NGP (and how Japanese KFCs have a "Krusher" beverage). After that, we talk a bit about Namco's announcements -- ranging from the new Dark Souls and Armored Core titles to the role of the Power Rangers and whether "Unbounded" is a word. Afterwards, we deliver some thoughts on whether we should attend "Duke Nukem's Titty City" next week. Other topics include the new zombie MMO Class3/Class4 from Undead Labs and Microsoft, the rise of Hiphopgamer, a passionate (and lyrical) defense of Gamefan, the price of downloadable versions of retail games, and why Call of Duty isn't like Meet The Fokkers. Because of so many events and things, the show is a bit shorter, and we still haven't figured out what's going on next week due to the DICE Summit, but until we get our act together, keep listening!

After that, we talk a bit about Namco's announcements -- ranging from the new Dark Souls and Armored Core titles to the role of the Power Rangers and whether "Unbounded" is a word. Afterwards, we deliver some thoughts on whether we should attend "Duke Nukem's Titty City" next week. Other topics include the new zombie MMO Class3/Class4 from Undead Labs and Microsoft, the rise of Hiphopgamer, a passionate (and lyrical) defense of Gamefan, the price of downloadable versions of retail games, and why Call of Duty isn't like Meet The Fokkers.

PSP2...NGP...whatever you want to call it, Sony's new handheld has the gaming world in a tizzy, and we've got just the thing to satisfy your next-generation portable cravings: two hours of hardcore, hands-on impressions fresh from Sony's PlayStation Meeting 2011 in Tokyo. Matt Leone of 1UP, Phil Kollar from Game Informer, and podcast phenom Shane "El Shaddai" Bettenhausen join the 8-4 crew for a heated rundown of the games, the hardware, predictions for the future, and much, much more.

For this week, since Matt Leone is out in Japan, we invite Reviews Editor Justin Haywald to be his stand-in. Despite the one guy who saw and played with the Sony NGP not being present, we still manage to talk some thirty-odd minutes about Sony's new portable, and how it's a miracle that no one else had done a rear-facing touchpad before. Besides the NGP, other topics include: comic books we recommend, racial diversity in videogames, our memories of the Atari Lynx, more storytelling in games, the trouble with doors, and violence in games. Oh, and we finally declare the end of the Elevator Action joke, so don't leave any more messages on that topic. If you wanted one hour and forty minutes of lovable nonsense, this is the episode for you!

Frank Cifaldi's absence doesn't affect our ability to talk about games, dammit! With a quick substitution of Justin Haywald, we blaze though a somewhat games-packed, with talk about Journey, Uncharted 3, Tomb Raider, Catherine, Final Fantasy XIV, Demon's Souls, and Ni No Kuni (Another World -- which Justin and Jeremy go absolutely nuts over). We tackle questions about the disparity between preview and review coverage, our opinion on videogame music concerts, foreign boxarts, and our favorite JRPGs. All this, plus lots of lovable nonsense such as how much we hate the movie Eat Pray Love or what kind of concerts Matt Leone would attend.

Welcome to the podcast formerly known as In This Thread/4 Guys 1UP/1UP Yours, and now currently being called either "Burger Time" or "USS 1UP Flagship Podcast." For this pilot episode of an all-new podcast, we have Thierry "Scooter" Nguyen on host/showrunning duties along with a ragtag band of fellows such as Frank Cifaldi, Matt Leone, and Jeremy Parish. If there's one way to summarize this episode, it'd be, "lovable nonsense interspersed with some game commentary." Sure, we lay down the basic ideas and format for this podcast moving forward, and we do talk about games like L.A. Noire, Fallout: New Vegas, Solatorobo, Final Fantasy Tactics, and numerous announcements such as new titles from EA and a new Super Monkey Ball. But then we frequently get sidetracked by things such as poetry from the past, the brief loss and rebirth of red M and Ms, our feelings about Gamefan, our advice for covering arcade expos, and just for you, an aural unboxing of some upcoming hardware. All this, plus a plea for reader input and a possible name for next week's episode.

Games, dammit! That's the mantra this week as we talk almost too many titles to list. We go two segments deep with Mass Effect 2 (one spoiler free) and find out if Matt Leone or David Ellis would make a better digital parent. Then we follow that up with exploitation central via No More Heroes and Bayonetta. Finally we round out the show with tales of Splinter Cell Conviction Co-op and Red Dead Redemption.

In our first daily E3 2009 special Matt Leone and Thierry Nguyen join David and Garnett to cover the major press conferences that launched E3 week. They get right into Microsoft noting highlights like Alan Wake and Splinter Cell Conviction as well as discussing the motion sensing control interface code named Project Natal. From EA there's no doubt that the announcement of APB's new home stole the show and despite an appearance by James Cameron Ubisoft's briefing was most notable for Assassin's Creed 2 only being shown as a trailer.
