Out of all the organizations in the Imperium, none is as unique as the Deathwatch. These are the alien hunting Astartes that serve as the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos of the Imperial Inquisition. From the Greenskins to the Tyranids, these specialized Space Marines hunt down the alien with cold and deadly precision.

In this first episode, we will discuss the origins of the Deathwatch, which began centuries after the Horus Hersey with The War Of The Beast and how the Imperium's humiliation culminated into formation of the Deathwatch.

In our final part of this series, we'll discuss and explore the road ahead. We'll discuss mentorships, support of and for Black owned studios, the importance of leadership diversity, the power of players, and the legacy of the Black influence in the gaming industry.

Black representation in video games was initially only background decoration, stereotypes or largely absent. Now, this wasn't intentional, but it spoke to an extremely uncomfortable truth....something the evolution of Black protagonist in games of the past 3 decades has tried very hard to erase, and despite the breakthroughs, and some of the most compelling Black protagonists in gaming, there is still work to be done. Join us as we take you on that journey.

Video are one the most influential storyteling mediums EVER created. They shape how we imagine heroes, villians, worlds, hell, even ourselves.

But, for much of the history of gaming Black voices were rarely part of this conversation

This first episode focuses on the pioneers, pathfinders, and vanguards who paved the way, also we will talk about cultural representation in games, and how it has impacted the games we play, and the world we immerse ourselves in

Titanfall succeeded. Not in a commercial sense, and definitely not in the mainstream sense either. It did rewrite the battlefield.

In this final part, we'll discuss why Titanfall 2 STILL feels modern after all this time, it's mech fantasy done right, the players that never left, and we will ask and answer an important question: Can this franchise EVER return???

If Titanfall was the experiment, then Titanfall 2 was the confession. And to be honest, Titanfall was better than it's predecessor.

But.....

It was one of the best First Person Shooters ever made.....and it failed.

In this episode we'll discuss Titanfall 2 the right game at the worst possible time with a release window that that destroyed a masterpiece. We'll also talk about the Battle Royale shift that Respawn could no longer ignore, which lead to the development and shadow launch of Apex Legends. and we'll talk about Titanfall 3....the game that died in meetings

The Titanfall series has always, at least to me been an enigma in gaming. A shooter that made movement viable again, but it had it's share of setbacks that prevented it from being great. In this episode, we will talk about the inception of Titanfall, which came from the death of Infinity Ward and the birth of Respawn, and we'll talk about those aforementioned setbacks: Narrative multiplayer, the EA and Xbox exclusivity

With the controversial Battlefield 5, the beautiful and brutal Battlefield 1, and the stumble that became Battlefield 2042, DICE and EA went back to the drawing board to create a Battlefield that would be true to the Battlefield formula. The result? Battlefield 6, the premiere First Person Shooter. In this final episode, we will discuss Battlefield 6, the future legacy and culture of the Battlefield franchise, and we'll close with why the franchise matters.

After the succes of Battlefield 3 and 4, the series stood at a crossroads, and DICE asked a question:

What if we went backward.....way backward.

In this episode, we will explore the beautiful brutality of the Great War setting of Battlefield 1, the controversy and potential of Battlefield 5, and the stumbling block of Battlefield 2042, and briefly talk about the development of Battlefield 6

Battlefield Bad Company 1 and 2 proved that franchise could do a bombastic single player experience, all while expanding and enhancing it's multiplayer element. Now, the Dice and EA decided to push the limits.

In this episode we will discuss the bombastic release of the Frostbite 2 Battlefield 3, the broken then brilliant Battlefield 4, and the devisive release of Battlefield Hardline
