This week I wrote about Larian's publishing director saying 'marketing is dead'
You can probably guess how that goes.

An 'updating my bio' kind of day.

Unexpectedly, this week's Five things on Friday has the theme of kindness.
And if I've learnt anything from hitting the publish button today, it's this: I have the best readers. The best.

Rian van der MerweThanks to @whatleydude for pointing me to the poem “Kindness” by Naomi Shihab Nye in his latest newsletter (which you simply must subscribe to). A balm for the Sunday evening soul, this one.
“Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.”
Right, that's the newsletter successfully moved over to Buttondown.
If you're a Five things on Friday subscriber, you should've got a new edition today.
If you didn't, please yell! :)
Five things on Friday
Established in 2011, FTOF is a weekly newsletter written by James Whatley, delivered to your inbox on Friday (occasionally). By day, James is an planner in adland. Outside of working hours, he is a Dad, gamer, movie fan, comic book reader, and all round, general person interested in interesting things. Five things on Friday is basically a collection of interesting stuff that James finds/reads/consumes while staring (or not) at the glass in his hand. All mixed up with a healthy dose of thought/commentary/etc (when there's time). Lots of people tell James they like it so maybe you might as well. *Mostly. **Like, 99.9% of the time (but I'll tell you if it's ever not me). ***By 'every Friday', I mean 'sometimes it comes on Saturday or Sunday or not at all'. Always read the small print yeah?
Just me, spreading the good word of FToF.

Possibly the biggest thing we've ever done.
A full projection mapped takeover of London County Hall for the launch of Modern Warfare III.
Went down to see it for the filming last night and just couldn't believe what an incredible job the team had delivered.
WOOF.
Google Photos reminding me it's been 13 years since me and a bunch of gamer/Twitter pals won an Xbox competition to spend the afternoon playing video games in a cinema.
Mental.
