Ben, this was really great. I enjoyed PopCap games well enough, but I was never a super fan or anything. Even with that in mind, hearing these stories I got caught up in it and felt strangely nostalgic for something I never really was terribly invested in. By the time the song was playing at the end I was practically weepy. Great, great job.

That's an interesting question, I think a bit. Especially the part where Jeff Green talks about how it can't help but change a company, no matter what.

This is pretty extraordinary, Ben. Really, really enjoyed it. I'm now very curious how, after putting this together, it's changed the lens through which you view the Bethesda acquisition?

Ben Hanson

Hey Shane! Yeah, I saw enough comments about it this time that we've slowed it down and added a transition. We can continue to tweak it as well in the future.

Jesus Christ this was so good! Great job, Hanson. I am not even a Popcap super fan, and I couldn't stop watching. I agree with one of the YouTube comments about the Wall of Heroes being a distraction. I commented in the thread that maybe just moving it down a bit so it doesn't lay over the two people speaking, as well as increasing the time a frame is shown, and/or fading frames instead of the hard cut will make it less obtrusive. At the end of the day I don't mind it, since I know it is important to supporting this indie media. Thanks for making this awesome stuff for us!
