Googled it and it's in "Tournament Poker for Advanced Players." Very good piece. Yet another case study for the argument that poker is a good source for certain kinds of wisdom, which makes me increasingly convinced I should actually play it.

Aside from Masters of Doom and The Making of Prince of Persia, what are the essential books to read on the video game business? Especially interested to know if anyone has written something good since the rise of casual gaming.

New blog post, this the first of maybe a 3 part series on the company du jour, TikTok. This first piece isn't about the possible ban or divestment or the security or geopolitical issues but about what makes it so unique and fascinating to me. www.e
