New Tribalism, a video playlist

I thought instead of making a music mix, I might instead make a playlist of like videos that all feature what I’ve started calling new tribalism.  It’s vaguely post-apocalyptic.  Sort of like a Hunger Games dance party.  Anyway, these span at least the last four years of things that have caught my eye.  Enjoy!

Very Inspiring (and Validating)

What I love about this image above is what it’s actually depicting:  three game developers working together on a delightful new iOS title, Waking Mars, that their company, Tiger Style Games put out recently.  All without ever actually sharing an office space or any set of company resources.  

The workplace is changing dramatically and the fact that top-notch, critically acclaimed products can be created without ever actually sharing any physical meeting space is proof.  Having worked on several freelance projects with clients in multiple separate states, I know just how well this model works.  And continuing to work remotely with clients at 9 Penn State campuses in all corners of the western half of PA shows me daily just how well it can work.
