Simply Complex Podcast #2

May 16, 2017

Well, I didn’t have time to talk about this properly, but I was proud to be again a guest at the one and only Marcello Sgambelluri’s Simply Complex Podcast. You can listen to it here.

What did we talk about? Well, for starters there was a lot about BILT asia: I was honoured to be a speaker, along with my BIM Manager of course, and I already wrote up something about it here.

Then, since it was the gaming channel, we also talked about the Logan movie and Mass Effect Andromeda. I’ve been playing that a lot, but I’ll write something up only when I’m finished with it.

We also talked a bit about my BIM book, since it has a “gamified” part. Something about it (in Italian, as the book), is here.

As you might have guessed I’m super busy, though I can’t tell you with what. Yet.

But for pursuit of virtue and of knowledge

I’m sure you’ve read enough analysis of Nolan’s Odyssey to last a lifetime, and you don’t need another European ranting that he changed stuff, so I’m not going to. Instead, I’d like to talk about the movie in itself, as an independent work, granting the
