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.

Alix Harrow’s The Once and Future Witches

I wouldn’t have started this book on my own, and for many reasons. One of them is that in Italy it’s marketed as Young Adult Fiction, and I hate most of that stuff, and the other is its imposing length: 600 pages. I was distracted,
