Hey everyone. We’re finally switching to a new player on the main site, but our youtube page is alive and well.

Thanks for the head’s up. I’m going to see if I can loop another member of video team to help do more thorough notes moving forward.

Quick Correction: Uncharted 4 Beta, not Uncharted 3 Beta. In other news, I still miss Tina, who used to catch stuff like this and send me pictures of cats. :/
