Friday Links!

Happy holidays to everyone! A big links week for those of you stuck at home and unable to travel.

Leading off this week, a kindler, gentler kind of game designer: Shigeru Miyamoto Wants to Create a Kinder World.

This is a terrific long read, and it's a dark story: The Journalist and the Pharma Bro.

This is infinitely gross in so many ways: How SoulCycle lost its soul.

Here's a five-minute video of footage from the new Peter Jackson documentary about The Beatles (releasing early next year): The Beatles get silly in our first look at Peter Jackson's Get Back.

I don't know how I'd never heard of Chuck Feeney, but he's my hero: Chuck Feeney: The billionaire who gave it all away.

From Wally, and this is so utterly, fantastically over the top that it almost works: Bahubali 2 Best Scene.

From C. Lee, and here's a quality Santa: sign language Santa. Here's a fascinating two-part analysis of whether advertising actually works: Does Advertising Actually Work? (Part 1: TV)Does Advertising Actually Work? (Part 2: Digital. Holy cow, the advertising percentage is incredible: The cost of games. Fascinating: A Machine That Made Stockings Helped Kick Off the Industrial Revolution. As an introvert, this is how I always feel at parties: Victorians’ Christmas Parlor Games Will Leave You Burned, Bruised, And Puking. Not that surprising, I guess: Only One Factory in North America Still Makes Washboards, and They Are Flying Off of Shelves. His videos were classics: R.I.P. Henri, le Chat Noir, angst-ridden feline YouTube star for the ages.
