I saw the Second Wind announcement on YT and thought, “Oh shit, this isn’t gonna be good.” And it’s not. That’s damning. Frost is one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, eloquent, and insightful voices in the industry. I find it hard to believe that he’d walk out of what has been, on the surface, a smashing success (and a huge fuck-you to the corporate zombies that have taken over games media) without very good reason. And it’s ironic that the reason appears to be Nick, whose firing prompted the whole team to walk from Escapist in solidarity.
sigh
Shame. I don’t really care about Yahtzee and the channel but I really like the idea of talented people having enough and making their own business.
Frost has been the reason why I’ve watched second wind and the listened to windbreakers podcast. I hope this action gets second wind to get their act together and make the changes necessary rather than the team being fractured again and moving elsewhere. But ultimately they should do what’s best for them so i wouldn’t be annoyed if frost and some others had to go make a third wind somewhere else.
third wind somewhere else.
Is that a fart joke?
Good to see Calandra getting blasted publicly, the man is a humongous piece of shit so I hope yahtzee follows suit and I can go back to watching his stuff too.
Gonna sub to frost meanwhile.
Never heard of this dude before, but I’m getting some serious second-hand-catharsis for the public naming-and-shaming Frost gave him on his way out.
I’ve left a couple jobs angry, but always bite my tongue.
It’s soothes my bitter heart to see someone burn the bridge and also take a shit on the ashes.
He’s a culture war brained team sports guy who has his own doxing server and has sent actually organized harassment campaigns against the families of people he is beefing with online.
That guy shouldn’t manage a Target, let alone have a platform.
What the fuck? How did I never heard of this let alone his name?!
He’s objectively not that important of a person.
He’s the EIC of a tiny journalistic outlet that basically lives off of one or two of its content creators’ clout (one of whom was Frost), and a terminally online asshole on his own time.
Good for Frost for getting rid of that albatross, basically; Calandra is about as useful as a sawblade made of dicks, his survival in the public sphere is entirely predicted on people wanting to work for him, and any one person deciding not to is a step in the right direction.
As useful as a saw blade made of dicks
lmao
Oh shit, Frost was my favorite new thing about 2nd Wind. I hope he lands well, I want to keep listening to that sultry voice!
What really?
I just watched cold take from 3 days ago. That’s a shame
He retains the “Cold Take” name and property- so here’s hoping he continues it, whether that’s under some new media company or even just as a solo content creator.
Yeah I just searched him up on YouTube and gave him a sub.
It concerns me though what second wind is going through though.
I only watch cold take, fully ramblomatic, and design delve. I will watch them anywhere though.

Link to his channel? I would love to continue to watch cold take…
Edit: I think this is it
Yeah I also would like a link. I searched Frost but the results were a completely different gaming channel.
Thank you!
