Maverick Enlists with SOF Studios for H-Hour: World’s Elite

top_art_hhour work

For some reason, we stopped talking about new clients for a while there. I don’t really know why. [Ed.: Maybe because some jerk hacked our site and crashed it every 4 days until we finally figured it out?] I mean, crowing about clients is S.O.P. for PR Agencies. Some even put out press releases to announce new clients. We don’t do that because a PR agency announcing PR agency stuff seems like some kind of perverted closed circle of publicity human centipededness. We don’t like that thought. At all.

BUT! We’re pretty stoked to be starting work with SOF Studios, in partnership with LVLUP Marketing, on their upcoming tactical military shooter H-Hour: World’s Elite. Read more

Why we still use Left4Dead2 on Streams

And that really sums it up – even after all this time, each match is different, each match is fun, and each match is funny in its own way.

So take a look at the clips and if you’re feeling saucy and into insider industry commentary among other things, hit the channel up and follow.
