Episode 99: Win2K

We brought Arpwire TV showrunner Win2K front and center for "Hot Takes" episode 99! Co-host Roge Corp has been a member of the Arpwire TV team for some time now, so why not collaborate with the mastermind behind the nostalgia-themed channel himself? Known for their meticulously crafted homages to Y2K nostalgia and Frutiger Aero- and Metro-themed graphic design, our two hours' runtime was really only enough to scratch the surface of who Win2K is and what they create out of their love for the turn of the millennium. We got to hear about how much they hate the Malibu Ken album cover, along with how to create art from the heart while also gamifying the algorithm. Lots of video game talk transpired, along with some hot takes about David Wise's "Aquatic Ambience", in addition to a story about a video that Trent created as kind of an homage to "Everywhere at the End of Time", by The Caretaker. We got to hear his thoughts on industry plants, and Win2K told us the many stories behind the members of the Arpwire TV team, what they do, and how they met each other. These are just a small sampling of the highlights of this delightful episode with Win2K, so what do you say you watch or listen to the episode and let us know in the comments what your favorite moment was!   "Hot Takes" is a safe space for all opinions!
