Since the dawn of the internet it’s all been about words. Words here, words there, 50 quadrillion petabytes of words, everywhere.

Some may say that video is the way of the future and that the writing is on the wall for words. Some may even say that this is a completely ridiculous postulation and words will be with us to the gravestone.

At Atomic, we’re sitting on the fence with this conundrum. The foundation of our site is certainly words. Good ones too. There’s even a few we’ve included in this email as a Friday treat.

But also video! We’re ramping up the moving pictures part of the site now, and the latest adventure in that escapade is the video of the extremely enjoyable Rise of Legends event a couple of weeks ago. We’ve also battled USB missile launchers and robot dinosaurs recently too.

Check em out down there, right under these words.

Video!
