Today, Grim and I interview ControlledPairs, one of the most well spoken and tactically minded content creators in the industry. Through games like Onward, Door Kickers 2, Zero Hour, Ground Branch, and Arma 3, Pairs has recently grown to be one of the biggest tactical creators around. But it was a long road to get here! Find out about his 7 year journey to success and the future of VR tactical training in this episode! Thanks to Pairs for coming on and I hope we can have you back real soon!

Meheraj7, the founder and lead (lone) developer of tactical shooter Zero Hour, sat down with me to talk about M7productions, what it's like to be the only game developer in the country of Bangladesh, and what's coming for the Operation Meghna update and beyond! This was a really interesting conversation and there were some HUGE first-ever announcements put out during the interview, so make sure to listen until the end! Thanks Meheraj7 for coming on the podcast. I really enjoyed it and I hope we can talk again soon!

During the interview we talk about which games get things like NVGs right and which ones don't and also how suppression in video games stacks up against the real thing. Lastly we chat about his YouTube and Twitch career, including why he loves to play Army online as well as real life. Super interesting conversation with this true American hero that I'm sure you're going to love!
