Second Wind is a video-based entertainment outlet focusing on video games and other forms of popular media. The group received significant media attention upon its formation, having been founded by former video team members of The Escapist media outlet, including editor in chief Nick Calandra and star talent Yahtzee Croshaw.[2] The founding followed Calandra's firing on 6 November 2023 from The Escapist by parent company Gamurs.[3][4][5]
