Killing your babies: GDiP on hold

There’s a phrase people use for editing video called “killing your babies”. It means, there’s a shot you really love, and you want to hold onto it for as long as possible, but it really needs to go to make the edit better. So, you cut it — you kill your baby — and it actually makes the whole scene better overall.

I want to bring it back eventually — that progress bar won’t fill itself — but only when I’m sure it can fit in around LoL, which has some of the most passionate players I’ve ever met, and they deserve my best.
