Jurassic Hour #26: That’s So Neurotypical
Jan 10
Our 2012 debut was recorded mere moments before MAGFest X started. We weren’t there… yet.
Pete and Pat sat down with guest Dennis Rubinshteyn (an editor at RPGFan) before Pat and Dennis drove down to DC’s Gaylord National Hotel for the convention. In this episode, you’ll bear witness to the various ways we do and do not cope with the stress of the holidays. Pete destroys a pile of laundry while Pat hides from his own flesh and blood. Dennis proudly trudges on with his full time job.
After that, we talk games. Many, many games. I (Pat) am currently in the middle of an ELDER SCROLLS marathon, and I chat that up. We all talk about the magic and mayhem of the holiday sales (Humble Bundle 4 + Steam sales = wallet drain 3000). Many indie games are discussed, including a late 2011 title that we hope did not go below your radar. But if it did, you’re in luck.
TO THE MOON creator Kan Gao of Freebird Games chats with us in the second half of the show, just after we discuss our own experiences with the game. You’ll not want to miss this. Anyone who thinks clever, artful games can’t come out of an old template like RPG MAKER will have to see the error of their ways. This interview might help.
With music from Wild Flag and Kan Gao.
