Episode notes

It feels like the show is what was wanted, what Druckman wanted to create. The shooting is there not because I loved creating game mechanics around shooting and you know, puzzles, environmental puzzles. They're there because that's what gets us to the stuff that I actually enjoy. It does also make me really curious about where the show is going given some of the critiques from critics who can't imagine it as a TV series.

A few weeks ago, game developer Double Fine surprise-dropped a 22-hour documentary about the seven-year creation of Psychnoauts 2. At least that's the premise on paper. In reality, the stunning TV-length doc is a fearless look inside the day-to-day life of a video game studio -- warts and all. The documentarians, employed by Double Fine, have unprecedented access to practically every person and room . Frush and Plante talk about the series, called Double Fine PsychOdyssey, along with The Last of Us TV adaptation. Plus, a delightful new retro gaming book is a perfect gift for video game newcomers.
