Mike Diver has written a book about retro video games. It's on Amazon and Barnes and Noble for $1695. The soft cover version came out a week ago, but the hardcover is just now coming out. We talked about so much all in all. What is this like 32 hours of entertainment that we condensed into one hour of podcast? We crushed it.
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.
