Besides being incredibly talented, the McElroy brothers seem like really kind and down-to earth guys. It's wonderful to see all the success they have achieved.
I have a handful of friends who worked the MagiQuest spot in Pigeon Forge while going to college @ UT.

Oh sure, Justin leaves and gets upstaged by a ninja pilot.
I wish you guys would stop encouraging him.

Man, the talk with Justin was good. I can really relate to the "critical brain" problem while playing games. I make games for a living, and I also cannot "just enjoy" a game. I am always looking at its systems, thinking about how they did that specific thing, etc.
Also gee whiz the "must have inherent value" thing. Oof.
Good episode
Re: MagiQuest
I have driving past the location at the Dells countless times and wondered but never bothered to look up what it was.
I may have to go try it with my kids sometime.

Speaking of games that conveyed COLD, anyone remember Cryostasis? Its visual and sound effects were pretty convincing at the time.

I tried playing Skyrim to cool off during a major heatwave. It didn't take.
I wish you guys would stop encouraging him.

A quick thank you to Sean Sands. Picked up Time of Tower on his recommendation and loving it. Crunchy RPG with original combat. More should try. Filling in the gap until PoE 2 launches next week.
