Once again I’ve reunited with Gerry and Wesley to discuss video games. This time we go over the idea of various 80’s properties, such as Die Hard, The Dark Crystal, and Mad Max, and try to reimagine them as video games. We also jump into how recreating a property or series can be used to kickstart original ideas, one that I think helped me discover just what sort of stories I wanted to tell myself.

You can read Gerry’s blog at Geek Bravado and check out his YouTube series Retro Flashback.

You can follow Wesley’s new podcast over on HistoryOfTheGreatWar.com.

Music is from Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
