Oh yes, I remember you telling me that Gregg. I’m only industrious because I have no choice. I’m not sure if that makes sense unless you’re in my head, but it certainly doesn’t feel like a choice.

HM you’re unbelievably industrious. When I added Joel’s number to my phone I was asked if I wanted to have an icon next to his name. I could have had a smiley face or a pen or something like that but no, I put a factory next to him.

Lest I forget: all those train journeys were fruitful because that is where I fleshed out most of A Theoretical War.

Actually, Maurice, I didn’t travel anywhere by car. I was tempted but it was train all the way. The small segment of driving in the video is in Ed’s car; he drove me to an “unknown countryside location” for the interview.

Cat’s #4 goes, er, farther afield. I’ll leave it at that.

I never knew a thing like the Fast Show existed: British actors, without overly British humour. Even an American like me can absolutely adore it. I now feel compelled to end my stories with “I think I was very, very drunk.”

How much did you drive HM? I have a feeling these other videos will take place in increasingly wacky places…

Also; very good.

Thanks Beam, Gregg. The small segments of Proteus had the sound stripped from them so I’m hoping it’s not that spoilery in the end.

That would have been awesome, Gregg, if I’d got you saying the owl thing during Cats #2. Like Chekhov said, if you put an owl reference in video #2, you’ll have to fire it in video #3. It was owls he was talking about, right?

[...] Finally, our friend Harbour Master over at Electron Dance hosts a fantastic video interview with designer of indie game Proteus, Ed Key. There’s even a neolithic tomb. View it here. [...]

Hurrah! Wonderful.

Can I just say that Proteus looks and sounds more and more beautiful every time I see and hear it. It reminds me of Minecraft only for people who don’t want to craft or, uh, mine(?). I’m glad Ed mentioned Noctis as well because that’s the other game that Proteus reminds me of, despite me never being able to get Noctis working on my current Windows 7 system and failing miserably at grasping the controls on my old XP rig.

I’m also particularly chuffed you managed to get one of my favourite Fast Show sketches in there as well. I used to quip ‘WITH AN OWL!’ quite often but most people didn’t get it so I stopped. I wish I’d said it to you now Joel, just to justify my years of wasting it on the unwashed masses.

It’s only REALLY time to worry when you say, “Sorry, the answer is ‘no one knows what the fuck Cart Life: Torment was about’.”

Thanks Steerpike. On the final video, I am… starting to feel a little tired. Videos #2 to #5 were all filmed within a week of each other. Expect questions like, “So… how did you get into games?”
