Really fun episode, great vibes. I've been hoping to see Thor come on the show for a while. There are tons of people making youtube videos about old games these days, and many of them are really good! But Thor's videos are really uniquely attuned to the insert credit wavelength. I hope you guys can have him back as a guest again soon, and also that the evil chair game becomes a reality.

Enjoyed hearing Vincent Diamante and ThorHighHeels on this episode. Especially, Thor's concept around the chair! So fun that such an idea was born out of tutorials and learning a tool set. I certainly find myself less concerned with whether a video examining a game is good or bad and more interested in why the presenter connected with it or how it is unique. When a game resonates with someone and they can explain why it makes them excited or want to keep engaging with it, there is something infectious about that format. Wasn't especially familiar with Thor's videos, but I am certainly going to look into them now!
