Shannon was a lot of fun to have on the episode! Honestly, Frank's response to LeFish's question was not what I expected in a really great way. Obviously Frank is living with and thinking about preservation in a capacity that few, if any, do, and the suggestions for working small and local make so much sense. For whatever reason, Tim Schafer makes sense as the Christopher Nolan of video games, but I have absolutely no argument to make that case.
