Ruby is joined by web comic artist, TV writer, narrative director at Squanch Games, and Mr. Boop himself Alec Robbins to talk about the chuckles and challenges that come with writing comedy in video games. Originally, the title of this episode was going to be 'Knock Knock! Who's There? Video Games', but that's just ridiculous. Very silly. This is a serious podcast.
