  3. How do you create urgency in a video game without an explicit timer? (16:35)
  4. What should Roblox replace its iconic “oof” noise with? (20:31)
  5. Jaffe Guesses the Golden Age of Konami – Round 4 (28:37)
  6. Tom asks: If the Criterion Collection were to release video games, what might the first five titles be, and what would the ideal special features be for each of them? (30:04)
