Episode 70 - Is this the real Frog Fractions 2? No it's Jim Crawford.


Listen Later

Today's guest is Jim Crawford, creator of Frog Fractions 1 and Frog Fractions 2 and co-host of the video games hot dog podcast. We talk about his very early love of programming, why he would tell his young self to just rip people off better, how Frog Fractions was born out of insecurity and the key to funny video games. We also talk about World of Warcraft may have got him fired, working in the early PC demo scene, tracker music, reading Dungeons and Dragons rule books for fun, the ahead of it's time Terminator game by Bethesda, and that time Star Wars made him kick a Gamecube. This is definitely nothing to do with an ARG. "Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me."
