James Laird starts most meetings with a dad joke or a pun or a groan-worthy limerick.

This session I happened to distract him at the start, but at some point, if you listen in, you may be bludgeoned (to life) by a run of jokes that will make you cry out in great pain.

James is a man of many tastes, and has been making games for the last few decades across Cryptic Studios (Champions Online), Pocket Gems (Wild Beyond, Episode) and most recently at Series Entertainment (various Netflix titles).

We discuss LARPs, AI, the future of work, parenting in an era with distractions within distractions (within distractions) and his journey as a theater fellow & game making denizen.

If you have a dad joke or pun or groan-worthy limerick you think is better than what James supplied here, please record yourself saying that joke and send it directly to James on the social network of your choice.

Thanks James!
