(39:37) Topic #1 (What aspect of games draws you to a specific game the most? Is it the Art direction, lore, characters, mood, animation maybe even just being a game that is outside the box?)

(57:30) Bonus: Bethesda Hate

(01:23:00) Topic #2 Do you think usage of AI in game development should be considered acceptable? Is it dependent on studio size (a single man indie team with limited resources and skill/a multi million dollar studio)? Is it dependent on application(dialogue, art, code generation)?
