On this episode of Stupid Little Games, Jess chats with Benjamin Jaekle -  narrative and game designer, indie game dev, and culinary hobbyist - about voluptuous pixels, the difficulty of writing jokes for video games, and working on your own game every day, even when life happens...

Then they play a Stupid Little Game about cooking mechanics that Benja is way too good at. 

If you're an industry veteran yearning to hear stories from fellow devs, new to the industry and looking to make your mark, or just someone who loves video games, then this is the show for you!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
