Welcome to Episode 18 of Load Save Game, a podcast where I talk to people about their personal journey with video games. I am your host Jose Eusebio.
My guest today is my wonderful friend Chris Wu. Chris is an actor and has recurring roles as Noah Yang in The UpShaws on Netflix, Officer Williams in 9-1-1, and very relevant to this podcast, played the role of Aidan Chen in the 2023 remake of Dead Space. Chris gives great insight into his experience working on Dead Space and talks about how much fun he had getting to not only voice his character, but doing the motion capture and getting to literally and figuratively be in the game which was a lifelong dream of his.
We talk about so many great games in today’s episode from the bullet hell shoot em up Gradius, to picking our best girl in Final Fantasy VII (spoiler’s it’s Tifa), to some of our modern favorite indies like Hades, Stardew Valley, and Rimworld. Chris also talks about his sibling’s influence on his gaming growing up, from having a brother who worked at Nintendo and getting early access to Super Mario Bros. 3, to getting his lives stolen by his younger brother while they were playing the side-scrolling NES classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We talk about those stories and so many more great games in the episode.
