  • A smart, smart show about games

How to fight brilliant (and stupid) AI
Q: Why were AI protections a top priority for the Union throughout negotiations?
AI is a central concern across all industries, and for the voice acting community, the digitization of performance made it a pressing issue.
The case of Dunkey vs. Death Stranding
Q: What attracts you to bad games, or do you think it's bad?
Some stuff is bad, but some stuff that people say is bad is actually better than they think it is.
The case of Dunkey vs. Death Stranding
Q: If you ever got trapped in a room with Kojima, do you have a question that you would want him to answer?
I would probably ask him a movie question. What's some good movies, Kojima?
The case of Dunkey vs. Death Stranding
Q: Have you had a chance to play Death Stranding 2?
No, not at all. It looks cool.
The case of Dunkey vs. Death Stranding
Q: Why did you keep playing?
Well, it's Kojima, so you got to play it again, even if it sucks, you still got to play it again, just out of respect.
