It is customary on the Pushing Play podcast to ask their interview guest about what game they would make if they could*.  I was a guest on this week's show and my answer was a tale of failure: I was trying to create this game called "Pinkslip" ... a name that refers to this very angry office space backstory involving a distrought cubicle worker that goes into a helpless nerdy rage against those whose seemingly worthless powers control him. I'm not sure what that says about my mental health, but that's a slide of it right there.

Anyway, I had this ambitious idea to create free massive multiplayer 2D fighting MMO modelled after Final Fight and borrowing a page from Tim Burton's starved and creepy character styles ... but I can't program to save my life and the guy who was helping me code ended up marrying my other friend's ex-girlfriend and moved away.  Depressed and still fascinated with the gaming industry, I decided to set my eyes on E3 and blogging instead, and here we are. Life does that.

If you'd like to know a little more about the giant nerd that founded Destructoid that rarely comes out of his cave give the show a listen.  *Michael Patcher of not this Morgan is up next week, can't wait to see what he's gonna say!
