‘Mathematical masculinity’
Get our own Jonathan Holmes and Action Button Entertainment’s Tim Rogers in a room together and magic will happen. Here the two are at PAX East discussing Videoball, a “real-time strategy shooting sports game” that’s far deeper than its simplistic art would seem to indicate.
“The original idea for this was I wanted to make a game as deep as StarCraft that used only one button and all of my ideas were really bad … This is definitely, absolutely not that,” explains Tim. If you watch only one of Holmes’ PAX interviews, I’d make it this one.
A little something extra for those of you left scratching your head after the interview. Excuse me while I leave this video playing in a separate tab for its absurdly catchy tune.
