- Video Games
Austin Wintory may have never been a composer if he hadn't been trying to win a challenge issued by his father when he was a child; thankfully, the stars aligned and our world of gaming certainly is better for it! On this episode of Character Select, Julia and Anjali sit down with the self-described Grim Fandango fanboy to chat about conducting his high school orchestra whilst still in school, directing within the unique framework of Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, and the three-line exchange in Grim Fandango that's been burned into his brain for 25 years! ========================
