Stupid Little Games with Jess Pardue

Hello friends old and new! Welcome to Stupid Little Games, a podcast where we talk abut all things gaming from the inside out. Each week, I’ll sit down with an insider from various parts of the gaming industry, from indie to AAA. We’ll talk about our current gaming obsessions, tell stories from projects past or present, and then we’ll play a Stupid Little Game that I’ve written especially for each guest, all with a splash of humor and whimsy.

    QA is Game Dev - With Andre Coleman!

    Hello friends old and new! Jess is back this week with Andre Coleman - a 10+ year Senior QA Engineer who has worked with EA, Experis, Microsoft, and Avalanche Studios! They discuss turning off "QA brain" when you're playing games for fun, what QA *actually* entails (spoiler alert: it's not just playing games all day), and Andre makes us all hungry talking about New Orleans cuisine.  Then they play a Stupid Little Game called Smarty Gras, all about Mardi Gras trivia. "Throw me something, Mister!" Note: There are some construction sounds that we couldn't 100% remove from the background (NYC will be NYC after all) so just pretend that there's a Tom & Jerry cartoon happening in the background. Special thanks to engineer/wizard Gabe for working so hard to make this episode sound nice. Special thanks to today's sponsors: Phantoms, Ghosts, & Other Heartbreaks - a debut novel by Beth Morton. You can find it on Amazon paperback and kindle. Available now! Outreach Program - the sophomore album by Brooklyn indie rock band Social Robot.

    There's No Such Thing as a Straight Line - With Scott Smalley!

    Repost Alert! Jess was very smart and accidentally erased this episode a few weeks ago. Did we mention she's very smart? So we're reposting so that it can be discovered all over again!

On this week's episode, Jess chats with veteran hard-surface artist Scott Smalley - best known for the Just Cause, Red Dead Redemption, and Midnight Club series! They discuss making cars that don't look "off", why perfect is the enemy of shipped, and the fact that "PBR" is more than just Pabst Blue Ribbon. Then they play the stupidest Stupid Little Game yet, but Scott was a really good sport. _____________________ Stupid Little Games is a podcast all about gaming from the inside out!
