Today, on the podcast, I'm joined by Jordan Criss. In many ways, we caught up after not talking for a couple of weeks. As always, it's a lot of fun to dive into everything we're thinking about, interested in, or just going on in life.

We start this conversation by discussing video games and the difference between video game storytelling and storytelling in film. Then, we cover the bases of some of our favorite story-driven games, like Mass Effect.

I also bring up that I am currently working on a playthrough of The Last of Us, Part Two, which I'm actually streaming on YouTube. So, if you go to the Feeding Curiosity page, I think there are four episodes at the time of this recording.

We get into other ideas about storytelling and technology. We talked about Corridor Digital and a VFX YouTube channel. I've been exploring their content and understanding how we use software and technology to create lifelike effects that aren't there. I also talk of another computer-driven software. A channel called Two-Minute Papers used the video game GTA and AI image processing to create a lifelike version of the game. So many cool things are happening within the creative realms of creating more realistic simulations.

In another area, we also discuss electronic vehicles and the future. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Jordan and Chris. As always, there will be show notes with links to everything I just mentioned here and timestamps for you to find those sections and what we thought about them so you can explore them yourself.
