#BROKEN AGE REVIEW IGN PC#
It's a PC I custom-built for gaming, and I use headphones, though I suppose I should wire it into my composing speakers, which is much higher-end.

I actually mainly game in my studio, using a PC. What does your home gaming setup consist of?

What app is making it tough to put down your phone or tablet? I'm sure I look like a crazy person to anyone passing me in traffic. I usually don't listen to music in those moments and then inevitably will start leaving myself voicemails brainstorming about some random thing or another. I tend to get all my "next big thing" ideas when sitting alone in my car at night (often driving home from the studio around 2 a.m.), when traffic is quiet and the streets are almost empty. That typically comes in moments of silence actually. When you're daydreaming about the "next big thing", what are you listening to? But I'm also usually only a sentence or two away from referencing Buffy or Angel or Firefly, so there's that, too. Earnest studies in what really matters in life, especially Ratatouille which I feel is autobiographical for anyone who's ever really deeply loved ANYTHING. Previous films that did for me were Ratatouille and Cast Away. I recently saw Spike Jonze's film Her and would immediately name it among my all-time favorite films.

What two movies or TV shows influenced your creative process the most?Īnything which taps into big eternal questions hits me hard. And there's no question that it deeply impacts my writing, though I'd be hard pressed to tangibly demonstrate how. I consume anything related to Lenny pretty ravenously. There is a massive treasure trove of books he both wrote, or were assembled based on various talks, lectures, etc of his. Well I tend to read primarily non-fiction, so in that sense the material I've lately obsessed over are the many published writings of Leonard Bernstein. What literature has had the biggest impact on your creative process? It's smart, occasionally quite funny, and bizarrely endearing. I played it, instantly loved it, and then (perhaps more importantly) found myself thinking constantly about it in the days and weeks after. I absolutely adore that game, and its score by David Housden. What about a niche title that impressed you with its sheer innovation or fun factor? Grim Fandango is my all-time favorite game. What future release are you most looking forward to?īroken Age, without a doubt. Next up will assuredly be Telltale's second Walking Dead season! Won't be able to wait on that one. Lots of solid moments that I was surprised by. I just recently finally played the new Tomb Raider, which I enjoyed. Well my schedule has been such that I'm sort of trailing behind the major releases. He contends, through a look at both history and the rapidly changing present, that music's best days lie ahead, and that it is not a hindrance to progress that anyone can whip up a half-decent tune in about 5 minutes.
