We ran out of time to record a regular episode this week, but not wanting to leave everyone without that precious content, we dipped into our archives and found this old interview with Tim Fowers that we never uploaded. Tim Fowers is the designer and publisher of Fugitive, Burble Bros., Paperback, and more. Learn more at fowers.net Music: Doggy Goes Mu by Fluidvolt From Album: Clay Memory @fluidvolt

In this brain-bending episode we test our memories and attempt to design a game on the fly. You CAN date a glogo, but the real question is, would you want to?
