Talking about STOOPID adventure games with Lightfoot Bros

Talking about STOOPID adventure games with Lightfoot Bros

Some games are just stupid. Oftentimes that is part of the charm. That was the purpose. Sam and Max could be considered a purposely stupid (and awesome BTW) game. But sometimes games are unintentionally stupid. We are discussing both of those and we do it with The Lightfoot Brothers developers. They are making a really neat looking game called Sleepytime Village. We discuss that as well. Strap and because we are about to get STOOPID.
