Stay ConnectedA comedy game design podcast by two guys who know nothing about comedy nor game design.
Join Trevor Scott and Ben Slinger as they take prompts from random word generators, movies, game titles and more and turn them into occasionally hilarious but always interesting game designs.
Compete in the Outlaw Games, plan a heist against 99 other thieves, deliver letters between lovers separated by the war against the machines, find your true inner wolf as Little Red Riding Hood, and more this week as Ben and Trevor play Click Pitch!
This week we investigate the team who keeps you safe in your dreams, how toilets get made, patient zero in an alien world, rewriteable media in a world where punchcards were the height of technology and what happened to the first manned mission to Mars.
A supermarket employee finds wizard socks, a tomato in the Starch Wars universe unwittingly starts a new conflict, House M.D. gets some new interns, battle royale on the ocean, story based match 3 in space, and more as Ben and Trevor play some Ramped Up Click Pitch!
Ben and Trevor go on tangents and off the rails while talking about the following game ideas: Aliens in Mooroolbark, following clues to a hidden treasure inside a recently renovated house, supernatural demolition services and a superhero with the ability to see through lids.

Ben and Trevor give some Super Sized Click Pitch a go this week, combining adjectives, nouns and dirty jokes into some game designs, including:
