Episode 42 – Great Levels, The Best Levels In Gaming

Direct Download

Our first interview of 2017 is with Great Levels in Gaming YouTube producer Max Barnyard.

Like our previous interviewee, Max Barnyard focuses his criticism on specific elements of video games; in this case, the construction and purpose of exemplary level design. But what is a level in a contemporary video game? We discuss that question, along with how he chooses what levels to showcase, his work with Achievement Hunter, and his penchant for puns.
