Summary

Jason’s off this week, so Kotaku EIC Stephen Totilo steps in to chat with Kirk about the ups and downs of playing too many video games. They talk a lot about open world game design, and Kirk tries and fails to remember the name of the Game Boy game Faceball 2000. They also talk The Witcher 3, Dying Light: The Following, Bedlam, Ziggurat, early access, Street Fighter V, and Offworld Trading Company.
