Ladies and just gentlemen. This is GamerTag Radio. All right. First of all, I can't wait for us to talk to you guys about the show. We love it so much. We've been watching it now. We watched the most recent one, I think, was the last two episodes. You're supposed to have watched all of them. We did. Oh, we did. Hit the road. Yeah, but we love you. But, Tim, I was going to ask you, man, I remember the first time you guys announced about the series back, I think it was opening night live, you got super emotional. Yeah. That was a very important moment for you, you know. I know you guys, you guys worked on this for, what, three years or so. So how was that, that moment for you? And now the series is actually coming out in a couple of days. It was pretty great. But the thing that makes me get choked up is I'm so proud of the show. I think it's probably the best thing that Blur's ever done. And I love,

0:55.2

love death and robots. I love all the trailers we do. But this one was maybe commensurate with the

1:01.1

amount of effort it took to make it. But I was really proud of the show. And I'm so excited to put

1:07.8

it out there. So I'm very proud of Dave. And you're talking about how much effort it was.

1:12.9

Never says that unless the camera's rolling.

1:16.8

Well, I'd like to double click on that a little bit.

1:19.9

You said it was quite a bit of effort.

1:21.9

Like what surprised you the most about this process and the challenge it was?

1:26.5

How people just don't immediately see the genius of my vision, and I have to, no.

1:32.6

It's joking, but it is.

1:33.9

Like, to convince anyone to do something different in this town is incredibly difficult.

1:40.8

Like, so if you're like, hey, 15 disparate IPs are going to come together in celebration

1:44.3

of gaming, like, I think the folks want to go, like, well, what is it going to be like?

1:49.7

And like, well, we don't have anything. Imagine like E3 in a love death and robots forum. Like,

1:54.9

there isn't really anything for it. So that part's challenging for sure. Although I will say the first,

1:59.9

I was doing a test with a friend who all had a studio. And I said, so I want to do this show that is about, it's like love death and video games. And he goes, I'll buy it. Nice. Just like that, and I looked at the person I was with who didn't think it was. That friend that clearly has lots of money. I looked at the person I was with who didn't think it was a good idea. And I went, hmm. Yeah, Rihanna, we should mention our favorite episodes. I think so, yeah. So mine's been switching a lot. So now my favorite one, because I just watched it recently, was the last episode, the PlayStation one.

2:34.6

Fulfillment.

2:52.1

Very, very good. I love the message, too, about just, it's all about gaming. It's not about... Games and trap didn't addict you. This is Dave's poet. But it was a very powerful message. I think it was, like, a great way to end the series, I think. So for you? For me, it was Pac-Man. I got to say, I was so intrigued. You are messed up.

2:53.1

A little.

2:53.7

So I was so intrigued.

2:52.6

You are messed up. A little. So I was really intrigued because I was imagining like, okay, what is

2:56.9

a Pac-Man going to look like in this kind of blur animation and with the storytelling behind it? And we've
