Sure! Here’s the re-written article:
Alright, so here’s this wild thing about Dropout. You know, the site that used to be College Humor? It’s like a real internet sensation now, mainly ’cause of this wacky show called Game Changer. It has this dude, Sam Reich, who’s not just the host but also the CEO. Talk about multitasking, right? Anyway, it’s this show where comedians go head-to-head in these off-the-wall games. I couldn’t help but wonder if they’d ever make a video game out of it. Spoiler alert: They might!
So, I had this chat with Reich. Like an actual, sit-down, across-the-screen kind of talk. We got into Game Changer’s ins and outs – how they come up with the games, test ’em, tweak ’em. But, oh man, I had to know if they’d ever thought about gamifying their shows. I asked, and Reich was like, “Yeah, for sure.” Kinda nonchalant, but I could tell he meant it.
He kicked around the idea of a game inspired by either Game Changer itself or Dimension 20, which, if you didn’t know, is their mega-hit D&D series. Reich seemed pretty set on keeping things in-house. He said, and I’m paraphrasing here, that they want whatever they make to really feel like them. None of that outsourcing stuff. It’s not just about making a game; it’s about making a game that’s them – if that makes any sense.
But Reich did mention money, time, all those un-fun practical details. Making games ain’t cheap, and it eats up a lot of hours. I tossed a question his way: was this game idea just daydreaming or a real thing? He was pretty clear they’ve got concepts brewing. They’re inching closer to it, like, for real.
He talked about how they started by putting out these teeny web games on Game Changer. It’s like dipping toes in water to make sure it’s not, I dunno, lava or something. Anyway, Reich was optimistic, like really, about a Game Changer game materializing… someday. He said, “We probably will do one. And it’s just a question of what and when.” No rush, just a casual maybe.
And hey, don’t forget – Game Changer’s season 7 wrap-up is hitting Dropout on August 11. Mark your calendars or whatever.
