Hello friends old and new! Welcome to Stupid Little Games, a podcast where we talk abut all things gaming from the inside out. Each week, I’ll sit down with an insider from various parts of the gaming industry, from indie to AAA. We’ll talk about our current gaming obsessions, tell stories from projects past or present, and then we’ll play a Stupid Little Game that I’ve written especially for each guest, all with a splash of humor and whimsy.

New episode alert!
This week Jess sits down with the amazing Natalie Asport - former Avalanche hard surface and weapons artist and current senior prop artist making badass Mortal Kombat assets at NetherRealm Studios! She's also an adjunct professor at NYU Game Center teaching the next generation of 3D artists.
They chat about predatory puzzle game ads on Instagram, having the discipline to actually hone your craft when you just wanna *play* games, plus the thrill (and stress!) of working on iconic characters.
Then they play a Stupid Little Game that asks the question, "What if Freddie Kruegger was in a movie with Chun Li?"
