Alright, let’s dive into the wonderful chaos that is me trying to retell this little nugget of a story about Dropout. You know, that comedy streaming thingy that used to go by College Humor. And boy, have they struck it big with Game Changer! The show’s this wild ride where comedians just do whatever, every episode’s a surprise. It’s like trying to predict the weather in a hurricane—not happening, folks.
So, I sit down, virtually—you know, Zoom and all that—with Sam Reich, who’s pulling double duty as the boss man and the face of Game Changer. Somewhere in our chat about how they cook up these crazy games, it hits me. Like, wouldn’t it be killer to see Game Changer morph into a video game? And like, spoiler alert, Sam’s kind of on the same page!
“Yeah, for sure,” he says, right there on my screen. Super chill. But wait, he’s talking more about a Dimension 20 game—some D&D thing they have going on. I guess it’s popular?
Sam’s all in on the idea but, lo and behold, here comes reality. Games? They’re money pits, gobbling time like popcorn at a movie. Sam’s like, yeah, we’ll do it but it’s gotta feel like us—meaning, no outsourcing to random companies. Imagine spoon-feeding someone your grandma’s secret recipe, only to find out they swapped the sugar for salt. The horror!
But what about ideas? Oh, they’re cooking up some. Sam mentions they’re already tossing out these mini web games on Game Changer, like they’re dipping toes into the gaming world’s ocean. Testing the waters, y’know? Can they even hang with the game devs out there? Remains to be seen.
Sam’s confidence, though? Through the roof. He’s practically winking at us through the screen, saying a Game Changer game isn’t an if, but a when. Now that’s some boss level optimism.
By the way, in case you’re clicking refresh endlessly, Game Changer season 7 wraps up on Dropout on August 11. Got it? Good.
