Some Patches Required
Hello everybody, and welcome to Some Patches Required. Every other Thursday, your hosts Aaron and Zak use their backgrounds in game development and analysis to discuss various facets of the ever-turbulent games industry. From interviews with AAA/indie devs to deep dives on timely topics, the duo hopes to entertain and educate you on this wild medium we all love.
Some Patches Required
An Episode of Intros, Lots of Roblox Talk, and an Unnecessary Adherence to Naming Conventions

As one great Greek philosopher famously said: "Sometimes, you've got enough material in the bag to make a beautiful quilt, even if you may see it as too little." Of course, another said, "If you have no material from which to craft your art, why bother?"
Then, as if sent from Olympus itself, another said, "Hey, you're just working on a podcast, and you needed to shuffle your topics around a bit. Stop taking yourself so seriously." So we did.
Humor and artifice aside, this episode is more or less a collage of different topics that have popped up since our last episode (or something close to that). We run the gamut from James Gunn's "The Suicide Squad" to the surprisingly murky depths of Roblox, with a soupçon Kojima tossed in for flavor.
We hope you enjoy.
