Victor Varnado - Tic-Tac-Toe and Designing Arcade Games

New High Score!! It's our best ep yet! We talk to comedian, actor, filmmaker, and video game designer Victor Varnado (Comedy Central, TruTV) about his lifelong obsession with creating video games. His new venture HighScoreGameArcade features an ongoing worldwide Tic-Tac-Toe Championship available to over 100 million people right now! We talk about early game creations, Victor's plans to be a supervillain, and how to pitch a movie tie-in game to a director (by making the costumes historically accurate!). It's a fun one!
