A Game-Changing Video Game is Likely on the Horizon

Sure thing, here’s the rewritten version:

So, I stumbled onto this funky site, Dropout, right? Used to be College Humor if you remember that wild ride. Anyway, they’ve got this insane show, Game Changer, with these comedians throwing down quirky games every episode. It’s nuts. I mean, you’re laughing, you’re confused—mostly laughing, but also confused. Ever thought they could make this into a video game? I have. And get this, they might actually do it. Or, well, maybe.

Chatted with Sam Reich, the head honcho over at Dropout, on this random Tuesday. We were Zooming—’cause that’s a thing now—and I popped the question. Video game version, yay or nay? Yeah, he’s totally down. He tossed around ideas like maybe a Game Changer game, or something from their D&D-fest, Dimension 20. Who knows?

“Yeah, we’d love to,” Sam said during our chat—very CEO-like. But here’s the kicker, it’s all about whether they’ve got the… what’s the term… bandwidth? You know, making it their “thing” and not some sellout, farmed-out stuff. They wanna keep it homegrown, personal. “If we’re gonna do it, it needs to feel like us,” he went on. They don’t just want a game out there; they want their game out there. Kind of makes sense if you think about it.

Here’s where it gets tricky, games are pricey. Like, take-your-whole-cash-stash pricey. And yeah, time too. Stuff doesn’t just pop out the oven ready to go, right?

I got all nosy and asked if this is something they’ve really cooked up in their heads or if it was just a dreamy maybe someday thing. Sam’s like, “Nah, we’ve got plans!” They’ve been sneaking in these mini web games in episodes, seeing where it goes. Like dipping a toe in the pool before cannonballing, you know?

Sam seemed pretty jazzed about it all. “I’d say a game will happen at some point,” he mentioned, with this confidence that makes you believe him. It’s coming, sometime… eventually.

Oh, by the way, mark those calendars! Game Changer’s season 7 finale is dropping on August 11. Only on Dropout, because why not?

We’ll see if they pull the trigger on this. No clue when though. Guess it’s just another one of those wait-and-see things.
