Sure, here it goes:

Wow, so, let me tell ya. This thing called Dropout, which used to be College Humor—yeah, memory lane, right?—has been blowing up online. Thanks to this hilarious wild ride of a show called Game Changer. It’s kinda like comedians diving into these crazy games every episode. I got this weird thought though—could this ever be a video game? I’m like, “Yeah, maybe?”
So, here’s the thing, I had this Zoom chat with Sam Reich, the Dropout big boss and mastermind of Game Changer. We’re just yapping about how they whip up these wild games, testing them, balancing—honestly, I don’t even know how they keep track. But somewhere in there, I just had to throw out the question: “Hey, ever thought about turning these into video games?”
And here’s the kicker—Sam’s like, “Oh, totally!” With plans up their sleeves, probably something more Dimension 20-ish, which is their big D&D deal. I keep thinking, this could be nuts for Game Changer too.
Sam goes on about this being a whole thing. You know, like, it’s gotta feel like Dropout if it’s gonna be a game. They don’t want some random company out there messing with their stuff. “We gotta be psyched about it ourselves,” he says, which I kinda get, right? It’s gotta stand out or it’s just not worth it.
Oh, and dude, Sam spilled another reason why a game hasn’t popped out yet—it’s just crazy costly and time-consuming. Honestly, duh, making games isn’t like instant noodles, but still.
So, I’m like, “Alright, Sam, is this really happening or just dream-talk?” And he’s all, “Nah, we got ideas brewing.” Made me think they’re really leaning into this, you know? Like, trying to get a grasp by putting out small web games here and there. It’s like learning a new dance move and seeing if you don’t trip over yourself.
From our convo, Sam’s got this vibe. Like, yeah, a Game Changer game’s on the horizon… eventually. He didn’t hit me with a solid date but said something like, “We’ll probably do it; it’s just about when and what.”
And by the way, if you’re into Game Changer, season 7’s wrapping up on Dropout come August 11. Just saying, it might be worth a look.
