Do exceptional games require innovation and how we juggle media consumption
Janet and Isaiah try to figure out what does it mean to be an exceptional game, what does it mean to innovate in a game, and ultimately try to decide if innovation is a requirement for making an exceptionally good game (GAMES). Then they talk about their media consumption, how many things they try to consume at once, and what media are they consuming and when (NOT GAMES).
