I lead Product Marketing Lead at PostHog. Previously: Pollen, Scoro, Hambro Perks, Dennis Publishing. Recovering journalist.
Last week Jason Dewey interviewed me for a new video series he’s doing called Press X to Speak. I talked about what I like about games, what I hate about them and what my biggest professional regrets are. This teaser clip features me talking about The Secret of Monkey Island and why I enjoy co-operative singleplayer more than just straight multiplayer. Watch it, do.
I also love playing single player games in a multiplayer way.
While listening to your interview I couldnt help to remember when my brother and I played Monkey Island one together, particularly the part where you have to learn how to fight with the sword by building counter arguments ir jokes. I dont think I’ve ever laughed nor been so ibterested in a game since then (well, perhaps with ocarina of time). Thanks for sharing your words and bring back such great memories, sword master.

Ha – I remember doing the same. It actually took us about six months for my brother and I to get past the swordmaster!
