My guests today are Andrew Seklir and Tim Kinzy, the directors and producers of the newly released videogame documentary Man vs. Snake. We talk about their videogame history of course, starting with Sears Pong machines and New York Bodegas and up to virtual reality with some side stories into Top Cat style arcade hacking their worst rage quits. We talk a lot about the movie too, from it's inception during a high score battle in the editing suite of Battlerstar Galactica through the recent wave of interest they've spawned in the long forgotten Nibbler. What the fuck is Nibbler? Watch the movie:
