Welcome to Episode 14 of Load Save Game, a podcast where I talk to people about their personal journey with video games. I am your host Jose Eusebio.
My guest today is Nik Corzine. I’ve known Nik since High School. Nik is a lovely person. He’s a great storyteller. Around the time when we first met we were both in Comedy Sportz in High School which is a comedy improv program. I did not keep up with stage performance, but Nik did and went on to do a lot of local theater shows in the Southern California area.
I also have a distinct memory of us playing D&D together. I think the campaign we played together spanned for like two years. And during that time the whole party noticed how fast he would add up all of his bonuses while attacking or doing skill checks. Like he would always know how much damage he was taking before everyone else. And low and behold Nik became a high school math teacher so I’m glad he put those impressive math skills to good use.
We talk about a ton of great video games this episode. Nik talks about barbecuing sheep as the purple dragon Spyro on the Playstation, the 4th wall breaking horror of Eternal Darkness, and being a sort-of one time video game writer while QA Testing Square Enix.
