A Game-Changing Video Game is On the Horizon

Alright, so here’s the scoop—Dropout, which everyone probably remembers as College Humor back in the day, is kinda blowing up online now. And yeah, a lot of it’s thanks to this wild show they’ve got called Game Changer. It’s like comedians doing all these crazy games, and honestly, it’s pretty genius. I found myself wondering like, will they turn this into a game you can actually play? Spoiler: They just might.

So, I had this chat with Sam Reich, the guy running the show at Dropout. We got talking about Game Changer, all the nitty-gritty of putting it together. But my mind kept wandering, you know? Like, what if they made a video game out of any of their shows?

Reich was all for it. I mean, he didn’t just shrug it off. Maybe it’ll be based on their Dimension 20 series (which is huge in the D&D crowd) or maybe Game Changer itself. Who knows? Or maybe he does—he seemed pretty into the idea.

But, he also got real about the grind. Making games isn’t a piece of cake, apparently. It’s not just about snapping fingers. Loads of time, energy, and let’s not forget, cash. You can’t just hand off your baby to a stranger; it’s gotta be them. Feels like they’ve gotta actually be excited and not just throw something together to ride the hype wave.

Still, Reich didn’t seem like he was just dreaming—or maybe he was dreaming but with a plan? Said they’ve dabbled with little web games already. Like dipping toes in the water, testing if they’re actually cut out for this whole game development thing. Which is smart, right?

He came off pretty sure that a Game Changer game would happen. Eventually. "It’s not if, it’s when" sort of thing. Just gotta figure out the ‘what’ and ‘when.’ It’s not happening tomorrow, but the wheels are definitely turning.

Oh, and mark your calendar or whatever, because Game Changer’s Season 7 finale drops on August 11, just on Dropout. Maybe catch it, get a feel for why this might explode into a whole video game universe someday. No promises, but you never know!
