We talk about Stephen "Mortdog" Mortimer, most famous for being the current ongoing lead designer behind League of Legends's autobattler Teamfight Tactics, but also responsible for the mini-Mario games in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series and... other games at Nintendo of America! Does Mortimer have a throughline in his work? Is Crosswords Plus secretly the best game in his ludography? Has anyone ever had a non-toxic relationship with League of Legends? All the questions and more answered in this episode. Galvan wrote this description by the way.

We get into the DEEP CUTS this time with underground artist Shigeru Miyamoto—oh wait, he actually created Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, which are two of the most lucrative properties in video games, along with Donkey Kong, Super Mario 64, Devil World, Excitebike, and Kung Fu. How did an industrial design major like Miyamoto adopt the "game designer" title so early? Did his philosophy change as he moved from arcade cabinets to home consoles? Is Super Mario Run a hidden masterpiece!?
