#16: Ben Spurgin's Legacy

October 13, 2009 was the day that NG lost @ben-spurgin, a
prolific and beloved creator known for his wacky games, music and
Stick Slayer animations.


More recently, NG user Jamessimo started working on a sequel to
Ben's game Pimp's Quest. In researching Ben's work, he found
himself falling down a rabbit hole of Spurgin history, coming out
of it a certified "Ben-storian" with a wealth of knowledge to
share.


Ten years after Ben's death, let James the Ben-storian (and Will
the Very Curious Listener) take you through some Spurgin 101,
discuss what made his work so great, and share how his findings
have helped further inspire Pimp's Quest 2.
