Isaac and Steve talk to two of the earliest PopCap hires, artist/designer Tysen Henderson and programmer Jeff Weinstein, both of whom were at PopCap years before either of our gracious hosts arrived. Insane aquariums, anti-shark typing and flying pigs erupted soon after, along with one of PopCap's first fully polished action games, Astropop. Come, join us in the weeds with these two PopCap legends!
