Watch Sup, Holmes? live every Sunday at 1pm PST/4pm EST Last Sunday on Sup Holmes (now oniTunes), Rich Grillotti and Miles Tilman of Pixeljam Games tolerated my ridiculous blanket statements regarding art student stereotypes and bared their souls to me.

The really freaking cool part about it all is that every individual piece inside the world is virtual paper, folded up exactly to the artists’ specifications. Graphic programmer Mark Zarb-Adarmi laughingly jokes that it’s “all very tricky.” I don’t think anyone will be arguing with that anytime soon.
