🚨 Starting in 2024 🚨 📽 New episodes of Tech Talk will premiere on the Tech Talk with Daniel Albu KZbin channel! 👉www.youtube.com/@danielalbu

[@stevena488]

I like Steve Purcell. I always find it funny that the most unassuming and nicest people tend to make the absolute craziest and borderline insane art imaginable (looking at you Grickle!)

[@danielalbu]

Speaking of Grickle, have you watched my interview with Graham Annable? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmGtlIOpZa-ai80si=Jf9AlxD0RewlD2-7

[@Sophix_37]

A new conversation with Steve, sweet!

[@frilansspion]

Steve Purcell! What an absolute legend. And what an epic interview! (although theres some slight friction?) Thank you both for your time. I had a very similar reaction to yours when the MI2 cover painting was shown! Added together I must have admired that image for maybe 10 hours over the years. That would be something to have on the wall. Ive havent heard it mentioned but these guys cant be very happy with the remakes, and the fact that all their amazing unique art and style is overridden by lower-quality photoshop stuff in the mind of so many new gamers...

[@danielalbu]

Thank you for the kind words! Slight friction is what happens when two sarcastic people talk for 4 hours 😜 (But seriously, Steve is awesome and he was more than generous with his time and with his insights)

[@moffit_reborn5029]

I echo everybody's comments about this being a fantastic interview. Daniel, I'm always impressed with the amount of preparation you go through with each of your talks. I'm sure it's obvious to the guests when you actually have the interview, and probably in advance when you're getting the everything planned. There's obviously a lot behind the scenes, and it is much appreciate. Glad you have other viewers that feel the same as I do. A huge thanks for Steve Purcell giving so much of his time as well and sharing some momentos with the audience.

[@danielalbu]

I'm really grateful for your encouraging words. Comments like yours are what motivate me to keep going, so I truly appreciate the effort you put into sharing your thoughts extensively on every interview you watch on this channel!

[@moffit_reborn5029]

You're very welcome! I remember in one of Paul's streams you mentioned having comments to videos helps with metrics or something like that. So, I try with every video. Plus, how else are you going to know how far behind I am?

[@neocolors]

You guys are on fire! Looking forward to this and the Bill Tiller Curse LP!

[@danielalbu]

Wait till you what else we've got in store!

[@generalfishcake]

Oh my god, what a great interview with a true legend. Thank you both for doing this!!

[@chongel]

omg this is all so great, I'm still blown away by all these extraordinary conversations with all these great people who really influenced my childhood in the most positive way. maybe i'm being silly but somehow this feels like some kind of closure to me. i think it's incredible how art has the ability to seap through all these improbable physical, mental and temporal channels, barriers and filters and still contain somewhat fundamental apects of people's personalities in it. you reached me and many others at a crucial time in our lifes and that's fucking dope!

[@danielalbu]

Thank you for your heartfelt comment! It's incredibly rewarding to know that these interviews resonate with you! These individuals I interview hold a special place in my heart as well, they've influenced my own life in profound ways. Here's to more inspiring conversations ahead!

[@chongel]

@@danielalbu let's go! =)

[@Nillerus]

Brilliant interview! Well researched, no interruptions, in depth. Truly impressive. And damn do I idolise Steve Purcell.

[@danielalbu]

Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching! ❤

[@cplhicks246]

Great interview and a lot of fun to get thoughts and reflections from persons pivotal to some of the best computer games ever made

[@danielalbu]

Thanks for watching!

[@Jeremy-lq4ed]

Wow - great work Daniel! This was a particularly fun interview and seeing the original MI2 painting was amazing! Steve is full of interesting stories and insights and he’s been involved in so many LucasArts classics. I can’t wait for your next interviews!

[@danielalbu]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed this interview! Be sure to follow the "Tech Talk with Daniel Albu" playlist! kzbin.info/aero/PL9qFy7xdUfuTE4Xnzran_1ReI_Q0ofL3V

[@pauledwards5266]

Great conversation, with some excellent banter as well!

[@danielalbu]

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@mattarmstrong6478]

This is an absolutely amazing Steve Purcell interview, what you'd give to be able to buy some of his original art and start an Art Gallery with it all :)

[@leporinedivine]

how exciting! what a wonderful interview it was great to hear about most of steve purcell’s work!

[@danielalbu]

Thanks for watching! And don't forget to subscribe to the Tech Talk with Daniel Albu KZbin channel for more interviews! www.youtube.com/@danielalbu

[@supersalami80]

Very great. I hope all this legends work together as a team again in the future. I hope you do a Tim Schafer Interview in the future. 🎉

[@danielalbu]

Thanks for watching! Stay tuned and you won't be disappointed!

[@ULHgP21]

Legendary interview!

[@danielalbu]

Wow! Thank you for the kind words! ❤

[@Trone2]

Something i'd like to ask (In regards to censorship) In the TV show we can see Sam and Max wearing Seatbelts whenever they're driving. This was something other shows like Batman had to do since kids are in cars with their parents. I'd ask if there were any other rules like this were applied by the producers?

[@jeremykoerner4100]

Steve Purcell, a man amongst men!

[@SuspensionOfDisbelief]

❤

[@silcrow3241]

47:56 Seattle mentioned 👀

[@MaxFury_Official]

Is that the Edison's family in the bakground on the wall? Edit: HA! I was right

[@Gato-Sama123]

AAAAAAAAH🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@neocolors]

1:43:18 *fanboy screaming*

[@danielalbu]

The scream was at a frequency audible only to dogs!

[@neocolors]

@@danielalbu I was talking about myself screaming, but we had a similar jaw dropping expression on our faces! I thought it was even bigger, but 2 feet x 3 feet is still pretty good! I have that great Purcell Monkey Island print he sold a few years ago, also in a very piratey frame, but it's only 1 foot x 2 foot.

[@Bashar3A]

How much to get Steve Purcell to make LOOM cover art?

[@DukeLukeProd]

"you have viewers?" 😂 3:25:18 Clearly the guy people came here for.

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

38:00 - Not good interview form to force the guest to stop expressing what he is saying. Better to wait until they are done and then go back to what you wanted to say. I'm enjoying the interview, though, thank you!

[@danielalbu]

Thank you for the feedback. During the interview, there was a noticeable delay between our responses, resulting in numerous instances where we inadvertently spoke simultaneously. To mitigate this, I made several edits to evenly distribute these occurrences, alternating between instances where either of us interrupted the other. In reality, we consistently began speaking simultaneously in each instance. So in this instance it may seem like I'm interrupting him too harshly. I can assure you that was not the case, as I don't tend to interrupt my guests (which is why my interviews tend to be so lengthy...)

[@neocolors]

@@danielalbu wow, that must be a ton of work to get through four hours of material and synchronize these delays. Thanks for all the effort!

[@danielalbu]

​@@neocolors I worked on the final edit for about 40 hours (to fix all of the audio, video and delay issues) in addition to the 4 hours that I actually spent recording this interview :)

[@neocolors]

@@danielalbu40hrs to make it look like it was done live without any editing! I have to admit I never thought about how much work goes into these videos!
