As someone who plays 100% more games than he creates but is endlessly curious about the process of adventure game creation, I thought this was a very interesting documentary.
It's 97% spoiler free, so don't worry if you haven't played The Phantom Fellows yet. But also, if you haven't played it yet, why not? It didn't get the buzz of games like The Drifter and Foolish Mortals but I think it's one of the best adventure games of the past bazillion years.

Bob, this game was pretty much made for you, you'll love it. It's the rare adventure game that doesn't say 'hey, look at me, I'm being funny!' it just *is* funny. I can't remember playing a comedy game with such smart writing (and self editing) since maybe Day of the Tentacle. Very few and far between. Beyond that, it's top-notch to play, too.
Well worth the watch. It’s very clear that Paul and OSE are “fellows”. There is chemistry there. If you could peak inside the AGH network chat you’d see thousands of messages that ooze passion and respect for each member.
Regarding the game, TPF is one of the funniest dialogue scripts you’ll ever see. Paul is an extremely funny guy and it is clear in the game.
