Justin Roiland talks Trover, loving his dogs, and buttholes

Published , by Chris Jarrard

Admittedly, the never-ending sea of E3 2019 content can eventually take its toll on even the most curious video game fanatic, but occasionally you get to have a chat with an interesting person that becomes a welcome vacation from the norm. We got to sit down with Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland and Squanch Games Lead Designer Erich Meyr in what was supposed to be a friendly chat about Trover Saves the Universe, but quickly devolved into something nearly indescribable.

In these written companions to our video content, we typically give a light description of the contents of the interview and some details on the game or product in question. Describing what happens in this particular interview borders on impossible.

I can list a small selection of the topics discussed during more than forty minutes of insanity:

Justin’s dogs

Reverse John Wicking yourself

Making video games

Sharks

Buttholes

The California Raisins

Trying to work through Days Gone

Reincarnation

Pigs are people

Bethesda owner Joe Bethesda

Gooigi

Roiland also joined stream hosts Asif Khan and Blake Morse in bestowing Best of E3 2019 Awards to the various exhibitors. This is a video that you probably don’t wanna miss while simultaneously be troubled that you sat through. Awesome.
