October 13, 2009 was the day that NG lost @ben-spurgin, a prolific and beloved creator known for his wacky games, music and Stick Slayer animations. More recently, NG user Jamessimo started working on a sequel to Ben's game Pimp's Quest. In researching Ben's work, he found himself falling down a rabbit hole of Spurgin history, coming out of it a certified "Ben-storian" with a wealth of knowledge to share. Ten years after Ben's death, let James the Ben-storian (and Will the Very Curious Listener) take you through some Spurgin 101, discuss what made his work so great, and share how his findings have helped further inspire Pimp's Quest 2. ~~~ GROUNDS PATROL is a podcast dedicated to informing and inspiring Newgrounds creators. New episodes come out every other Wednesday and feature artist interviews and roundtable discussions. Thank you to our PATRONS for making this show possible.
