The Making of Little Miss Gamer: Psychonauts

Part 1

Part 2

Hey, Lee here, and I thought it’d be fun for Lee & Z fans to see the filming process behind our fun review of Psychonauts. This was my first ever attempt at doing live action acting, so people get to see first-hand how difficult it was for me to make such a transition. Let me tell you, acting is a tough thing to do! I was so nervous that I couldn’t even memorize my lines properly at first.

Chad & Z are tough critics, yet they still had no problem with my performance for the most part. Z said that I’m very committed, whether it be on Still Gaming or playing the Sasha Nein character. I’m so glad that experienced filmmakers think that I’m a good actor, despite me having absolutely zero training. While many reviewers these days had training in film school or drama classes, I was just playing video games. I’m still just learning as I go, so hopefully by some miracle I’ll become a good actor someday!

Still Gaming and Little Miss Gamer team up to review Psychonauts
