Neopets with Alec Robbins

Neoneo, neo! Neo! Is the kind of thing Neopets would say if they were Pokemon, but of course they are not as good as Pokemon. They are just PNGs on a webpage. And there are millions of them rotting away in locked accounts. We're joined by return guest Alec Robbins, author of CRIMEHOT and narrative director at Squanch Games, to discuss the early 2000s browser game sensation. Back when you literally only had Internet Explorer and you were thankful for it. (And yes, it is British.) Plus, where did Keep Calm and Carry On come from?
