- ↑ Liam stated, "We didn't shoot these games in a day. There was space, days often between them. I would go off like a madman into this laboratory and just write, think, and figure out what the previous game meant for what was coming up next. Sometimes it was challenging, but it was very exciting to draw it all together."
