About this episode
The episode explores whether the perception of excessive cheese in the game Mouse P.I. is supported by mathematical analysis.
IGN seems to think there is TOO much cheese in Mouse P.I. and honestly…this made me wonder if this is truly the case. It’s one thing to FEEL like there’s a lot of cheese in this game, but if you do the MATH, do the numbers back you up?
