As I mentioned to Danny Pudi and Donald Glover when I sat down with them at E3 this week, it was a bit odd to be speaking to them at this particular convention. Covering Community through the years, I’d spoken to the actors at various TV events, and of course at San Diego Comic-Con, where Community always is met with a rapturous reaction by fans. But E3? That was a different environment.

The actors were at the Ubisoft booth this week to help promote Far Cry 4. Neither Pudi or Glover appear in the game, but with the newly-announced co-op mode a notable aspect of Far Cry 4, Ubisoft brought in the guys behind one of TV’s most beloved duos, Troy & Abed, to play the game and learn the joys of joining forces and arming animals together.Naturally, our discussion also turned to Community. I chatted with Glover and Pudi about the show’s recent cancellation and the chance that it could return on Hulu – and asked Glover, who left the show midway through Season 5, whether he’d be up for returning at some point if the show ended up being resurrected.

Donald Glover and Danny Pudi in Community.

Yeah. They were talking to us, and I didn't know they were fans of us [at first], but I really like Ubisoft. I think they made a really dope game, and I like the Far Cry series a lot. I don't get to play a lot of games that take a lot of time, a lot of investment, but this one has a lot of first-person shooter s**t that looks really dope. We got to play it a couple hours ago.Yeah, we got here, and it was a pretty awesome thing, as Donald was saying, because they were fans. They were like, "We want to use you guys. We're doing this co-op thing too, where you guys can play together." I was like, "Yeah, this sounds like a great thing!" Right now, you know, I'm busy cleaning oatmeal off my face from my kids. Donald's on tour -- it's a perfect way for us to connect.[Laughs] This is the only way we get to hang out!It's the only way we truly get to hang out now, in this open world where we're both chasing mangos in the Himalayas. So it's pretty cool. We got to play for two hours. I got to ride an elephant, break down some doors. It's exciting!Well, I like the idea they can arm animals. [Laughs] That was kind of a cool feature. But I think the co-op thing is pretty sweet, because he can drop in -- we're playing together -- and it's kind of a cool feature in this open world to have a buddy drop in too. We were flying some kind of gyrocopter. That thing was pretty amazing because we were both flying together. In Far Cry 3, you can do a lot of zip-lining and stuff. This one kind of kicks it up a notch, because you're literally in the mountains. So that was pretty cool to me. I like the fact that it's a level playing field, because when an elephant can attack, you know, it's a little bit more fair.If you accidentally shoot the elephant, he will attack.By the way, that probably applies to real life too.What we're saying is, it's a teaching game.Yeah, the arming animals thing is cool. That's how they hooked us. But the co-op feature I feel like is the most fun part. It's the buddy team-up part. It's really cool. I guess that's the fun part of a lot of the shooting games, but really with this one, [also] how lush the environment is. It's really cool to be able to hang out with him and see him and help him up and stuff like that. That's the best part for me.Yeah!It would be. If our TVs were advanced enough and our audio/visual equipment was advanced enough for the PS4, I think we would all be playing Far Cry in our trailers.All the time. But in our trailers, we had, like, state-of-the-art water, stuff like that.Yeah, and we had a couple of Native American photos... so we’d literally just do charades.If we had a TV that wasn't from 1992, we would play Far Cry all the time.Oh yeah, a PS4!Pudi: [Laughs] "Wait a minute!"This is my first time.This is my first time. My dad used to go a lot when we were kids. He used to lie and say he was part of some company and come.[Laughs] They said, "No kids."Yeah, they were like, "No kids" at the time, and I was under 18. So this is my first time. I just texted him, and he was like, "Oh my gosh!" I really should have brought him. I feel really bad, but yeah, he used to go all the time.It's pretty incredible because I think going Comic-Con, it's pretty overwhelming. It's almost a flood to your senses. But literally I just went to the bathroom once, and I ran into the inventor of Tetris. I mean, I could spot him in the crowd pretty quickly. It's incredible. But yeah, all the video games -- the trailer for Far Cry, the trailer for the new Assassin's Creed -- everything looks really, really incredible.Yeah, Tom Clancy’s The Division? That one looks dope.It's pretty cool. Just the technology of this is incredible. It's fun to actually take it in and see everything.I really like storytelling. That's pretty much all I try to do, like world-building and storytelling -- and that's everything now. It actually kind of makes me sad how I don't get to play -- I look at coming here the same way I look at going to Amoeba, the record store; I can't listen to all of it. So coming here, it's cool, because the storytelling is just so incredible now. It's like you grow up with characters and stuff -- even Assassin's Creed, you can see the transition and the change. Far Cry has jumped so much from the beginning. I feel like it's really cool to see how storytelling has changed in all forms of video games.
