CDC Podcast Episode 6 is Up

A little over a week and a half ago I asked TWIVGB compatriots Ben Abraham and Ian Miles Cheong if they wanted to join me in restarting the CDC podcast series. I've wanted to do another ever since I last appeared on episode 3. I love talking to intelligent people, intelligently about... well anything really, but the subject here is video games.

Working for the Weekend on Critical Distance

As some of you may know, or care, Ben Abraham will be gallivanting off to GDC thanks to the generous contributions from around the blogosphere, proving once more that some people have way too much free time on their hands. All kidding aside, I'm sure Ben will do a bang up job covering the event. For those of you who don't know him and will be going, he'll be the one introduced as the Permadeath guy.  He will also have an Australian accent and probably be the only one with a tan. | more
