Very interesting. I really appreciate the candor and talking honestly about failed ideas and unfinished games. Wish more podcasts did this.

PS.

Can't help but feel sympathy for a company that allows customers to take a peek through the window for more than just the purpose of pure marketing.

I never thought my 15 minutes of fame would involve a handicapped pet.

Does that worry you about the eventuality and details of your "30 minutes of fame"?

Very funny. I'm determined to get "Dog in a wheelchair" status as a recognized meme.

Is this a sly hint to what is locked away, by any chance.

If they had gone with the crazy slug monster idea, who all here would have just been constantly shooting them?

I know I would have had a hard time resisting that urge.

Oh man...I was at work when I listened to this and the part of the game pitch and killing the team mate by accident made me laugh out loud , causing fellow coworkers to stare at me...I continued to laugh. Then peed myself at the 'dog in a wheelchair' bit in the very end...

Great podcast. I love listening to developer commentary like that. And it was especially great to hear about District 9. Sad that it never came about, but at least we got BioShock out of it.

Huge Shawn Elliott fan from way back in the CGW/GFW Radio days -- with talent like that you guys are well on your way to having the best developer podcast in the video game industry.

    "they flash banged your heart, Shawn"

    One of the funniest lines I've heard in a while. Did the swat commando allow you to "holster" his pistol?

    The Dog In A Wheelchair Power-Hour was hilarious. It\'s too bad about Division 9, as it would\'ve been great to play a strategic zombie apocalypse that actually trained you if the real thing ever happens. Maybe you guys should make it to help out humanity anyway?

    Also, your next project should be a part soccer-sim as well.

    Awesome 1st podcast, best/worst part was the Division 9 idea... oh how I yearn for Zombie X-Com, Max Brooks style. And to think THE Shockers could have developed it... but sold the rights.

    Great info, great podcast, great Shawn Elliot - Irrational is back.
