That was really enjoyable to listen to. Insightful as well! In particular I enjoyed the casual atmosphere and relaxed discourse within a structured format. The whole program reminded me of the radio show This American Life. Looking forward to the next one!

Very interesting to hear how much theory comes into play when designing a game. The thought process behind Garrett's personality (and inventory!) was particulary cool.

I think it's pretty cool that some of the dev's did some of the voice-work in some of their past games and it actually sounds really good - i.e. Freedom Force. Man-Bot rules!

You don't see that really too much anymore, but yeah - it was cool when Gearbox did the same thing in Borderlands. Worked well there, as well. Scooter's a riot.

    Took me 6 hours to listen to this 30 min podcast. I've been busy at home today.

    Anyways it was great to hear some behind the scenes stuff and the stuff from the past. Actually made me sad. I miss those days of all dev stuff and crazy boxes in the stores. I still have mine LOL.

    Great job all. And I swear i know the name Shawn Elliott from CGW.

    Have fun..

      I really enjoyed the southie stories portion. I had been to South Boston numerous times as a kid in the late 90s when my aunt lived there. Even attended a couple of those Saint Patty's Day parades, which were never enjoyable. I'm now really curious if I ever walked past the old Irrational offices at some point in my young life.
