Podcast #006 – *BLEEPS* & Bolts

Posted by jaynoon on August 24, 2008 – 5:02 pm

 

Our sixth podcast (58 minutes).

This is the first in a series of podcasts in which we will go in-depth with upcoming MGS holiday titles. This week we’re talking Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. We talk about test with Chris Chamberlain (Banjo Test Lead) and Dave Johnson (Vehicle Building Tester). We talk about production with Peter Connelly (MS Producer). Don’t miss this podcast, especially Peter, who is one of the most entertaining folks we have at MGS.

  • Justin interviews Chris Chamberlain and Dave Johnson on testing Banjo
  • Jeff, Justin and John talk about new games, particularly the awesome summer lineup of XBLA titles (Geometry Wars 2, Braid, Bionic Commando, Castle Crashers)
  • John interviews Peter Connelly, Producer of Banjo, and linguist extraordinaire

    Hey everyone,
    Sorry we lost a few comments, and the in-browser player has been removed from all posts. It was causing some havoc on the backend that we’re still working on recovering from. -John

    So are any of you guys gonna be at PAX? Thought you might say something in the show.

    And those interviews were fun, even with all the “Goofy” bleeps :)
