In this episode we take you on a wonderful journey through space and time! It’s really difficult for me to explain how it all works but what I can tell you is that, time travel was involved. Here at Platform Biased we have a firm grasp on Continuity. It’s very important to us and not something to be trifled with. So, we devoted an entire show to proving our mastery over Continuity. Give the episode a listen and you’ll see. Just remember…where we’re going we don’t need roads….
XOXO From the Future (or past) Porkfry
P.s. John, Bex, and Chris all say hi also from the future (or past)

This is a back issue episode. You’ll feel extra smart knowing the answers to all of our questions, and knowing whether the games we talk about are actually any good. We did save you some time by removing any discussion of the Olympics from the final show. =)
Thanks for the patience while we catch up.

Drink the elixir! Just John & Chris on the show this week, and they spend an inordinate amount of time talking about Final Fantasy Elixir, a not-so-delicious Lychee-flavored beverage.

We welcome Bex to the show! Bex is an SDET in the GTO, and an expert at music games — most recently having worked on the Lips franchise. Everybody say hi to Bex, and leave comments / questions which we’ll answer in a future show.

Hey there! While you’re waiting on our next show we thought you might like to hear us on some other podcasts.
Jessica & Matt from the Zune Insider podcast had Chris & Greg on to talk about Platform Biased.
David Ellis from 4 Guys 1Up had John (& others) on the February 12th show to talk about Crackdown 2.
Hope you enjoy, we’ll be back on Thursday with the latest episode of Platform Biased.
#032 is the show where we talk about our favorite games of 2009. We should have another show up next week if you can believe it!

#031 is a special episode for us, as it consists entirely of an interview with Greg B. Jones, Director of the Games Test Organization at Microsoft Game Studios. Chris & John speak with Greg about his vision for the GTO, where he thinks the future of games testing lies, and some games too.
We’ll be back very soon with a standard show–in the meantime thanks to Greg for his time, insight, and strong support of this show.

Hey! It’s Platform Biased episode #030! We’re brand new, more frequent, and possibly even weirder.
And now, a word from our new member.
How often do you sit around with your friends and discuss what’s going on in the games industry? What games are you excited about? Why are you excited about them? Once you start talking about those games and you’ve devoured all the information on the web you can find on the specific topic what do you want to do then? Find more information, right?! That’s what we’re going to strive to provide you here at Platform Biased. The name says it all, we are going to be 360-centric. We like the 360 quite a bit, so much so that we happen to work on games for said system! On the flip side to that we’re all gamers, as you can see from the gamer scores…some more than others, but the big E on the eye chart is that we love talking about games, and the industry and all that stuff! So that’s just what we’re going to do.
We’re going to work SUPER hard (baring our current projects taking over a majority of our time) on giving you a look inside the industry from the 360 perspective. That’s going to cover thing like interviews with people we work with here to let you know what kind of stuff they do along with interviews with people who are working on other 360 titles. We’ll work on getting you some inside info…you know…like the stuff that only we know (disclaimer: that wont’ get us fired). All you have to do is Click on the “Listen” down there or subscribe to the Podcast on iTunes and we will selflessly provide you with things to listen to.
Please leave feedback and ask questions and we’ll see what we can do about answering them!
We’re still working out the kinks and we’re planning on having some other changes but I can’t let all of the cats out of the collective bags so just sit tight. For now, here is the “SUPER AWESOME RELAUNCH” Episode of Platform Biased! Jam packed with things that we talk about! IN 3D!
(Note: Podcast is not actually in 3D.)

The last of the older episodes (we have one more “other” episode though before we relaunch).
We welcome Dan Tunnell from Turn 10 to talk about his work on Forza Motorsport 3. Dan gives some great insight into the development of a world-class racing game.
