Being Thanksgiving and all, we won’t have a show this week. Go eat some Turkey and take a nap. We’ll be back shortly with our usual level of stupidity. Especially if Justin is on.

Website upgrades
Filed under Blog
Now that the bulk of our holiday titles are out the door, expect to see some more work go into the website over the next few months.
You’ll notice we now have the NXE Gamercards on the right. Justin has his avatar on the Platform Biased gamercard because he can’t remember to bring his normal profile to work.
Further work will include adding more useful stuff to the sidebar, cleaning up some of our layouts and posting templates, and probably some other stuff that we haven’t thought of yet.
Is there anything that’s not on the site that you would like to see?
Site upgraded

We’ve updated the backend software for the site to fix a security hole. Please let us know if anything is acting funky.

Today’s show is delayed
Filed under Blog
Hey everyone,
We will have a show this week, but it won’t be the usual Wednesday. Not that we’ve actually posted it on Wednesdays, thanks to you-know-who. Instead, we’re going to post the show this Friday evening.
The reason for the delay is that we’re crazy busy finishing up our titles: Scene-it, Banjo, and Fable 2. And we’re pretty sure you guys would rather have games than a silly little podcast, right?
No show this week

Hey everyone,
As you may know, we lost a close member of our test family and the Banjo-Kazooie team last week. We wanted our next podcast to feature this great upcoming title, but we need to give everyone some time to take care and regroup.
Thanks for understanding, folks. We’ll have a show next week.
Our next show is coming, but it’s a little late

Looks like Wednesday’s show won’t be out till Thursday. With E3 it’s been a bit crazy. Thanks for your patience!
Scene It? Box Office Smash!
Filed under Blog
Hurrah! I can finally talk about what I’ve been working on all this year: Scene It? Box Office Smash has been announced during the Microsoft Keynote @ E3.
This new Scene It is the first retail game to support the new Xbox LIVE Avatars (also announced today) so that you can play as your own custom character. The other big new feature is online play for 16 people via LIVE.
We’ll speak more about Scene It? and the other announcements from E3 in an upcoming podcast.
Questions! We want questions!

Hey dudes and dudettes,
Just a reminder, if you have any questions for us for our next show, leave them in the comments. We’ll pick the best of the best to read and answer. Try to focus on process, testing, game development, or life at Microsoft. We can’t answer anything about unannounced release dates or features of upcoming games.
Ask away!
