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.

Podcast #002 - Off the rails

42
Filed under Podcast

Our second podcast (51 minutes). We loosened up and lost our structure this week, to see how things would work if we didn’t have anything specific to talk about. Hopefully it will give everyone a better feeling for our personalities, but I expect we’ll get back to more test-related stuff for the next show. Let us know what you would prefer to hear by leaving a comment. Also I promise to move further away from the mic next time.

  • Enchiladas vs. Hot Pockets!
  • Justin has so many computers
  • New Xbox 360 releases
  • The last days of Ninja Gaiden 2 development
  • The stuff we’ve been playing lately: Lego Indiana Jones, Age of Conan, Half-Life 2, and of course, Hot Wheels.
