@Luke. I didn’t know most of the people I interviewed for the show (so far), with the exception of the EGM folks. I was a freelancer for a bunch of the gaming magazines in SF, when those existed. EGM was one of my main gigs. Glad you’re enjoying it.

I thought I’d comment here because it had to fewest posts.
Robert, this show is one of the best I’ve heard. I’m only up to episode four but damn I love this show. You’ve done a great job and hope to hear more… after 5 and 6.
Did you know alot of the people on the shows prior to doing them? You wrote for EGM, right? (I’ve heard of this goggle site I could use to find out but I think it’s powered by evil gnomes.)

I listened to the episodes sort of in chrono-reverse and loved all of them. Well-researched plus a deep human element of the field. Please don’t let the background music force its way in front of the spoken bits, as – like in other well/wasted casts – it sometimes gets a bit tough to hear the talk above the music.

The death of gaming print magazines comes as no surprise, as it correlates with the sorry state of depth in game releases now. I laughed at the stories the staff told and was moved too (as most of your listeners probably likewise can relate to these on some personal note). Will miss good print writing and the pace of those times.

this is incredible. it feels like someone is reading a games magazine to me and the colors and the design and pictures are music and sound effects.

I really like this. It feels like watching an old documentary but on something I’m actually interested in, keep up the good work.

Finally got around to listening to this, Robert. (Don’t hate me!) Totally blown away. I had super high expectations for this, so I procrastinated a while, but you seriously nailed it.

Really sad to hear old pals, many of whom no longer live here as a result, talk about the demise of EGM. Made me teary.
