Episode Six: Big Ideas
Robert Ashley edits listener-submitted game ideas into one big, crazy game, talks to the guy who owns the rights to Tetris about his plans to save the world, gets a lecture on the future of games from a New York University professor, and meets a struggling game blogger who happens to possess freakishly enormous genitalia.
PARENTAL ADVISORY: A Life Well Wasted is always for grown-ups, but this episode is definitely not for kids. Don’t embarrass yourself by playing it in the car with your grandma.
Comments
Your podcast was a sort of revelation, and obviously many others who grew up in the early days of the modern video game industry agree. I hope you pursue similarly incredible and inspiring projects in the future…

Hey. Just want to say, i stumbled across your podcast last week, and cannot get enough of it. I listen to it while I’m at the gym and working on building my game for release, and it’s great the way you interview people from a personal level, really get to know them and allow us to know them. It’s very well done, and I thank you for amusing me over and over again (not to mention hearing how people want games is very helpful while designing them). You rock good sir.

I still listen to these podcasts, even now… O where have you gone my long lost friend. Not a single other podcast has gripped me as much as the way you compose these, with sound bites of goodness that tell a story ever so perfectly.
