I will be there as often as I can, as every show.

And I'm going to be one of the three people helping look after the Gone Home booth for the weekend! Yeah!

The game really does sound genuinely cool, but also the sort of game I can never really get into. I always try and always fail. So this time it's money saved I think.

And the iPhone wallpapers!

Iiiiiiiiidllleee Thuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumbs. Games, Video games, video games etc.

Go to add podcasts - add feed or whatever, and then use http://www.idlethumbs.net/feeds/dotatoday

AD S4 is the best season. There, I said it.

Aye, that's to be expected I guess! It helps when you don't have a PR person around, and are not surrounded by thousands of people. And obv practice, I guess!

Hah! Yeah, audio is never amazing with the cast. I think I've given up warning people on every episode. And I_Smell: I'm not sure the extent to which you're being serious, but I'll pretend you are and thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This is genuinely super nerve-wracking for me, and I don't know why. So most of you know that I do this interviews podcast thing called Buried in the Credits. While I was at GDC, I was fortunate enough to speak with some freaking awesome people (Nels Anderson, Steve Gaynor, to name a few that you guys will have heard of) but there were a couple that were set up by a PR agency. Now: three interviews were set up, and the first was OK - I could tell they wanted to simply pitch me their game, but I feel like I pulled it around to make it an interesting BitC addition. The second was a total trainwreck. I was sat down, forced to watch 30m of a video game whilst having the guy give me his spiel, and was also accompanied by another *journalist* whose first question - I shit you not - was 'When will this game be released?' So I wasn't too sure about the final interview, to say the least. I was tempted to put it off, but something stayed my hand. The final interview was with Brian Kwek and Ian Gregory of Witching Hour Studios and - quite simply - I think it's one of the greatest episodes available yet. That isn't to detract from previous shows - I can't even begin to express how awed I am that some people I think are really goddamn cool *wanted* to be on my show, and I think I got some great coverage from them, but these two guys simply blew me away. Both are intelligent, witty, charismatic, and absolutely devoted to the idea of making good video games. They epitomise what I think GDC *was* for me, and I think the reason I fear people's reaction so much is because I feel like it's the most real, the most honest episode for me. It shows me as I am - for better or worse - and if people don't like it, then I think maybe I'm not supposed to keep doing the show. I don't know, the episode is available here - http://buriedinthecredits.com/2013/05/24/episode-15-brian-kwek-ian-gregory-witching-hour-studios-paint-me-like-one-of-your-french-girls/ - if you do like it, please let me know. It would mean the world to me. You can also review it on iTunes etc if you like.

Well, it's not really. It just so happens that Amazon very recently (last couple of days) reduced the price of their Wii U units. EDIT: And I think Gamefly, Lovefilm etc. would disagree with the second half of your statement.

My favourite thing was the chat. Xbox. Show fantasy. No, I meant... OH GOD. NO XBOX. MY MOTHER IS IN THE ROOM CAN'T YOU SEE OH GOD.

steam chat you guys??

Beginning of exam season today. 2.25hr exam on Evolutionary Anthropology: aka, basically all about primates. Kinda nervous, but largely OK. I think I'm ready. I hope I am, at least.

I very rarely have much to say in these threads, but I just wanted to say Great Job this week guys. I genuinely thought it was a brilliant episode, and up there amongst the best of the show. I received a ridiculous number of looks for the number of times I burst out laughing while trying to get some minor shopping done in town during lunch. Really great. Too many to remember correctly, but I thought Chris's Obama minute was freaking brilliant.

I have a copy of Trackmania 2: Stadium for £6 if anyone wants it

Not comical, but this is the greatest video I've seen in a long damn time:

The beginning of this book is my favourite due to its bluntness. Robert Cohn was once middleweight boxing champion of Princeton. Do not think I am very much impressed by that fact, but it meant a lot of Cohn. Sooooooo good.

Oh that's rad. Nels is in SF atm too? Cool times. First time I met Steve Gaynor I was walking through the lobby of the hotel we were both coincidentally staying at and I recognised him. I went up, introduced myself, then had places to be. That was cool, then we kept meeting throughout GDC (eventually recording a pod wooo). Then I saw Jake in a different hotel lobby, freaked out and said nothing. Then I met Chris by the Gone Home booth and was like OH HI OH CRAZY.

The top story on reddit right now is ... http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1e2s0u/discovered_that_everyone_thinks_a_fake_xbox/

one of those was me and I am sorry for being awful. everything piled up at once and I didn't know what to do.

1) toblix you are the worst 2) i never knew tim schafer is blind

Fuck, you guys. I wish you all were directing.

I also think it'd be hard to say "she's got a tongue like an electric eel, and she likes the taste of a man's tonsils" entirely seriously

Hahaha. A self-effacing Flashheart, kinda boyish, would be hilarious. Unfortunately I think people will be going to see the show expecting something else!
