Podcast klaxon. The Electronic Wireless Show has recently awoken from the depths and has been going on a rampage, talking to developers like Tim Keenan of Duskers about science-fiction and Christine Love of Ladykiller in a Bind about sex, among many other industry sorts. We’re like real radio journalists!
In the final episode of this special run, we are talking to the makers of hack ‘n’ dash explorer Hyper Light Drifter and dreamlike detective adventure Virginia, and how both games aim to tell a story without using a single line of dialogue. Show offs. Read the rest of this entry »
Hello, friends. Our podcast, the Electronic Wireless Show, returned last week to talk about science fiction in games with a trio of Independent Games Festival awards nominees. One of those interviewees (Brendon Chung of Quadrilateral Cowboy) went on to win dat big ol’ prize.
It’s time to use to our radio voice. The RPS Electronic Wireless Show has historically been our not-very-regular podcast where we gather to tell each other how wrong we are about videogames. But this month it has mutated into something different. In the lead-up to this year’s Independent Games Festival, we interviewed a whole bunch of developers, all of whom have been nominated for some kind of award this year. We’ll be talking to them about sex, politics, and other things we’ve never understood.
Pubs would be so much more interesting if they were like RPG taverns. Go in for a refreshing beverage. Leave on an epic quest to save the world from evil, instead of to pick up that knock-off TV you accidentally bought from the tattooed bloke who really didn’t understand the meaning of the word ‘no’. True, ‘You all meet in a tavern’ is the Dungeon Master equivalent of ‘It was a dark and stormy night’, but it’s hard to argue with the efficiency. Where else would heroes assemble, to eat, drink and be merry?
Top Score is a podcast that interviews and highlights the work of videogames’ best composers. The show is produced by Minnesota Public Radio and since 2011 has featured musicians from Skyrim, Grim Fandango, Luftrausers and Legend of Grimrock 2, among dozens of others. It’s designed to be accessible to an audience who maybe know music better than they know games, but the result is a series of entertaining interviews with insight into a part of the game production process that often goes overlooked. What’s the news here? There isn’t any – it’s simply excellent and I only discovered it this weekend.
Gosh! Such a lot has happened since last episode of the weekly Rock, Paper, Shotgun podcast. It’s almost hard to comprehend how so many events could happen in just seven days. Luckily, John, Jim and Graham have chosen just the most important happenings to talk about on the episode itself. Topics include Jim’s thoughts on Lichdom: Battlemage, Graham’s thoughts on Brigador, John’s thoughts on a game he can’t name yet.
Come, step below to listen and rejoice. We’re great at this.
