Tryed to do an episode of TCR with my son present. It was difficult to say the least. Hence this one is short. Also I didn't upload through the normal channels so you can pick it up at the old TCR Podomatic page. Enjoy!
I found it cool how you interviewed your son about his favorite video games. I think that Sim City debacle shows you that nobody wants this always online shit, Dablo 3 has proven that. Singleplayer should not need always online. You can play all your Steam games (well maybe not the online multiplayer ones) offline. GOG sells you the games DRM free and is doing so well, that they can hold there own with Steam and has expanded their reach from old games to new Indie games and some Triple A titles. This always online shit wont stop Pirates it will alienate players from your product and rather encourage piracy. We need to discourage such practices and stomp them out. Every Dollar bill we have is a vote for or against such practices. EAs Origin looks almost as bad as Gametap. Anyway fun episode, made my day. Hope to be back soon from my PC exile.

ReplyDeleteThe abrupt ending of this episode had me in stitches. The fact that you were trying to read one of my stupid comments made it even better.
