DLC Spring Recording Days!
Thursday, 2 May 2013 10:40Now that I've pretty much gotten through the entire semester's worth of episodes we recorded in January, it's time to record some new ones! I've whipped up a tentative schedule of topics and recording days--have a look below, and see if any of them pique your interest. If you'd like to be in on more than 1 episode, that's ok too.
Saturday, May 25, 1 PM ET: PS4 and the new Xbox. Sony has already shown its hand (well, a lot of flashy tech demos, but not the actual console itself) with the PS4, and by this point, Microsoft will have unveiled its new Xbox. We discuss what we know, and some lingering speculation, and give our opinions overall.
Sunday, June 2, 1 PM: The NES turns 30 this year (to clarify, it came out as the Famicom in Japan in 1983 before getting re-named the NES for the US release in 1985). We wax nostalgia over our childhood console.
Sunday, June 2, 5 PM: Indie games. We devoted an episode to mobile games in a previous year, but we now know more about them, and how they continue to grow exponentially in popularity. We spend the episode giving an in-depth look at what's making indie games the fastest growing segment of the gaming world. Fan influences on game creation. Just how much should a game developer listen to fans when making its next game? Should a game developer do its own thing, or allow its fans to dictate the course of development?
Saturday, June 22, 1 PM ET, or Sunday, June 23, same time: E3 2013. Pretty much self-explanatory. We break down the E3 news.

There you go. If any of you have an interest in recording with me, let me know!
