One of Swords Podcast 168: Your Pedantic Egos




One Of Swords show

Summary: Jay Puryear -- one of the Treyarch wizards who usually remains behind the curtain -- found himself cornered into doing an interview at the Call of Duty Championships and couldn't get out of it, so the resulting chat turned out to be pretty interesting. We discuss the event, how Treyarch supports eSports, and Jay's personal past in gaming magazines...almost. Hugh, Kat and I discuss the Championship as well, plus PS3 & PC personalization packs, Atari 2600 games, new impending 360 DLC for Black Ops II, and a small addendum to Hugh's Natalie Portman story from last week -- because his wife told him to. I don't get it either. Get the podcast on iTunes Get the podcast on your own with RSS Feedburner Or use the links below to listen in the browser or download direct. More info after the jump...
