One of Swords Podcast 184: Shiny and Happy




One Of Swords show

Summary: The entire staff of Turtle Sandbox Games -- yes, both programmer Pete Angstadt AND artist Theresa Duringer -- join me to help put a bow on the sweet success story that is the 2D action/RTS Cannon Brawl. After Pete won Activision's Independent Games Competition in 2011, he was able to build the game of his dreams -- and this week, that dream goes on sale on Steam. We talk about the road to release, Steam's Greenlight program, and if they're really ready to be rich and/or famous. Kat and Hugh join in to discuss things like the upcoming COD Ghosts multiplayer reveal, how not to play pinball, Deadpool DLC, Conker's Bad Fur Day, the stock market, irrational Thumpback love, Black Ops II DLC, Amish children, mandatory Metallica, Roger Rabbit retrospectives, and Meat Loaf's relationship with Jim Steinman.
