One of Swords Podcast 127: It’s Like Monkeys




One Of Swords show

Summary: This week, we meet the winners of the 2012 Activision Independent Games Competition -- Chris Hui and Michael Stanton, who shared the $250,000 prize pool. We talk about what they've created, what they're going to do with all that money, and what took so damn long for them to be crowned the winners in the first place. The rest of the show is the usual nonsense with Kat and Hugh, barking about The Amazing Spider-Man, Transformers syntax, Skylanders e-books, Q from Star Trek: TNG, Atari history, Wreck-It Ralph, NASCAR drivers, Megan Fox's thumb, Crazy Climber, and fighting on the moon. Also, live kittens. Get the podcast on iTunes Get the podcast on Zune Marketplace Get the podcast on your own with RSS Feedburner Or use the links below to listen in the browser or download direct.
