One of Swords Podcast 104: Losers Weepers




One Of Swords show

Summary: The incredible I-Wei Huang joins me to discuss not only his work in creating all the Skylanders characters -- from sketch to sculpt to finished toy on the shelves -- but also his fascinating other creations, such as steam-powered R/C cars. Then Hugh has a big reveal to cap off a conversation that includes Prototype 2 comics, a lost score, MW3's NPD dominance, schoolyard rules, Deadpool, Conker's Bad Fur Day, the Black Eyed Peas, and how to pronounce "lycanthropy." (It's "lahy-KAN-thruh-pee.")
