I got together with Josh and Mumbles on Sunday morning and we talked about what they saw at PAX on Saturday. <\/p>\n

Note that we recorded this show with the intention that it would be an audio offering. But then we found out that video services are – for whatever reason – less of a headache then audio hosting services. So we decided to record audio and put it up as video. I mean, we can just stick a screenshot in there or something, right? Then I got the bright idea of spicing it up with photographs from the show. Then I realized that I had ten photos and forty five minutes of audio to cover, and the photos weren’t even related to the games we were discussing. So then I figured I’d just grab some trailers to fill the time.<\/p>\n

Seven hours later I had this big presentation thing. And I’m still not happy with it. <\/p>\n

There is some sort of equilibrium at work here. Josh and Mumbles saved me a few hours by making all this content, and my workload immediately expanded to fill the void. <\/p>\n

Hello, person from the future. This space used to have an embed from the video hosting site Viddler. The video is gone now. If you want to find out why and laugh at Viddler in the process, you can read the entire silly story for yourself<\/a>.At any rate, the video is gone. Sorry. On the upside, we're gradually re-posting these old videos to YouTube. Check the Spoiler Warning page<\/a> to see the full index.<\/div><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n

It’s important to note that I didn’t make any effort to line the video up with what was being said. However, some of the on-screen visuals during the Tera discussion were really unfortunate. Once I realized this, it seemed like it would be cheating to fix this by rearranging the footage. So, yes. Very much aware of the ironic visuals during that discussion.<\/p>\n

Having said that, I think I’m more excited about Tera than any of the other stuff we covered. I’ve been anxious for a more action-flavored MMO for a long time. And it looks fantastic. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
