Well, here we are again.

As promised here is Part 1 of 2 with my chat with Danny Williams.

Danny, if you dont know was a former modeller at Blue Sky Sudios for over 10 years (currently working at ArenaNet). In this episode we talk about what got him to that point, all the way upto Robots. And being a modeler it was awesome listening to his stories and experiences.

I cannot spend alot of the post waffling because there will be a plethora of links further down with people that have helped Danny along the way and vise-versa. (in chronological order)

We got a big episode here. It had to be split in two (and because I’m really nice I didn’t make you wait a week in-between).

The Oscars are right around the corner. And I wanted to get our predictions before it actually happens. I actually wanted to get our predictions in the last episode that we recorded (that’s the next one to be released) but I forgot and ran out of time.

We talk about the disgraceful CEO that ran off with the IP of his company that is going bust (Link) and then we move onto the CEO of Activision and how he wants his employees to feel like crap (Link). So happy stories this time ’round. But we move onto the main topic of the show.

Which to be honest is too much to summarize and when the Oscars come out and we do another show i will be sure to list our predictions. Really just listen to it, to know what we said.

More shows to come.

Until then… Enjoy

Ho ho ho. No its not Santa Claus or Tiger Woods new interests’. (ughhh, that joke not only feels old already but its just lame… to be honest I just want to see when and if this post will pop-up on Google’s new Realtime search capabilities).

So what’s the deal. Well, I thought as this year is coming to a close I thought it would only be right to keep you updated and what we kinda have planned. Main objective…. More shows. I’ve had a few emails and just a lot of overall interest this year about the show and I really apologize for the lack of show. But listen to this message and you will not only understand why but also have something to look forward to.

So I’m not gonna drag this out, listen to the message have a happy holiday and subscribe so you don’t have to check back.
