Geoff and Cat give their impressions of PAX Prime 2011 and talk about some of their favorite games from the show! Your music this week is "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince from the Greatest Hits Album.
Thanks to a very engaging question in a group I'm a member of on LinkedIn, spawned today's Soapbox podcast/rant thing. The question asked is "Do you think press badges should be reserved for larger outlets with an established following?"

The barrier to entry for independent game development is often cited as being extremely low, but with the ease of entry also comes the ability to fail just as easily. On a Saturday afternoon at PAX‘s Wolfman theater, Fire Chief of Fire Hose Games, Eitan Glinert, hosted a panel of budding independent game developers. Throughout the duration of this 60 minute meeting, panelists cited examples of some of the best and worst practices in the business.
GR: "We're hotly anticipating the fourth entry in the Assassin's Creed series from Ubisoft, and I can't help but spoil the ending of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood for everyone I meet. What the hell is wrong with me?
No.
What the hell is wrong with you? Why haven't you finished the excellent continuation of Ezio's story? You'd better hurry because Revelations is about ready to wrap up the loose ends left behind by the Auditore clan. At PAX, Alexandre Amancio walked us through the Gamescom demo of the game. He dispatched guards by planting bombs on dead bodies, by throwing bombs directly at would-be pursuers, and by lobbing bombs like grenades."
I should probably actually play AC, shouldn't I? It honestly never appealed to me, but I've heard amazing things. lol
Thanks again for having me, Geoff - and for bringing the mountain to me for recording!
