GamePolitics Holiday Podcast Now Available!

December 23, 2007

GamePolitics has a special holiday gift for you.

Our 2007 Holiday podcast has just launched and features good cheer from two dozen assorted newsmakers and game media types.

It's been a long time since GamePolitics has released a podcast, but expect it to be a regular feature in 2008.

You can download the Holiday Podcast here (8:34, mp3 format).

Enjoy! ...and, best holiday wishes from the GamePolitics crew.

UPDATE: I've edited in the AWESOME ending supplied by longtime GP correspondent Andrew Eisen, who is a helluva singer in his other life... Bumping this up in coverage to ensure people don't miss AE's great finishing touch.

Perfect size to listen to while you're getting dressed as I'm doing.

Thanks. I wish the sound quality was better, but my sound skillz are a bit rusty and I had that Dec. 25th time crunch looming...

Still, it's fun to hear from everyone who left a greeting.

Wow! S.L.Y. Sounds a lot younger than he looks. Bit of a surprise. Ok, I'll be nice and say Happy Holidays back to him too. I've said my negatives about him in the past, but they aren't as bad as some others, so I'll be nice. But don't think I'm gonna make it a habit! ;)

Dennis,
Have you looked into the "book" mentioned in the messages? Barnes & Noble says it'll be out on Tax Day. From the sounds of it, it seems appropriate to be on one of the most hated days of the year. :P

Happy Holidays to all the GOOD folks on the message AND here at GP!

Great Pod cast. Glad to hear Yee sounding out in it. Too bad John Bruce couldn't be on it wishing a Merry Christmas.

That was sweet. I feel special now...

Dennis, next year we need to have a GP holiday party for charity. Just a thought.

Have a happy New Year and whatever holiday you celebrate to everyone and may next year have awesome games worthy of play.

Awesome.

Nice to see GamerDad's alright. :)

Leland Yee? Sarah Olsen? These jackasses actually bothered to contribute? Amazing.

I know what I want for Christmas; an illuminated Thompson/Yee/Olsen/Libermann/Clinton.

Happy Christmahannukkwanza to all. And to all a good night. :D

Merry Xmas from down under, where we're supposed to be going into summer and it's 12 degrees outside ...

Merry Christmas GP. :)

Aw, my Merry Xmas mesage didn't make the cut, it seems... :(

In the spirit of the season and.. so forth, i'd like to say a few words:

2007 has been one of the greatest years for gaming to date, but not the greatest for goodwill in the industry. Granted, Zelnick did save a woman's life, but that's really about it.

I think we can find it in our hearts, whether they be black, blue, pink, red or yellow, to wish each other a merry christmas and a happy new year.

However, I would also like to take this moment to wish our enemies a Merry Christmas. Why you ask? Because no Christmas should ever have to bear the hate of man upon man, woman upon woman and the like. So, in the spirit of the season, I would like to wish Jack Thompson, Yee, LaRouche, Arnie, the members of the BBFC, Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton and everyone else i've forgotten in my semi-drunken state, a Merry Christmas.

We are enemies again come January 2nd.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Zen: I felt Brutal Legends was a funny & beautiful look at the world of rock from Double Fines point of view. The only parts I wasn't hot for were the RTS bits as it felt forced. Otherwise fantastic.02/12/2012 - 1:34pm

DorthLous: Passed 1.5M$. And I'd also say that Brutal Legend is far from being a bad game. I just think it was a few levels under what people expected from the people working on the project.02/11/2012 - 8:25am

Technogeek: Brutal Legend wasn't bad so much as "marketing had no idea how the game actually played", causing it to suffer accordingly.02/10/2012 - 10:38pm

Guamish: I think it is in good hands. Tim did a game for the GDC award show and that was fun for how short it was.02/10/2012 - 12:22pm

Andrew Eisen: It'll be tragic if the game ultimately sucks.02/10/2012 - 12:17pm
