It must be another week as there’s a new episode of the Van Hemlock podcast up. This week we have a very special guest. Well we have a guest. Well Matt from Limited Edition joins us. You can find the show at virginworlds, but if your oppressive internet regime doesn’t let you see that you can also listen to it here. But listen to it there if you can. And then go listen to the rest of the shows hosted there as they’re all good. Especially Limited Edition.
Time for the Melvyn Bragg style after show commentary.
We don’t have guests on the show very often, but when we do we like to chose people who will go on to positions of power in the games industry. Michael Zenke was a good guest for that reason as he’s now a designer on DC Universe Online. As Matt has just finished a game programming related degree I have high hopes that we can abuse him as a contact in the future. It helps that he’s actually played every single MMO released as he managed to throw in some interesting information along the way. He’s also very low maintenance edit wise, despite the rumours.
I did end up editing out a rather ranty Darkfall rant from the show where I called out Aventurine on their management decisions for Darkfall. Only they then went and were really annoying by addressed every point just as we recorded so I decided to drop it. I’ll save it for the DVD extras when we do the box set in a few years time.
