I do not technically remember what it is we spoke about on this week’s Game|Life Podcast. Even listening to it now, I can’t be sure. I know this: Wired managing editor Marty Cortinas was sick and couldn’t make it to this week’s podcast, and apparently he was the backbone of the group because we kind of collapsed into incoherence without him.
Here’s basically what happened between myself and Wired senior editors Chris Baker and Peter Rubin:
I note that this weekend is the California Extreme show, a two-day exhibition of the most wonderful arcade games and pinball machines ever. Then I point out the impending excitement of Game Show Night at this year’s PAX Prime.
We discuss the Electronic Arts class-action lawsuit settlement that seems like it will open up NCAA football games to other publishers, then talk about Zynga’s recent financial woes and subsequent drop in share prices.
Baker falls asleep while playing Dyad (above), and he means this as a compliment.
I give the guys some sample questions from an upcoming episode of Good Job, Brain.
Finally: We dip into the Phonebag. Call us or text us at (567) 694-5326 — that’s 56 POW! GL FAN — and you could win a prize from Baker.
