Looks like some Journalists from Australia and New Zealand had enough of that, and they're planning to discuss the topic in a panel at PAX AUS. Unfortunately not everyone thinks they should be allowed to.

We may be down a couple of hosts this time around, sure, but at least we were able to drag two guests into the madness to make up for that. Joining us this episode are last week's Raven and newcomer Bizarre Monkey. So let's all make 'em feel at home! *applause* In any case, our two guests, as well as myself (Jordan), are actually game developers, so this episode is all about game development. Following our discussion about what games we're currently playing, we give advice to beginner/aspiring game devs, talk about our ideal recipes for good games, discuss the difference between a good game and a successful game, talk about the pros and cons of both big (AAA, etc.) game devs and indies, answer a couple of questions asked by members of our humble community, and Khorne shares a bit about his country in New Zealand Khorner.
