    This time, we take a look at Legacy games, and the ways players modify them in order to be less like a legacy game. But is something lost in the translation?

    Julie shares more news about her new position, after which we discuss the finer points of Hype. How does one manage excitement about a product when it's not necessarily playable yet?
