Best Game Design Podcast Out There
This Podcast is an amazing and informative show, and I have learned so much from it. I have had an idea for a first person shooter video game for over a year now and have recently got a job to pay for a computer so I can make it. Thank you so much Brian and Ike, you guys are so much fun to listen to. I wish you would come back. I hope you guys read this, thank you.
Helpful, Smooth, Fun
Brian and Ike are great hosts, and have great voices for podcasting.
Their talk is full of their experience, and has a good balance between theory and practical tips, in my opinion. Also with a good amount of cheesy silliness to oil the drab parts!
Shame that this podcast is over, but thankful for the episodes we have!
I miss you guys so much...
New episodes please!
