  1. Hey guys, It’s me again. yesterday was my birthday and I got Command & Conquer 3 for the Xbox 360, and a lot of other stuff, but, This leads to the question, what is your favorite RTS out there for any console including the PC? For me it would be C&C 3, not because I just got it, but because it’s a well developed game that balances each faction (The different races in the game).
    Thanks guys, I love your podcast!

  2. Hey!

    First time listener and I must say your cast rocks! Keep up the good work!

    As an indie developer I see no problem in pre-owned games. If a game has good replayability and is worth playing over and over you keep it, if it is more or less a one time thing… well…

    I guess it is up to developers to make games that are enjoyable multiple times and/or keep their games alive if they don’t want gamers to sell their games.

    I have bougt pre-owned games to my gamecube. I have never sold a game…
