Gaming Podcast 215: Hiatus

Due to a familial emergency, TD Gaming Podcast is on temporary hiatus. This week is basically an outtake episode, though a bit short because for the last three months or so, the podcast has been pretty clean. However, there are some interesting conversations that you never got to hear.

There’s even an entire news item back from CES that was completely cut, and now you get to hear ten weeks later. Old news is so much fun!

Thanks for your patience, and we’ll have some new podcasts in a few weeks, we promise.

  3. Dude, don’t apologize, family comes first. All the best for you guys.

    :)) HD porn? Man, we ARE missing out on the good stuff …

    @Microsoft Introduces Avatar Kinect:
    I’ with Derrick on this one: a webcam is far better when it comes to video phone/conference/podcast.

    It could be however something that re-invents role playing. I can see MMOs taking advantage of that: when you get back to your guild HQ, your character now acts as an avatar. Having meetings about how to do a raid, and what strategy to use, etc., I can see THAT kind of meeting benefiting from Kinect Avatar.
