A podcast about games and the games industry from two long-time game industry veterans. We'll talk about what's new in games, a topic about the industry, and what we're playing recently.

Also, additional discussion about what we are collectively losing with increased reliance on contractors and external teams, and Bitreactor and Microsoft in the news again!
