Palladium puts out pretty broken RPGs in hindsight, but like any RPG the rules are just a basis for telling stories, and we basically just picked the biggest, most explody weapons and just made up adventures where we cruised the wastelands looking for Zentradi to blow up. Pretty fun, even if I realized the system itself wasn't so hot :) The mech profiles were great, too. You watch much of the TV show? That blew my mind back then, no parachuting at the last second allowed :) I played this game A LOT.

I'd kill to see Rutgers there one day. This year has not been that year that I dream of. Oh well maybe next season. At least you guys get ranked and had an SI cover.

Not that you left the company, but because command prompt just isn't the same without you. I heard your appearance on mobcast, but I just wanted to ask if you will update your blog when you're taking up a new job in the gaming industry so I can listen to your passionate ramblings once again... ;-) If you ever want to create some independent worldwide gaming podcast (I've got some ideas), I'm all game. Anyway, good luck with your next endeavor, whatever that may be. Best regards, Jelle Hey Jason,

I was pleasantly surprised to here your voice, as I have enjoyed listing to the IGN PC podcast for quite a while, and was shocked when you and the lady left(forced or not). Good luck and I will be checking in on your blog occasionally. Could you please post links to podcasts or articles you might be involved in. Thanks for your time. IGN is not the same anymore.

I came home and tried to explain what I saw to my roommate what that little creature looked like and I sounded like a crazy person. So I decided to google it...and came up on your posting. I described it as a "weird red/ lobster/ crawfish/ scorpion" thing that was crawling away from the water. It got freaked out by my dog so it rocked back on its tail and also raised its pincers in the air. so Wow...thank you for letting me know I am not crazy.

What a beautiful campus. Definitely considering transferring (defecting) from WSU for next year. Just took a trip to Seattle to see the Jaguars play the Seahawks and got to tour UW.

While listening I found myself very intrigued by the topics this week. That’s mostly due to the fact that real time strategy games are of special interest to me. I’m a big fan of the genera and it’s nice to see someone else mirror my sentiments with regards to Company of Heroes. I greatly enjoyed the discussion you, Dan and the other guys had on the topic. But you know, I really do love that Company of Heroes. I mean, I like it so much I decided to make tutorial videos to teach people who to really play. It’s funny, I never expected them to become as popular as they have and to date I’ve got about 280 subscribers on YouTube. Regardless, I think it would be cool to play a match or two with you. Also on a side note, I run a gaming podcast too and I’m currently looking for guests to come on. Just saying, would be cool if you could swing one of our Sunday recordings in the next few weeks. Consider that an open invitation, cash it in at your leisure. Have a good one. Karl William Rosner Hey Jason, I heard about you from the Mob Cast.
