Gamers With Jobs Radio Episode Seven
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Interview, Civilization 4 Impressions, Bioware/Pandemic Merger and more!
Welcome to Gamers With Jobs Radio, the video gaming podcast for people who hate podcasts. This week we interview Bethesda about their upcoming (recently delayed) RPG, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, review Civ 4 multiplayer and discuss the pending merger of two of the hottest video game developers around, Bioware and Pandemic. Plus a whole lot more. Put on your headphones and turn out the lights. It only feels dirty for a minute.

Cool discussions on the rest of the stuff, though I'm one of the four people on the planet who seems to not be excited about Oblivion.
Cool that you guys got yourselves an interview though

Wow a real interview. Now you can't let us down in future episodes by not having one.
Great job again guys. Keep the news coming.

Interesting, although short as it was, the interview with Bethesda was excellent. Other than that, you guys sounded as if you just woken up in the middle of the night to do the show. None the less it was pretty good.

That was probably the most interesting interview I'd heard or read in a very long time. Great questions, and none of that fluffy "What's you're favorite game, you're so dreamy!" crap.

Well, according to the Farmer's Almanach, it is indeed already well into hibernation period for Certist up in his Great White North region.

Interesting observation, Fletcher actually improved the recording quality a great deal this week and I think it was one of the earliest shows we've done in a while. Veeery interesting.
It is always night here in the winter, why has thou forsaken me Mr.Sun?!
Yeah, it's scary. I'm staring into the abyss right now, and it's staring into me, which I think is kind of a dick move on the abyss's part. - Nyles
Heads up, folks. Blue's and the Shack have posted links, so expect traffic.

And Certis, before you start saying I'm out of my mind (not saying that you're wrong), get the quote semi-correct:
"Diamond in the rough" was a term I heard thrown around in describing it. But, that said, if you buy it, expect what you're going to get: 70% of a game that at the moment would rank (oddly enough) 70% on a GameSpot scorecard or 3.5 stars.

Thanks alot for wrecking my diet with all the food references, you bastards!

Seriously though, another great show, and the Bethesda interview was a really nice touch. Well done fellas. Any chance we can expect more of those in the future?
Now if you will excuse me, I'm off to the cafeteria to get some doughnuts.

Good job. The interview was well worth the listen. Great to hear well thought out questions durring the interview.
The voices say hello.
There's always the option of doing Employee Profiles by radio as well. That could be...interesting? I'll go with 'interesting.'

I am looking forward for more high-profile devs being shaken down for exclusive interviews!!
(although getting people to sit down with Fletch (even virtually) after his ball-shaving manifestos may be an issue)

I didn't have any intentions to ever listen to the podcast, but I'm glad I did cause I really enjoyed it. Xplay better watch out if you ever start doing a tv show. Anyway the reason I decided to listen was cause my g/f gave me a chore to do. She wanted me to weed eat her weeds but instead I decided to buy round up and kill it all! So I was going to be outside for a while and my ipod was empty. Figured what the heck how bad can it be, and to my surprise it wasn't.
I see some very potent Out-of-Context Theater material here.

This episode of GWJ Radio was like a warm, flaky, sweet and crunchy baklava.
Good stuff on the podcast. The music still suddenly booms over my car speakers but the output level between Certis and Fletch seems to be even.
"Fine. Take her out to lunch and then at an opportune lull in the conversation poke your finger directly in her anus. Chances are she'll leave you alone after that. If not, hey buttsex!" - ColdForged, on how to turn women away and/or get buttsex
Good stuff. Can you guys get John Romero in for some "tough" questions?

Oddly enough, Fletch's voice dropped off considerably during the interview. Maybe he's just quieter when he's being polite.

Nice job on sneaking that Fallout 3 question in, but it would have been nice if you ask him what kind of copy protection they were going to use and if it'll hate half the people who buy it. But all in all good stuff, keep it comin.

Well done! The pastry theme was Kojima-licious.

While I agree with your post..
Don't get me wrong here.. really don't. Your avatar pic, while awesome, could potentially raise some eyebrows at people's workplaces, given the name of the site and all.

I'm sorry, did you say something. My eyes keep wandering to the left.
Braehole, no offense, but I think your avatar's rather off-putting. If I wanted to look at scantily-clad women, there are other places I could go besides a gaming forum. Women do frequent this site too, you know. I wouldn't put a picture of a hot guy in ill-fitting boxers as my avatar, because it would make alot of people here feel uncomfortable, you know? Although now that I think about it, perhaps it is time for a Zapp Brannigan avatar
But you're totally right about the radio show being great. It was. I especially liked the dessert metaphors. Made me desperate for a macaroon.
