200th show. With Ken Levine. and a Rabbit interview...

AND new Bioshock stuff? Dear god.

I can't wait until more info starts rolling out. I loved how Rapture condemned Randian ideals (with the city being crushed by immense pressure). Columbia seems to be taking the idea of the "City on a Hill" to its extreme, calling up parallels to the space race's nationalistic goals.

I wonder if it will also serve as a critique to current politics.

What an awesome world.

YES.

It was Rabbit's piece on the original Bioshock that first brought me to GWJ. I'm anxiously awaiting listening to them talk about Bioshock Infinite (I hope there are no spoilers. I never played Bioshock despite buying it... twice)

My God we were completely smashed when we recorded this.

Awesome! I got my wish! (see comments for episode 194)

For Episode 250, I want a review of Mechwarrior, an interview on Descent 4 and comments on Ubisofts plan to abandon DRM in favor of a general free-to-play model. Please?

So this is why you guys held up the podcast until this afternoon.

Elk Hunt!

Edit: Dear God, TheWanderer's voice almost sounds exactly like mine.

Please keep up this boozing and gaming life style for another two or three years. I'll have a Masters degree then and hopefully enough of a steady income to come over there. Because I want be there!

Congrats on 200 episodes! 800 more and you get to be tagged.

The thought of Lara drinking scotch from the bottle curdled my taste buds.

You mention board games on Surface, and I'm interested in this: how exactly would a game like BSG work? It's critical that each player's cards remain secret for this game to function at all - is there any facility for that? Does it sync up to your phone or something to display private information only to the user?

Many, if not most, non-trivial board games rely on some degree of secrecy, so I'm interested in how this would be handled.

You cards appear face down, then there is a little cardboard shield you can put in front of the cards which the Surface detects and displays your cards face up. Since the shield is in place, the other players can't see it. Seemed to work pretty neat.

Haven't listened yet, but I can't wait for the part when ashton kutcher jumps out from behind the "Irrational Games" sign and tells us all we're being Punk'd about Bioshock Infinite.

Why isn't the show just he Levine interview? If half is 20 minutes, then the whole thing is 40? Come on guys.

I get the feeling from the interview so far that either there is going to be some surprising connection between Bioshock and this game that he is trying not to spoil until we play the game or its just a marketing ploy. Stick the Bioshock logo on the game and it might sell more.
