Former-gaming-site-turned-podcast Idle Thumbs now has all its GDC content online, ready for your consumption (though maybe you already caught some of it last week).
Firstly there’s s a series of podcasts, starring an ensemble cast of Idle Thumbs contributors/alumni including myself, Gamasutra’s Chris Remo, Shacknews’ Nick Breckon, Telltale Games’ Jake Rodkin, Duncan Fyfe of HitSelfDestruct, Steve Gaynor from 2K Marin and finally Alex Ashby and Lawrence Bishop from indie developer Beatnik Games. If you are interested in hearing a broad range of perspectives on the Game Developers Conference — from both developers and journalists — maybe you’d enjoy listening to our casts.
In addition, Idle Thumbs created an eight-page newsletter containing various articles written by the aforementioned, which we then handed out at the conference. Yeah, we’re actually talking dead tree broadsheet newsletter here. I guess Idle Thumbs always bucks the trend… a website that died and then made a newspaper.
Anyway, the Journal of Games is now also available in digital PDF form for you to view non-exclusively through the Internet. So check it out and maybe you’ll find out what TOTALLY SHOCKED Tim Schafer (see: photo). No guarantees, though.
Hey, my name is Marek Bronstring and I'm Head of Content at Sega. You're looking at my rarely-updated game design blog. I think this sidebar needs some more text so let me tell you what my top favorite animals are: 1) meerkats 2)
Hey Marek, awesome as always seeing you at GDC, and doing the whole newsie/podcaster thing. Looking forward to the next one already.
