e092: Our Pixels are Twisted, An Interview with Josh Bear
Modeps and Kragg sit down for a fireside chat with Josh Bear, Chief Creative Officer and co-founder of Twisted Pixel. Josh answers the community’s questions about Comic Jumper, Twisted Pixel’s development process, and a little bit about what the future holds for them. We also get all “after school special” and talk about the importance of being yourself, never settling for mediocrity, and making sexist jokes.
All this and some hardcore Forest Whitaker references, on a very special episode…of Shotgun.

e091: Top of the Blogosphere!
Hey everybody, this week it’s a two-host throw down with Modeps and Kragg. Pwnophobia was too busy training by running through the snow and chopping wood to be here tonight. This week we talk about bugs, and not the kind in a motel bathroom either. We’re talkin’ about the kind that spoil the sixty dollar game you just bought. Kragg gives impressions on Fallout: New Vegas, and why you should keep a flyswatter handy when you play it. Then Modeps talks about DJ Hero 2 and a mysterious issue that seemed to crop up along with the 1′s and 2′s. This begs the burning question “what is worse? A game releasing on time with bugs to be patched later, or delaying to squash the little buggers beforehand?” Modeps also gives us a crash course in God of War: Ghosts of Sparta, and we announce the winners of the Twitter giveaway for Amnesia: Dark Descent! All that and another huge round of weekly releases on this episode of Shotgun!

e090: It’s Crafty
Ahoy Shells! (That’s what we’re calling you now?!) Apparently…because on tonight’s show Adam announces the winners of our L4D2 “The Sacrifice” giveaway. He also spins us a yarn about his mystical journey with Der Auslander to Season’s Beatings, and how there IS such a thing as too much Street Fighter. Speaking of yarn, Jim previews Kirby’s Epic Yarn. Spoiler alert: Kirby is adorable. We also announce our Halloween giveaway with Frictional Games! They want to hook you up with a free copy of Amnesia: Dark Descent, and we let you know how you can win. Kragg also gives his final words, and lots of them, on Castlevania Lords of Shadow. 3 out of 5 is a good score people! All that and an absolute TON of weekly releases on this weeks Shotgun!”
