Aeropodcast #45: Fourhman’s Ode to the 70’s

By Joe Haygood | August 18, 2008

Stephen, Joe and Fourhman are together again for a festivus of games, news and even some 70’s goodness.

Our focus this week is on developers getting a bit sensitive, or maybe reviewers being a little to cynical when it comes to their games, and the criticism they may receive.  Our targets for the segment are Denis Dyack invading NeoGAF, Jonathan Blow and his defense over the pricing of Braid, and last is Luc Bernard and his vocal opposition to Destructoid’s review of Eternity’s Child.  Is this a trend for developers to get into the fray and defend their product, or maybe reviewers are becoming more jaded as more shovelware is tossed upon them, looking to be reviewed.  We also ask everyone to visit the show notes and check out the ultimate in developer/press battles, which was Derek Smart vs everyone in defense of Battlecruiser 3000AD.

We also got another great review on iTunes from Pax Rabbit, brought up some great reviews from the site, scathing commentary from the readers, and a nice helping of gaming news.  So get out there and listen already, Dumbass.

Thanks as always to Mixmaster Stephen and his wheels of steel for mixing the podcast this week, and to Revolution Void for our bumper music.  You can find them at www.revolutionvoid.com.
