TalkByte 5

This week we're talking about bonus content on discs. If its behind the scenes videos, commentary, or even art galleries were talking about it. I discuss why I think bonus content on movies is great, how video games usually miss the mark, what games do it right, and how we can get better bonus content on discs. Also the Rant of the Week returns, this time talking about the controversial Modern Warfare 2 viral video that's been being talking about. I'll give you a hint, I don't exactly agree with all the hippies out there about this video.

Topic for Episode 6: Tutorials. What games do them right, which screw it up and whats the best way to teach without being annoying.

TalkByte 4

Have you ever wanted to go back and play a classic game you loved and there was no legal way to do so and even if it was illegal it was too complicated to even bother with? That shouldn't be the case. Any game should be accessible generations from now. We have re-releases from VHS to DVD to Blu-ray why not the same with games? That's this week's topic. How to preserve the gaming experiences of today for years to come.

Topic for Episode 5: Game disc extras. Just about every movie DVD has commentary or some behind the scenes I'd like to see the same for games. What would you like to see on your game disc? Write in and be heard.
