Episode Supplemental - August 20, 2008

An Interview With Bioware's David Gaider About Dragon Age!

Good news and bad news I'm afraid. The good news is we have an interview with the lead writer of Bioware's upcoming PC RPG, Dragon Age. The bad news is the show we recorded at Gen Con got lost in a flurry of new technology. Rob muttered something about frequencies, chipmunks and not being able to slow down the audio track but I kind of quit paying attention by that point. We'll try and round up the highlights next week.
