One of Swords Podcast 115: Mr. Overdrive




One Of Swords show

Summary: Canada's second greatest drummer Dave Fracchia -- who moonlights as the studio VP for Prototype 2 developers Radical Entertainment -- joins me this week to discuss the last days of P2, what the studio plans to do if the game is a hit, and even what they plan to do if it isn't. Then we talk about music for, like, half an hour. Also, Hollywood called for Hugh again this week, and while we miss him, hey, that's awesome for his career! While he's taking care of business, Kat and I bring clanmate and comedian WillyFresh992 into the fray to discuss the impending PAX East convention, the new Skylanders iOS game, the paranoia and hatred of April Fool's Day, what you might find in your next bag of Fritos, internal strife on Clan [1oS], cheap copies of Blur, Activision's founding fathers, and how Toys For Bob has your back on your Skylanders' secret codes. Also, there is some revenge in here somewhere...
