    Another alternative to Gnomon is Massive Black’s dvds/downloads. Like Gnomon, all are done by industry professionals (Massive Black worked on Hellgate London and Killzone 2 amongst other games), but the download section can be cheaper to purchase from than the Gnomon DVDs, especially for those who are outside the US and need to pay shipping

    Thanks for the tip Dave.

    It would be a good idea to open the panel to live callers. You can post the topic before production and have a discussion and among the questions raised then start your podcast. You will then find that you will all have more to expand upon.

  4. PG Muzza

    “…This is the end my Friend!” as a famous singer sang it I suppose or maybe I am wrong, who knows.

    Here lies an abandoned podcast , that was taken in its prime. Once full of such promise and potential. Now removed from our bookmarks & unfollowed from our twitter. Now lies here in the hallowed cryptic corner of the forgotten internet.

    Rest In Peace.

  17. PG Dickie

    Made me a liitle sad there Nick. Thankfully, this isn’t due to lack of content (new episodes have been recorded). Look for the phoenix to return triumphantly in the near future.

    Thanks again for listening and being patient with us.

  18. PG Cait

    Hmmm…is there a reason why the new material hasn’t been published?

    I check for new podcasts a couple times a week when I’m about to go for a dog walk or take a break from work, and it makes me sad to discover there isn’t a new one. Sigh.

    This podcast is so much better than anything else out there….please post a new episode soon!!!!

  19. PG Dickie

    If you had only asked sooner Cait! Here’s the newest episode.
