Episode 88 – Travel Besties May 16, 2016

Show notes

Dave was traveling and CCGesus had a busy weekend so we’ve got a pinch-hitter this show. Friend of GFB, Kelly Wallick (@kellywallick) steps in with an energy not often seen from the remote chair of Team GFB Radio. This is a #CertifiedBanger.

Kelly and Dave discuss travel, both fake and factual Chemistry, The Witcher III, and Kelly’s experiences working on the event-side of the game’s industry. Dave also rips into Boulder, CO for no good reason other than he’s a real asshole.

Episode 87 – For All The Moms Out There May 09, 2016

Show notes

Yo, I hear you’re in the market for bespoke, hand-crafted show notes.

(You nod, weakly)

We got you. We got you. Just go down this alley.

(You don’t move forward, and make eye contact with original speaker)

Homie, we got you. Just go down there, it’s all good.

(With that weak endorsement in hand you shuffle off, fate firmly in hand)

(You get to the end of the alley, there’s a dude in a tuxedo with a flower in his jacket)

(You approach)

(You are now close)

(Water bursts from the guy’s flower and hits you in the face)

For reasons that aren’t clear you crane your neck to the heavens, steel your will, and shout “Happy Mother’s Day, Trick!”

Episode 86 – The PAX East After Party May 02, 2016

Show notes

It’s a good, old-timey, GFB Radio show where Darryl and Dave are back on Skype where they belong!

Darryl starts off with a story of home improvement gone awry, and a tale of Dutch shipping heroics the likes of which you have never heard.

Dave jumps into an (unintentionally long) story about parenting woes, and the day-in day-out rigors of raising kids who have no problem lying to your face.

Then, finally, like a beam of light setting an otherwise bleak landscape ablaze, the guys recap PAX. Booth setup promlems? #GOTEM. PAXAMANIA stories? #GOTEM? Let’s Rank It and meet-up recap? Yeah, son, you know we got those for days.

Team GFB Radio – Episode 86 – The PAX East After Party

Original Air Date: May 2nd, 2016

2:45 – Darryl story time! He goes full Bob Villa, and NO ONE should go full Bob Villa.

16:50 – Dave story time! He goes full crummy Dad! Dave goes over home schooling, and punishing children who lie to your face.

33:10 – Okay, enough of that personal garbage! Onto PAX stories. Dave gets it rolling with some booth set-up woes, predictably, roll into Unfortunately Timed Drinking.

45:15 – PAX proper begins, and Dave details some cool stuff they did at the booth, PAXAMANIA shenanigans, and random accounts of how Saturday nights up and done got off the rails.

58:10 – The guys talk about the Let’s Rank It! panel, which we both feel was a rousing success (even with all the Rookie of the Year and Windjammers talk. Still a good time), and get into the GFB meet-up (which totally ruled!) Thanks to all the CCGs that came out for the panel and the meet-up.

Episode 84 – PAX BOUND! Apr 18, 2016

Show notes

It’s a Lang-only, email- heavy show this week so if that’s not your cup of tea…too late, Trick, you already downloaded it! Thanks and sorry not sorry.

If you’re hitting up PAX East in a few days definitely listen to the beginning of this show as Lang goes over all GFB-related dealings at PAX East.

Aside from that lots of emails get answered. Some are good, some aren’t, and one is genuinely regrettable. Which ones are which? Who can say.

Actually, and this is a technicality, really, you could say. You just need to listen to this episode.

Episode 83 – The Best Day Of The Internet Apr 11, 2016

Show notes

Hey, you! Yes, you! The one person who gives a fuck about these bespoke, hand-crafted show notes! I would have much preferred to go to bed, but instead stayed up to get this done for you. Hope you enjoy it.

Hey! Where are you going? You barely glanced over here…no way you read all these Show Notes.

Wow. So that’s how it is? You treating me like I’m a fucking ghost now? Like I’m not even here?

*Three Hours Pass*

Okay, listen, I get it. I made that weird. I got way too tight about the show notes.

It’s just that after the last couple weeks I thought you cared.

*Two more hours pass*

It’s just that…

I don’t….

*Yet two more hours pass*

I don’t know what to think anymore

*An hour goes by*

*You get a text message from a number you don’t recognize*

What are you wearing?

Episode 80 – CCGesus Mar 21, 2016

Show notes

It’s a solo show for Lang, as he failed to do any interviews whilst at GDC. He answered a bunch of emails, read some iTunes reviews, and in general did his best not to make a mockery of the Platform of Excellence that has been established for the show. This is validated with some iTunes reviews, including one that dubbed Darryl Wisner as CCGesus, a.k.a. the greatest nickname of all time (which up until now belonged to Dominique Wilkins, a.k.a. the Human Highlight Reel and Dave’s college acquaintance Big Breakfast).

Team GFB Radio – Episode 80 – CCGesus

25:15 – Ian’s email makes Dave discuss Count Chocula, Booberies, and video game art portfolios.

34:30 – Ron from Ashburn asks about the differences between regular development jobs and video game dev jobs.

41:45 – Dan from Boston asks for more Vegas tips. Dress up at all times.

43:30 – Matt in Japan wants to know if GFB is gender-neutral. Dave isn’t sure, he’s still figuring it out himself, tbh.

48:00 – Dave reads some iTunes reviews, including one with the best Nickname of all time in it (CCGesus).

Episode 79 – How Are Your Rock Features? Mar 14, 2016

Show notes

Dave is in Orlando and this podcast was recorded at Casa de Wisner. It’s an email heavy show, but Darryl does talk about some shenanigans he saw off of Orange Ave. while walking to work one day, and we’re all worse for hearing that story.

Then the guys start to work through the email backlog. I won’t bore you with all the details, but the guys touch on lots of different topics: Genital dreads, software unit tests, RUN GFB, Dave being way too drunk at the Giant Bomb PAX Prime party, etc. you get the gist of it.

Team GFB Radio – Episode 79 – How Are Your Rock Features?

Original Air Date: March 11th, 2016

4:00 – Dave gets Darryl caught up on last week’s show that he wasn’t on.

8:30 – Darryl was put in a tough spot in the mean Orlando streets…and, predictably, he came up weak.

22:25 – Gary wants to know if we had anything to do with TNA Impact! (no we, didn’t, not really).

26:00 – Friend of the Show Chris from Wyoming writes in with an Important email! Turns out he didn’t actually want to know anything, but Dave goes on a RUN GFB rant regardless.

27:25 – Michael McBreen wants to know if we use Unit Tests. Nope, they don’t make sense for Game Development so that ill-considered response pretty much makes it a fact.

34:15 – David from Montreal wants to know if we’ve ever encountered any weird driver/compiler bugs. Oddly enough, yes, and they made us men.

45:10 – Someone wanted to remain anonymous, so I reverse traced his IP and found out it was actually PRESIDENT OBAMA I SHIT YOU NOT.

47:15 – Aaron writes in with some corrections from when we talked about the upcoming Star Wars attractions at Disney.

50:15 – Ben writes in to make fun of Dave, and in true indie-dev form, comes up short. Feel free to try again Ben.
