Podcast 10-5: Prinnies and Pinball

Reader Jeremy LaMont is a co-host? Wow, I want a shot at the fourth chair!

Blue just comes on like a match in a gas can!

Skipped ahead to The Lawman’s talk. Damn, Jeremy fits in like a pro. You really need to keep the guy. He’s prepared and has a good voice.

I’m beginning to think NISA pays you guys per Prinny. Someone must have told Deagle that CPM meant “Collecting Prinny Monies” 😉

Shame on Blue for not supporting indie films. Do you not play indie games?

You should see a few before deciding to only watch Hollywood films. I hope the rest of the crew doesn’t feel that way (besides Sage).

I like the last song. Whats the name of it.

Good show, really liked Jeremy. I would have liked to get in on the SOCOM games but I can’t seem to play it anymore. Everytime I put the disk in it gets caught updating.

So two months after the Vita launch. How did it do and how is it doing?

Here’s my problems:

Not many games on the horizon (I know maybe more at E3)
Some PSP games still don’t work with the system
Still no word on PS1 support (which was mentioned at one point)
Still haven’t got my Super Stardust code after jumping through Sony’s loops (which was a bait-and-Switch on the 3G model)
I still really have no need for 3D.

Since it seems like you guys are taking questions for the next show here mine.

Vox/Verge/Polygon has hired a lot of writers lately and are now at at least ten guys. Assuming they each make $50,000 and have programmers (cause there site looks kinda crappy now), a office, phone bills, etc. It’s not unreasonable to think they will have close to a million a year in expenses. My question is what do you think their business plan is? With IGN and 1Up cutting people, what does this group know what others dont? Can a internet site about video games make enough money to cover it all?
