Explicit009: Waves Waves Waves (featuring Inge Berman) | Game artist Inge Berman from S1T2 surfs into our special Global Game Jam episode, using this year's theme of 'waves' to buoy our imaginations! The result is wet and foamy, as we invent a VR game starring a dendrophobic lumberjack (with a sweet double axe attack), a meditation game using Nintendo's Wii Fiit Board and Viiitality sensor, and we reinvent Inge's game Kept as a stationery hoarding game with a gnomish protagonist.

Explicit007: Teen Angst Food Fight (featuring Emre Deniz) | Game designer Emre Deniz joins us this week, and the result was slightly disturbing. Themes of darkness dominated, with flickering candles and the setting sun giving way to the horrors that lie in the absence of light. Plus, parties! Food fights and drug filled benders, with messes to be made and cleaned up. Everything is fun in VR!

Win!
5 stars, two thumbs up and a round of applause.
Brilliant work gents. Great work.
Geniunely unique content!
I love these guys in particular for how unique the content of this podcast is. There are heaps of podcasts out there that sound the same but you always get something different when these guys drop their weekly. The concept is awesome, fun game to play along with as they do!!
Game Studios take note
Great ideas off the top of the dome. A few special guests here and there spice things up too. Loving the zany ideas coming out of Bitstorm.
