GI Show 189: Broken Age, Trivia Challenge, YouTube/Machinima Controversy
On this week's episode, we talk about Double Fine's long-awaited Kickstarted adventure Broken Age, discuss the current YouTube controversy, and play Back of the Box Trivia.
First up, Ben Hanson, Ben Reeves, and Kyle Hilliard join Matt Helgeson to discuss Broken Age. We talk about the game's quality, development delays, and the fascinating documentary that's chronicled the entire project.
In the second segment, we bring back Back of the Box Trivia, hosted by mastermind Ben Hanson. Matt, Tim Turi, Dan Ryckert, and Kyle engage in tense trivia combat.
Finally, GI news editor Michael Futter joins us via phone from his New Jersey lair, to discuss the controversy over Microsoft and EA possibly paying YouTube game personalities to mention their products favorably.
