The Joystiq Show - Gamescom 2011 Day 4

by Jonathan Downin on Aug 21st 2011 12:30PM

It's the final day of Gamescom 2011 and that makes this the final podcast from the show, but don't be sad, the guys are going out with ~~style~~ a bang. Harmonix's John Drake and Eric Pope join-in, and their presence means the show has at least 1000% more apple pie talk than it would otherwise.

Gamescom is a unique beast. It is very different from the big conventions held in the US, and there are plenty of anecdotes here that provide a peek into the European games convention experience. For the full picture, also be sure to catch episodes from Day 0, Day 1 and Day 3.

Note: The audio has a few issues, but with lovely and understanding listeners like yourselves, it shouldn't be an issue.

STILL no hand?

man. saw john drake dancing the whole saturday. poor guy.

Best episode ever! I laughed, I cried, I assembled ikea furniture. Can we have Ben & Alexander do PAX? And that Boston show - want.

Awesome

All of these shows have been great. Thanks, Joystiq, for sending Alexander and Ben to cover the show. They both did an excellent job with their coverage!

Wow, seriously guys, these Gamescon shows have been the best, freshest, funniest Joystiq podcasts in a longtime. I didn't think it could get funnier than the old Grin guys, but John and Eric were hilarious.
