It's the final day of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/gamescom-2011/">Gamescom 2011</a> and that makes this the final podcast from the show, but don't be sad, the guys are going out with <strike>style</strike> a bang. <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/Harmonix">Harmonix</a>'s John Drake and Eric Pope join-in, and their presence means the show has at least 1000% more <em>apple pie</em> talk than it would otherwise.<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/17/the-joystiq-show-gamescom-2011-day-0/">Day 0</a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/18/the-joystiq-show-gamescom-2011-day-1/">Day 1</a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/20/the-joystiq-show-gamescom-2011-day-3/">Day 3</a>.<br />
<br />
Note: The audio has a few issues, but with lovely and understanding listeners like yourselves, it shouldn't be an issue.<br />

Day 3 is here, and don't you dare go looking for Day 2 -- seriously, there isn't one. It's a special edition of the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/gamescom-2011/">Gamescom 2011</a> wrap-up with guests from the development and publishing sides of the fence, as the boys are joined by GRiN co-founder Ulf Andersson and ex-creative director Simon Viklund, both currently of Overkill Software, developer of Payday: The Heist, as well as ex-Capcom director of production Adam Boyes, current head of Beefy Media.<br />
<br />
The guys hit the history of GRiN, Ulf and Simon's new studio, Adam's insights into the problems with games publishing, and a host of other rarely discussed issues on the business-end of games. Outside of big reveals and a <em>slew</em> of trailers, inside industry talk is one of the best parts of these big conventions, and we have that covered in spades.<br />

The boys are back for round 2, which is technically day 1. Wrap your head around that! The big announcements may be over, but that just means more time for digging into the games on the show floor of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/gamescom-2011/">Gamescom 2011</a>.<br />
<br />
Joystiq alum, and current <a href="https://member.eu.square-enix.com/en/blogs">Square Enix EU</a> blogmeister, Jem Alexander, sits in on this one. Needless to say, it's pretty <em>amaaaazing</em>.<br />

<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/gamescom-2011/">Gamescom</a> is just officially kicking off, but there has already been a cavalcade of news. As usual, the big press conferences took place before the actual convention festivities began, and Alexander and Ben were on site to deliver the news to your eyes. And now they're here to deliver it to your <em>ears</em>.<br />
<br />
In this late-night conversation, Ben and Alexander are joined by Jonathan Blow, designer of <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/braid"><em>Braid</em></a> and <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/the-witness"><em>The Witness</em></a>.<br />
