We ran a little long again this week. But this time… we’re not sorry! Because it’s high quality stuff man.

Distractions as usual. Jason got a chance to download the XNA community launcher on Live and he tells us a little about the games on there. Geoff is still playing Lost Odyssey. And Chris continues his bitching about Assassin’s Creed.

News with lots of GDC info included. Then a Dear X from our special guest. We have a round table about PSN and XBox Live which has some good info.

Finish it off with New Releases and some Emails and you have episode 14!
Enjoy.

We ran a little long this week. Sorry.
Doesn’t help that Jason and Chris are getting over being sick. So hopefully you guys will bear with us.

Anyway, more distractions. We all have Devil May Cry 4 now and Jason’s actually beaten it already. Geoff went out and got Lost Odyssey and talks about it a lot. While Chris insists on revisiting Assassin’s Creed for some odd reason.

News as usual. Our quick thoughts on January’s NPDs. Then on to the stories. And we have some good ones. I hope you guys enjoy them.

Finish it off with New Releases and some Email/Voicemail and you have lucky number 13!

Man was this an odd episode. You would think that we were all in a room full of laughing gas.

Anyway, we still fought our way through it and there’s some good stuff lined up for you guys. We start out with a little bit of a shout out to 1up. Followed by this weeks distractions as usual. Geoff and Jason talk about their initial impressions of Devil May Cry 4. Then on to news.

Geoff lets the publishers of crappy “collectors’” editions know how he feels. Then we talk about casual gaming and if it’s on an upswing. And will it have an effect on hardcore gaming and gaming as a whole?

Follow that up with New Releases (the Balloon Pop edition) and listener email, and you have yourself Episode 12.

Enjoy responsibly.

So we’re a day late. Sorry. But we did record on Sunday this week. And Sunday was Super Bowl Sunday. Come on, give us a break. I mean, we do have a good show lined up. And we did have special guest Andrew Rudson who is the creator of the “Drum Machine” application for your PC which will lets you play your Rock Band Drums on your PC. Not to mention he’s a developer for Pseudo Interactive and worked on Full Auto 2 for PS3.

Then it’s on to our “feature” which just basically turns into a round table discussion about how games define consoles, and vice versa. Follow that up with the new releases, emails and the new question of the week, and you have episode 11 of the Interactive Distractions podcast.
