Before we start, I wanted to say sorry for the late show.  Due to Extra Life and personal matters, it’s just been too busy for us to get this done in a timely manner.

Also, there was a crash with one of the hosts’ Audacity during the first half.  Because of this we had to switch over to the back up for the first part of the show.  It still sounds ok, but not as good as usual.  But the second half was fine!

So… really quick.  This weeks distractions, followed by the news.

Bryan joins us to talk about Game design and development as a college curriculum.  And he causes us to talk and talk and talk and talk.  Welcome to the new record long InDis.  Sorry. 

An interesting new release list (with LBP still on there ), emails, and a new question of the week.

Better late than never… InDis is finally here.

 InDis - Ep 048 - InDus: It's interesting! [155:23m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1376)

Our title might be out of line, but we’re right back on track!

Jason’s back from his week off, but was only able to cross off ‘more video editing’ on his to-do list.  Geoff’s still gettin’ jiggy with Wipeout HD and Sportball.  Touchdown!  Chris keeps going back to Castle Crashers and Too Human… did any of them play anything NEW this week?  Oh!  I think Little Big Planet qualifies.

Next up, in News, Geoff brings all sorts of it!  Most of it’s even good.  Just ask Chris’ pants.  Or don’t… cause that’d be really creepy.

Aaaaaafter the break, Feature time!  Maybe you guys can help us sort out this multiple SKU business.

The New Releases list has us breaking out the shovels… it’s deep this week.

Aces comes back with some more random questions and lets us know what time it is.

And there you have it!  Another episode of InDis to show off to all your friends!

 InDis - Ep 047 - SKUs Askew [100:07m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (781)

We just like to change things up on you a lot.

This week, Jason is out.  But we’re joined by Glenn AND Mark from PSNation.  (What the hell were we thinking?)

This weeks distractions… including some talk about “sports ball” as Mark would put it.  Wait… Sports game talk on InDis.  What the hell is this world coming too.  Chris can’t seem to stop playing Castle Crashers either!

Then it’s on to News.  After the break, stories, stories and more stories.  We get lots of email talking about when people were embarrassed to admit they were gamers.

New Releases.  A Rebuttal email of sorts (what are we… the Goo?).  Then some announcements about a new Contest, an event we’re planning for in Janauary, and a very important Charity drive we’re taking part of.

Wow… that’s a whole lot of InDis.

 InDis - Ep 046 - InDis Nation Vol 1! [147:22m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (865)

Back to normal this week.

Start off with Distractions from the group.

Then, Geoff is back with NEWS! whoohoo!  No more horrible lack of transitions from Chris!  Wait… really… does anyone really care about the transitions?

Short break, then we have a discussion on whether or not it’s acceptable to release a game and then patch it later.  Not sure how it happened, but along the way, Chris changed his mind about the whole idea.  Probably because he just didn’t want to be left out of the group… yeah… that’s it.

New releases are to follow.

We have a couple of emails to go through, then end it all off with a Question of the Week.

InDis is back bitches!

 InDis - Ep 045 - Patch ya later! [106:03m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (700)

Wow… what an episode this one is!

We miss Geoff, but we have 3, count them, 3 guests!

So… 5 people’s Distractions! Wait… actually… 6! Crazy huh?

A short bit of news… done not nearly as well as Geoff does it.

Short break, followed by some crazy con guy asking a very inappropriate question. Then some Cosplay talk!

We slim down the new release list so it’s only like 2 seconds long, then we move to emails… including randomness… answered by 5… no… 6.

Confused yet? Well this is InDis afterall.
