After recuperating from PAX East, David and Robert return to
your regularly scheduled ARGcast... but not without a special
guest! We welcome film director Rob McCallum who has previously
created the video game documentary Nintendo Quest, and is
currently working on other subject manners in the documentary genre
such as He-Man and heavy metal music. Now he is looking to
fund his next gaming documentary on video game box
art, aptly named Box Art: A Gaming Documentary. Join
us as we chat all about this next venture, as well as dive deep
into video game movies past, present, and future. We then wrap
things up with a discussion on Doom creators John Romero
and Adrian Carmack looking to make a whole new first person shooter
the only way they know how.
We also welcome some awesome retro titles to the Stage of
History, such as the unapologetically gory Splatterhouse,
the debut of a certain pink puffball in Kirby's Dream
Land, and point-and-click classic Full Throttle.
There's more gaming goodness, however, with some game giveaways.
Keep listening for a chance to win those!
