Gaming Steve Episode 64 - 12.04.2007
Since I've been gone for a little while I decided to make this show a bit special. Not only do I have a great guest but I have my biggest contest yet where you can win a free next-gen game console! That's right, a brand new console, as well as other great prizes, and all you have to do is listen to the show!
And in celebration of National Dice Day I have a great interview with Christopher Perkins from Wizards of the Coast. Chris and I geek out and talk about Dungeon & Dragons new 4th Edition and it's upcoming transition into the online world. Enjoy the show!

Posted by Jonathan Rosing at December 4, 2007 1:31 PMWhoa! This made my day. Your insight into everything is always much appreciated!
By the way, are the winners determined by the luck of the draw, or do you judge the motivations for why the game was picked?

Posted by Hizzah at December 4, 2007 5:12 PMWoot Woot
Posted by Snapple at December 4, 2007 6:04 PMOh, how about that.
Glad to see you back on the ball, Steve. :D
Posted by Gauphastus at December 4, 2007 6:32 PMWhat an excellent early Chrimbo pressie!
Thanks Steve, Happy Christmas to you and your family.
Posted by Martin T at December 4, 2007 7:15 PM"A little while"? Your last episode was nine months ago, dude! The entirety of the classic film "Junior" could have occurred in the time since then.
Posted by Jason Bourne at December 4, 2007 7:21 PMGreat, great interview. I can't wait for the online tabletop D&D.
Posted by Lany at December 5, 2007 2:57 AMFirst I thought the date was wrong (in Norway we use day/month), and I figured that was the thing here, but wow, a new episode, amazing!
I was so surprised at this that I actually woke my girlfriend up to tell her. She obviously had no idea what I was talking about, but I had to tell someone! :p
Posted by Kenneth Sundby at December 5, 2007 7:01 AMNice to have you back. It's been way too long ;)
Posted by Olly at December 5, 2007 12:44 PMSteve, I loved the interview on D&D 4.0. I'm forwarding the show-link to all my tabletop gaming friends.
Posted by Robb at December 6, 2007 8:21 AMI crud. I stop checking Gaming Steve for 3 days, and then this happens.
Hope this will be the start of regular podcasts.
Posted by DoggySpew at December 6, 2007 12:58 PMA great show as always. Still the best podcast around in my opinion.
Posted by robotplague at December 6, 2007 6:10 PMI don't think Jeff was fired over Kane and Lynch, it was was negative yeah, but it was honest, and after listening to the Hotspot, they have pretty much convinced me that it was coincidental that he was fired after the review. Besides, look at most of the other reviews on other sites, they're really not that great either. 67/100 on metacritic, and mc users gave it a 1.9 out of 10!
Posted by nrg753 at December 7, 2007 12:04 AMGreat episode Steve :D
Yesterday night, I went out and rented a copy of the devil wears prada and watched it with my girlfriend, grrrreat movie :) thanks for the recomendation.
Posted by Marijn at December 7, 2007 10:25 PMYes! Steve is back! Happy Holidays, thanks for the early Christmas present! Holy cow on the giveaway too.
Posted by Tarrant at December 8, 2007 12:41 PMThe Witcher is not based only on a short story. It's based on a series of two short story collections and 5 novels by Andrzej Sapkowski. The first book ("The Last Wish") has recently been released in the UK and will soon be released in the US. You can read more at:

Posted by Ausir at December 10, 2007 2:10 PMHey Gaming Steve. I just found your blog by...some convoluted path or other. But I really enjoyed this episode and am about to start listening to number 65. I'm more interested in tabletop gaming, but you keep having these interviews with WotC staff and I can't resist! Anyway, just wanted to show some appreciation.
