Happy Holidays! Its the end of 2011 and Ben and Rett finally get back into the studio and revisit all their (and their listeners’) predictions for 2011. Who was right? Who was wrong? Who failed epicly? Yes, there’s a reason why most pundits never dredge up their old predictions. Tune in and find out how they did – and a quick recap of the week’s news.
Our next show will be at the end of January and cover the upcoming New York Toy Fair as well as our fearless (or is it feckless?) 2012 Predictions. Of note: Paper Money is moving to a once a month schedule. We apologize to everyone who’s been wondering where the show is every 2 weeks, but Real Life has been intruding pretty heavily on our game – and game business – time, so we thought we’d adjust the show schedule to fit reality. :)
And finally, Ben wanted to thank Santa for his copy of Kings & Things. And GURPS 4th Ed. Kind of an old school Christmas, but it works!

I love prediction shows, and this show. Thanks!
Since you guys may have decided on a more permanent schedule, do you plan on lengthening it due to the gap between recordings? 30 minutes or less was decent because of the lack of important news occurring every two weeks. With a full month, I’m hoping you guys go the gambit and say everything that you thought was important/interesting for that month. Love the show, keep being awesome.
One more thing: Will #57 come out before 2012? I would be interested in what was actually recorded when you guys spoke then.
Alex-
We are going to try and do longer recordings since we are doing monthly shows. The latest show runs a full hour and that is our target for new shows: 60-90 minutes.
As for episode #57…I’ll see what I can do! :)
Why did the show come off iTunes? I love this podcast and never want to miss any!
Berix-
Sorry for the delayed response. I’m not sure why we aren’t on iTunes anymore. Most likely cause? The email they have for me is from the long defunct Imagigrafx – original sponsor and my employer at the time. I promise I will get us back on at some point this Spring. :)
Ben
Hi folks,
thx so far for all the shows!
Though I must say that I miss the first 20, as PurplePawn only lists them from 21…
Is there any way to get the older ones too?
Kudos!
Joe
Good question, Joe. They used to be available elsewhere, but I suspect that the links are long gone now, since Imagigrafx (my former employer and show sponsor) is closed.
That said, I do have copies of all the old shows, so someday, I can repost them. Don’t expect that soon though – real life has been running me ragged this winter and I probably wont get a chance to put the shows up until summer at the earliest.
Hi Ben,
thx, no hassle from my side – summer is fine :)
I also wonder – were there any show notes on those 20 episodes, or just brief summaries on topics that were discussed then?
To wet my appetite :)
Thx!
Joe
There were show notes – with links and brief summaries, but those are long gone along with the Imagigrafx web site. That’s one reason why it’ll take me some time to put the shows up. I still have my personal notes for each show, but it’s more than a cut and paste job.
Thanks for listening, btw! Our next show should be out after the weekend.
You are welcome!
Paper Money is a refreshing change from other podcasts as it deals with the business side of gaming – and has two experts on that talking :)
Keep it up!
Joe
Great prediction shows Ben!!! :) And it is the better show. I just impressed to hear the bit of sounds. It’s amazing. Thanks for allocation.
