Storytelling comes in many forms. In gaming, we play out scenes through our avatars and with our imaginations. As strange as it may seem, the creative storytelling process of filmmaking isn’t much different! In episode 17, Ron Newcomb and I examine Ron’s journey from law enforcement officer to filmmaker, some parallels between gaming and filmmaking, and the movement towards community involvement for independent filmmakers. http://media.blubrry.com/beyondbossfights/djpimpdaddy.forgot.his.name/bey...

Producer’s note: Since the completion of this show, it has been announced that parent company AOL is closing all Joystiq properties, including Massively . I toyed with the idea of recording a short segment for the beginning of the show explaining these developments, but considering the amount of work involved and short timeframe, I decided to release this episode as-is, from a time before either of us were aware of the closures. Justin is an amazingly talented writer, and I look forward to readi...

This month’s episode is a series of outtakes from the first year of Beyond Bossfights. Included is mess-ups, interruptions, cut material and some behind-the-scenes stories. I’ve also included a “mock interview” with my youngest son that was intended to test my new handheld recorder, but ended up being quite the discussion about desserts!
