203: Bug Eyed Man

There’s plenty of news with everything from Microsoft not acquiring a company, Gears of War on the PS3 and source code leaking everywhere. But the big news story is that we’ve rebranded to TCGS. From The Computer Game Show. But that doesn’t affect the podcast. The podcast stays the same. Apart from the big change you’ll hear on this show. But apart from that, the podcast remains the same. Same name. Same logo. The same. But we as a group/collective/company, we’re now TCGS. See. It makes sense. G...
