Transmission Code: 9309
We were lucky enough to have Ryan AKA Stenchy from ModDB and Matt AKA CrowBarSka developer of Union for Half-Life 2: Episode 2. They discuss the week’s news with William and Phillip, along with an interview with Ryan about ModDB. There’s also a discussion about an idea Phillip posted on PlanetPhillip.com called Game Community Academy.
Note: The L4D Infected Hack mentioned in this podcast is no longer available. We recorded the Podcast BEFORE Valve patched the L4D Demo.
