No BS Podcast #122: DROID is Short for Android
Happy Halloween! Wait, that was last week. But then again, that's also when we recorded this episode of the podcast. Topics discussed this week: how the announcement of Android 2.0 and new Android hardware changes the smart phone market, the many controversies surrounding Activision's Modern Warfare 2, and whether the Left 4 Dead 2 demo assuages boycotters' concerns. We also answer a bunch of listener questions to round out the show. And best of all, we'll be releasing another podcast episode later this week!

Ward has every right in the world to make that level, but calling that game art is bullshit. Games like that are more akin to summer blockbuster movies, they'll make a lot money and stir up a lot of coverage, but in the end no one will care in a few years. That's coming from a future game developer.

How come whenever you guys talk about phones you never mention any BlackBerry devices? Its all iPhone, Palm Pre or some Android phone.

Really? The MW2 airport scene is in poor taste? Any more than whacking civvies in GTA4 or Carmaggedon or even 15 years ago in Syndicate? What about games that let you take an evil path from the start like Force Unleashed, KOTOR, etc. Are those in poor taste? What about games that allow you to play as inherently evil characters like a vampire in Oblivion or Vampire the Masquerade?
I'm curious as how this differs from games in the past.
