Awesome podcast, and everything sounded really crisp and clean this week. I wouldn’t be able to go to E3 this year, so I didn’t enter the contest, but if I won I’d make sure that we all had a wild time.

We’ll know that guy’s resume is for real if he gets sued. I would think that companies would be turned-off by his resume not just because it’s lame to include focus group participation but mainly because he’s violating his NDA. I’ve participated in some online focus groups for upcoming videogames recently and was tempted to share some info when related posts showed up on GR, but decided to honor my NDA.

I like to think that even if there weren’t negative repercussions for violating them you would still honor your agreements with the game companies.
