@Jeff:
Fair dues, apologies for the assumption. I look forward to (hopefully) seeing/hearing/reading/clicking/licking the other stuff that you''ve been busy with!

To be honest I don't have a problem with it, I mean other bigger games journalism websites do these sort of interviews year round, but GiantBomb has been kept small on purpose, so they're incapable of doing too many things. 
 
If having more interviews meant the Bomb-squad got bigger I'd be against it, because they'd cease to be the same team of great friends.

@Sanj: I wish we were that organized. It's more that we have so much other stuff going on right now that we've had to backburner some of the stuff we shot at PAX.

Nice interview, and yeah, the developer seems like a good guy.   Now I'd like to see the actual game.

This dude seems very invested in and proud of his game.  He must have spent a great deal of time and energy on it.

"Silent Storm was an excellent turn-based strategy game that had physics. It put them to good use - you could actually punch holes through walls to destroy cover and bring down entire buildings then watch the enemy ragdoll. "

Only problem with it was the insanely long turn times for the AI. and the short ranges of the guns, I mean you had to get up reaaaaaal close with smgs and even LMGS.

I don't mind, it's not like the game came out in the meantime. It's good for Giant Bomb and me because they have stuff to post when things are slower than PAX weekend. It's good for the developer because they don't just have a flood of exposure at PAX and then nothing until the game comes out. I had honestly forgotten about this title after everything that happened at the show. "

Yeah fair enough, but did they really have to wait this long? Couldn't the week after have sufficed?
