It's a big week for Jumping the Shark as Stardock founder and CEO, Brad Wardell, joins us to talk about the sale of Impulse to Gamestop, the future for PC gaming, and what's next for Stardock now that Impulse is no longer a part of their picture. If you spend much time on the Internet you've surely seen something Brad's written, or at least heard about it from some other source. He's a guy who puts himself out there and doesn't pull punches when he talks about what he thinks, and it's no different here. To a lot of people this makes him a rather polarizing figure, but what you learn about Brad in talking to him live -what's not always clear in print- is just how reasonable (and funny) a guy he is. He has an obvious passion for this business and he likes to talk about his ideas and theories about it. I think I speak for all of us when I say we'd love to have him back in the future just to talk games.
After the topic segment with Brad, we also do a short segment on what we've been playing. Danielle talks The Lost Hobo King (Stacking expansion), Brandon's all over Tiger Woods PGA Tour '12: The Masters Edition, and Bill reaches into the wayback machine and comes out with a copy of Demon's Souls. Be sure to check it out!
