All that Christmas flulff looks really great btw. The HotSpot is helping us all to get into that warm and fuzzy Christmas spirit.

More indie developers, please!

C'mon Tom. I wanna hear that booming intro to the Hotspot!

you guys need to hire a hot chick like IGN's naomi kyle! although tom is a HOTTY!

Just make Super Meat Boy 2 already!!!!

@abusedbunny Did that negative attitude come from being abused? If so, I feel you. Other than that, Super Meat Boy is freaking amazing. I spent like 68 hours in that game to get 100%. It ruled.

I played this game and thought it was pretty cool. But, why have an interview a year later and what about Limbo? That was an incredible downloadable game.

@BenderUnit22 I hear you.

As cool as these "single game" HotSpots are, I'm hoping you'll get back to talking about what's happening in the industry every now and then.

@staff lol what? does it say we cant say our own opinion on games?

these guys are industry rock stars in my book. it's indie developers like them that will keep our pastime alive long after the EAs and Activisions have bled the art form of its humanity.

Kevin loves thinking and talking about death :D

Discussing achievement and the point of reward system in gaming I think we should all just realize that ultimately the reward in games is the fun you have with the time spent playing. In the end when you finally put a game away does your high score, number of lives, trophies, or achievements unlocked really matter? Beyond that fleeting feeling of accomplishment we get...

mmmmm that was very interesting and awesome!

This podcast and the 'To the Moon' podcast have been so good!! :)

MeatWad = Meatboy i don't see how the main character is all that original... One of Aqua Teen Hunger Force's main character's is also a Wad of meat...

@jazilla I'm still waiting on the Witcher 2 spoilercast.

man i love these guys, they speak their mind. unlike on this site, if you say you dont like the same game as some1 they whine to gamespot and try to get you banned.

These guys are awesome. I wasn't planning on watching the whole podcast, but I did.

Still waiting for the Skyrim spoilercast you promised me personally Magrino. I'm watching you like a hawk, Mister! :p

@abusedbunny Personally I don't like any of the big name sports games. I don't really like Halo, I loved Halo CE when I was little, and I like Halo ODST because it was different, but overall I don't enjoy playing them. I am also not a huge fan of racing games. That being said, I do recognize them as great games. I acknowledge that Halo is a fun game even if I don't personally think it is. If I didn't like Super Meat Boy(amazing game) I could still see that it is extremely fun and deserves to be recognized. If you want to truly judge a game you need to look beyond just what you think about it. You need to think about the game's impact on the industry and the people that may play it.

team meat project in my pocket?? woooo! and im 6 days from having GTA III in my pocket too! i havent been much into mobile gaming even tho i have a itouch 4. but hey these are some serious titles. road trips wont be the same

This is probably my favorite HotSpot show. I love those two guys and they really do keep me going in game design. It always feels so daunting to get into the game design industry and I feel like I should give it up. Then I play their games and it shows me that you don't need all of that. I also like the real side of things that I wish more of the Gamespot community should see. I hate seeing reviews for games where people bash the person doing the review when they are wrong about it. I like hearing things like everyone in that room agreeing that Angry Birds is bad, that we don't need another Call of Duty. Gamespot can't make a headline article by Kevin Van Ord about how he doesn't want more CoD due to the nature of the site.

love how they talk crap about mario... lol as if super meat boy is even close to the same caliber as any mario platformer... gosh these guys are full of themselves. a flash game that should have stayed a flash game.

Super Meat Boy is the best independent game I have ever played. To Team Meat- keep up the amazing work!

This game was pretty fun I enjoyed it

a LOT of big develpers should really think more like these guys Awesome show loved and learned a bit of the behind the scenes of game making Keep up the good work ;)

How weird, but that adds to why the game was made. Theme is inmportant, but I like a good story to a video game.

The best platformer of this gen.

yes.
