I assume that format is what allows the chapters and pictures. I really liked that. Guess you can't please everyone... I actually liked the mp4/m4a file.

Especially for a first episode. I like the format of talking about 5-6 games each week. I would enjoy hearing reviews of older games in addition to the current stuff. There is so much good stuff out there that I haven't played yet. Also, good idea including a girl and a developer in the show. Kind of balances it out. Hey, I think the podcast was pretty good.

Just one minor 'nit' however: There was a constant sound throughout the first half of the podcast; like a metal slinky being played with next to the microphone which really detracted from the dialogue for me. Can you tell us what this was and is it possible to avoid going forward? Thanks for such a really great site and congrats again on the first podcast! Cheers, --Howard The podcast was good and I hope they continue.

It'll be even better when it's on iTunes. Please don't listen to those who are asking for video though. Podcasts are for when you're doing other stuff. Great podcast.

Love the site and the podcast CONTENT is great but PLEASE, there is no need for M4A (or MP4) media. Please PLEASE put out MP3's!

Great show, guys, looking forward to the next!

I d/l it and listened to it last night. Overall I like it and it's cool to hear Eli & Blake's voices and you again Arn (heard you on MacBreak Weekly podcast before). I like the podcast and the guest developer concept. A suggestion maybe develop a loose regular topics outline format with different topic areas for the podcast maybe something like: 1) New Games - (released this week) 2) What we're Playing (your team) 3) Upcoming Games (impressions, etc) 4) Sleeper Games (unnoticed but good, maybe include forum thoughts) 5) Each Person's Pick of the Week (favorite game, recommendation) 6) Pick a Genre to discuss & review multiple games in genre (ex: sports one week, RPG next, Fighting/Action, Tower Defense, etc.) 7) Guests (It would be great if you could get guests like): Gameloft (developer) EA (developer) ngmoco Other developers Big Forum Reviewers (I'd love to hear Big Albie as a regular on the show or frequent guest) Maybe Apple App Reviewer (hey we can wish huh) Just a few thoughts. I love the site and have been following it from day one and your appearance on MBW. Everything is great: the reviews, forums, and now the podcast. Keep up the great work guys! Arn & Crew,

Great job on the podcast! I d/l it and listened to it last night. Overall I like it and it's cool to hear Eli & Blake's voices and you again Arn (heard you on MacBreak Weekly podcast before).

I like the podcast and the guest developer concept.

1) New Games - (released this week)

2) What we're Playing (your team)

3) Upcoming Games (impressions, etc)

4) Sleeper Games (unnoticed but good, maybe include forum thoughts)

5) Each Person's Pick of the Week (favorite game, recommendation)

6) Pick a Genre to discuss & review multiple games in genre (ex: sports one week, RPG next, Fighting/Action, Tower Defense, etc.)

7) Guests (It would be great if you could get guests like):

Gameloft (developer)

EA (developer)

ngmoco

Other developers

Big Forum Reviewers (I'd love to hear Big Albie as a regular on the show or frequent guest)

Maybe Apple App Reviewer (hey we can wish huh)

Just a few thoughts. I love the site and have been following it from day one and your appearance on MBW. Everything is great: the reviews, forums, and now the podcast. Keep up the great work guys!

With the discussion that followed our original announcement, we listened to the reactions and adjusted the scope and focus of the project. We haven't yet decided on the new name, but "Zen Bound 3GS" would be misleading, as the game will run on all devices. Visual quality on the older generation of iPhones and iPods will be pretty much the same as the current ZB, but on 3GS hardware the visuals will be significantly enhanced. There will be new content, but it's a bit too early to go into the specifics just yet.
