episode 88: Episode 88: The Next Big Thing
"Patience is a virtue. "
So, that quote has nothing to do with this topic, but it seems like a cool thing to start the episode summary with! That said, in this week's episode Zack, Ryan, Andrew (Happy Birthday), and Obinna sit down to discuss "The Next Big Thing." Specifically, they talk/argue about what makes a game, genre, and even a platform the next big thing. The gents outline their criteria for "the next big thing" and then try to measure that against some of the top games in the industry right now. There is a lot of great discussion in this episode as well as the triumphant return of Game of the Week!
