That panel was moderated by our own, Julianne Greer. So that's why the logo was there. Here is the link if you want more details Teaching to the Test: The Impact of Reviews on Game Development [http://www.trianglegameconference.com/apps/schedule/session/19].

Eric Peterson is the President and CEO of Vicious Cycle. We interviewed him awhile back on The Escapist Show, Episode Two: Vicious Cycle [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-escapist-show/332-Episode-Two-Vicious-Cycle-Eat-Lead]. They are one of the game developers local to our area.

Ok, Righteous. What was the general consensus on the topic? I know we would all like to believe it's Yatzee's fault they keep making crappy games.
And... are we gonna get to see any more video from the conference? Maybe in completion =D or at least the "web video killed the television star" parts?

pretty please? with sugar =D

P.S. is your name 'slice'n'?

That sums up the review panel pretty well. And I second the call for video of the Television Star panel. I really wanted to see that one, was sad that I had to miss it.

There are definitely more videos from the conference on the way.

I have been using the name Slycne for gaming and various handles for a few years now. At the time of creation I took the work sly and started adding letters behind it until I found something that looked good, but back then I never bothered to sound it out phonetically. Most people will interpret it as 'slice'n' or 'sly-sin', but phonetically it's actually 'slick-knee'(slyc-ne). I've learned to respond to really any of the variations.

Thank you. I hope the discussion was engaging enough to need the moderator. You know, assembling a panel to agree with one another could be less then entertaining... even if it's nice to know that you're all in agreement on the topic.

 

[Susan Arendt]

Well, moderators do more than just break up fights, they keep the discussion moving, too. Julianne came up with some great questions that sparked a lot of conversation -- it was a shame they only had an hour for the panel. It could've easily gone on for twice that.
