This is the Gamers' Jobs Conference call for September 28th, 2016.

I'm your host, Sean Andrich.

And before I even introduce anybody, I'm going to mention our topic real quick. And then

everything's going to make sense. Our topic this week is going to be, why do some weird indie

games catch fire and why do other ones fail? And to help us discuss this, our esteemed panel

of weird indie game

ologists, something I just made up, we have Alan Cook. That's me. That's to a T, definitely.

Yeah, and we also have Amanda Nolton. Hello. And very excited to have on a longtime writer for

gamers with jobs, Mr. Greg Decker.

Welcome to the show.

Thank you.

Apologist is a word that has been applied to me many times.

That's right.

So you are ideal for this.

If you don't know, Greg has been writing a now long running series of Too Long Didn't Play,

which he delves into some really mainstream stuff, then some really weird off kilter kind of games too.

So I figured you'd just be a perfect fit for this particular topic here.

And if you want to hear more from Greg, he's just started a podcast with his wife called a synchronous multiplayer podcast, I think.

Did I get that right? Yeah, that's it.

Boom.

Nailed it.

All right.
