The Hey guys, welcome to four-player podcast.

My name is Nick Henderson.

I am joined by Joseph Christ.

Hello.

Carlos. The stout. Carlos, the stout. I don't know what that means. And Brad Simons. You might as an appropriate distance? No, you're not an inappropriate. This is the most comfortable for me. Brad? What if I just turn me way up? Can I sit with it? No, it's not going to work. Alright, hello. this is Brad I'm here it is it is day one of Pax Prime 2011 Christina sitting in too

Christina is sitting in she's kind of off to the side she's sharing a mic with Brad

I'm kind of here so you might hear a fifth voice come in here and there so it's day one of

Pax Prime 2011 it's late we. We're all very, very tired,

but we're going to go ahead and... Can I go ahead and point out that it's even later in Austin?

Two hours later. Carlos... What time is it here now?

Carlos seems to be obsessed with the difference in time zones. It is no...

Okay, oh, a second. Okay, it's almost 1 o'clock. So it's 3 a.m. in Austin. Jesus, that's insane. We were going to try to get to bed in 20 minutes. We need to go to sleep soon. We were going to do this. So we're going to go ahead and cover all the games that we saw today in Day 1 of packs. We might, some of this might overflow into tomorrow's podcast.

Let's do chronological.

We're going to kind of go chronologically down our list here, talk about some stuff.

We started with Twist a Metal.

First hour today was media only, and we all kind of rushed, with the exception of Joseph.

What about tactical color, bro?

What do you think about tactical color?

I have it on here. Me too. You mean that I'd destroy you in Handily? Yeah, you did. The controls in that game kind of sucked, but... They're kind of bizarre, we get to hitting their wrong buttons. What the hell is Tactical Color? Is part of the XPLA... Indie games. Indie game, Roadshow. Train, Play, Challenge. So there's like, they go, they do this like open challenge like games, like competition. And they got like 250 submissions and then nameless Microsoft manager people decide on the winners.

And I think they have 20 finalists, 21 finalists and they were all sort of in one booth.

All these games can already be downloaded from the Ind-the-game marketplace. Where is this magical booth? It was in the back. It was behind, like, tribes. Yeah. Oh, who the fuck goes back there? We do. Well, that's where some cool games were, actually. We play this game called Tactical. It's like real-time risk. Yeah, yeah.

Where the players are moving at the same time.
