Summary

The incomparable creator of Eternal Darkness and Too Human breaks radio silence to offer us this searingly honest interview. Leon and James are joined by Denis Dyack and Phil Haymes of multimedia innovators Quantum Entanglement for this rare chat. Over the course of more than three hours Denis takes us from Silicon Knights' earliest endeavours, through the machinations of relationships with Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft right down to the specifics of his working relationship with the likes of Kojima and Miyamoto. Denis also bares all about the disappointment of Silicon Knights' final release, X-Men Destiny, the failed Kickstarters and even responds to us challenging his public support of the GamerGate movement. Finally, Denis and Phil explain to us what their exciting and ambitious new initiatives with Quantum Entanglement entail, and what the future holds for the pair. You really do not want to miss this one. Our sincere thanks again to Denis for contacting us out of the blue and suggesting that we record a show with him and Phil. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_interview_with_denis_dyack.mp3 Links relevant to the content of this podcast: Niche Gamer Interview: Parts 1 and 2: http://nichegamer.com/2015/05/denis-dyack-interview-part-1-yellow-journalism-and-what-really-happened-with-x-men-destiny/ http://nichegamer.com/2015/05/denis-dyack-interview-part-2-gamergate-the-igda-and-censorship/ Too Human Video Diary #2: Engagement Theory https://vimeo.com/7346992 Here is one of many press outlets talking about the "For and Against" thread: http://www.gamesradar.com/the-top-30-craziest-industry-quotes/?page=4 Quantum Entanglement: http://www.que-ee.com/ Announcement of a partnership with the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics: http://www.que-ee.com/quantum-entanglement-entertainment-inc-and-perimeter-institute-for-theoretical-physics-partner-to-promote-science/ Music used in this podcast: Elzevir the Dollmaker from Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain by Steve Henifin Edited by James Carter
