Good evening. You are listening to Three Moves Ahead, the once-in-future official podcast of Flashofsteel.com,

coming to you on the Idol Thumbs Network.

The elaborate introduction means that I must be Troy Goodfellow, your host for tonight,

and with me is one of my regular founding panelists from Gamers with Jobs,

fresh off a trip to South America, the amazing Julian Murdoch.

Amazing. I like being amazing. Good evening, Troy. It's been a while. I haven't talked to you on the show, it's been ages. I know, I know. It's, you know, busy. But busy's good when you're a freelancer, right? Yeah, yes. It's also good when you're in PR, but I'd rather have, you know, my afternoons to siesta, but that's not going to happen.

With us today is... so good when you're in PR, but I'd rather have, you know, my afternoons to siesta, but that's

not going to happen.

With Us Today is a very special guest, someone whose work I've admired for the last

couple of years especially.

He is one half of the blogging and video casting team at the board game blog, set up, shut up,

sit down show, and also a shut up, sit down, show.

And also a freelance writer in the PC gaming field, Mr. Paul Dean.

Hello, that's a really nice introduction.

And I did not know that you were admiring me from afar.

And I feel very shy now.

Oh, your blog's amazing. I plug it to as many people as I can. And of course, your work at PC Games Inn, where you work with Rob Zakney. I do. Rob's really cool to work with and

incredibly good at his job, which is maybe a little bit intimidating.

He's very good.

I mean, he's taken over a lot of my old beats,

and now he's doing stuff that I wouldn't even have dreamed of.

He's just so super amazing and a great writer and a great guy.
