I’m pretty darned pleased with today’s show, and at least 87% of the credit should probably go to Very Special Guests Mr. Gary Whitta and The Walking Dead Episode 4 Director Nick Herman. For the uninitiated, Gary Whitta is the former Editor-in-Chief of PC Gamer and writer of post-apocalyptic drama The Book of Eli and the upcoming After Earth. The burgeoning screenwriter and devoted gamer discusses his role as story consultant for Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead series, his approach to writing Episode 4: Around Every Corner, and the evolution of zombie culture. Ever-affable two-time Blogcast veteran Telltaler Nick Herman discussed the creative pressures of episodic gaming and how Episode 4 only raises the stakes. It’s a fun, engrossing chat and we’re all richer for it. Well, I am.
Of course, this week’s show brings everything you know and (hopefully) love about PlayStation Blogcast: The new PSN releases (and there are a lot in store for next week), the illuminating Player Queries and Listener Tips, the camaraderie, the inappropriate remarks, the cheesy jokes. It’s all here, so listen up and let us know what you think.

Hey Guys, love the podcast, would love to hear more about the newly redesigned Playstation Store, please discuss this next week?
It seems like the amount of time that it takes you guys to get to the new releases increases each week. It’s not by much, but it adds up over time so that what used to take five minutes takes fifteen minutes now. The shows themselves are much, much longer now than they used to be, as well. Not a big deal, but it’s something I’ve noticed lately.
Fantastic show as always!
Oh boy, oh boy! It’s that time of the week! =D
P.S. I like the new cast photos!

There’s no reason not to kill in MGS4? What are you talking about Sid?
Well, not the same way as in Dishonored/Deus Ex/etc. It’s not a major element of the game. MGS3 on the other hand…
