This session is with Dan Amerson (Technical Director), and Vincent Scheib (Architect).

We use the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) as a launching point to discuss the motion capture and waggle and other announcements from the Big 3 Platforms, growing gaming market share, the games of E3, updates from licensees of Emergent Game Technologies, and ... the awesome that is Twitter.

Besides being a Technical Director for Emergent Game Technologies, Dan practices the martial arts, and wonders if he’s a super hero. He's currently on an "information-low diet", and very zen about it.

In addition to being an architect for Emergent Game Technologies, Vincent Scheib loves the pixels, and loves to make them dance at his capricious whims.

Aside from being a product manager at EGT, Adam is a professional actor, and wrestles llamas. And is trying to get Dan out of his zen-like state.

This much-delayed podcast is with Dan Amerson (Technical Director, Gamebryo), and the topic is the recently released Gamebryo 2.6.

This podcast was actually recorded prior to the release of Gamebryo 2.6 (now available), which explains references to "super secret" features, funny at the time. Now, not so much.

We discuss the animation system performance improvements, 2.3 to 2.5 to 2.6, and Nintendo Wii functionality (among other things).
