It&#8217;s a little bit on the epic side &#8211; very nearly a full hour and a half &#8211; but incredibly interesting, as a lot of questioning from the crowd focuses on the crash, the recovery, and what&#8217;s next.  And these guys?  They knew.  Right on the money.  It&#8217;s really interesting.  It&#8217;s also interesting to see them talk at great length about the blessing and curse of licensed games, whether movie tie-ins or coin-ops.  Let&#8217;s just say there weren&#8217;t anyone&#8217;s favorites from the game-making side of things.  Best of CGE &#8217;05 will debut simultaneously at OVGE in Tulsa and CCAG in Cleveland, and if you didn&#8217;t know already, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/media\/ovge-ccag-pre-order\/\">you can pre-order any of the DVDs I produce for pickup at either show<\/a>.  (Just wanted to pimp that one more time.)  I&#8217;m really looking forward to this year&#8217;s OVGE event &#8211; I like to spend my grown-up get-together time reminiscing about games I played in my childhood.  \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n<p>Remember a few days ago when I pointed out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelogbook.com\/earl\/2009\/09\/07\/the-world-may-end-this-year\/\">a convergence of releases and\/or potential releases by a bunch of my favorite musicians<\/a> that may well signal the end of the world, or at least my ears exploding in sheer delight?  Add one major surprise to that list: <strong>Jason Falkner<\/strong>&#8216;s just released a new studio album, once again only on a Japanese label.  Considering that his last album released in this manner has never seen the light of day on a domestic label, I might as well try to see if I can find 40 bucks in the couch cushions for this one&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sleepers awaken!
