Our regular listeners know that we have a soft spot for independent developers – it’s out by the front walk. Much to our surprise one of the developers managed to slip past both the soft spot and the guard dog. So we were faced with the what to do with Mr. Vlad Luscutoff of MobRule Studio when he came to us last week anxious to tell us about what he is working on. Now we know about the old expression a picture paints a thousand words. Still, the word count gets cuts down a bit when you are trying to convey a visual image on an audio show. So we talked it over and decided to let Mr. Luscutoff have his say on our web site as well.
As to the rest – see that man standing over there in the cheap suit? No? Well trust us, if this were Neil Stephenson’s Snow Crash universe you would. That man is from the FTC and we need to make sure we keep him happy. So here goes:
We haven’t experienced Drop Shock ourselves so we will have to let the product speak for itself. And no, before the man in the cheap suit asks, no one gave us a red cent (actually cents are sort of copper colored aren’t they) to persuade us to let Mr. Luscutoff to have his say – we are just nice that way. In the end you will have to tell us if MobRule Studios rules or not.
As to the rest, part of letting someone have their say is actually letting them have their say so here goes:
