I had the great repeat fortune of sitting down the guys from TruePC Gaming to talk again about the WSGF. In this chat we dig into how the WSGF community came up with or terminology (Hor+, Vert-, etc.), our grading system, and how both have evolved over time. I also go into the details of what it takes for a game to get a Gold or Silver medal.
Have you visited True PC Gaming? If not, you should. They are a great indie PC gaming site, and are friends of the WSGF. Here are some highlights from last week.

I had the great fortune to sit down with the fine folks from True PC Gaming and talk about the origins and future of the WSGF. I also sound like an old man, and believe I actually said, "Get off my lawn". Also, after the second mention of using Macs at home, they threatened to throw me off the show and shut it down. If you can handle listening to me talk for the better part of an hour, then please give it a listen.
On a serious note, we do talk about creating a mature and welcoming community. We talk about how reputations are built, how they can precede you, and how they've helped us build the WSGF. Of particular note is how Paddy the Wak's (one of our first Moderators/Editors) reputation helped secure our relationships with both Matrox and scan.co.uk.

TPG has a great focus on indie games, and continually score interviews with indie devs. In fact I'm jealous of this, and I have to learn to do better at reaching out to devs. So, I thought I'd share with you a weekly set of highlights from their site. They have other content highlighting news from indie game devs, so there is even more to check out.
