For our monumental 100th episode of Front Towards Gamer Radio, Shanghai sits down with Double Fine’s chief to talk about what it was like rubbing elbows with heavy metal legends like Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Halford for Brutal Legend (METAL!), whether or not Double Fine will be doing another “amnesia fortnight” following the success of Double Fine’s downloadable titles, and how exactly you follow up making three million dollars on Kickstarter for a $300,000 project. And yes, I ask about Psychonauts 2.

Shanghai Six finally tracks down the commander in chief of Rooster Teeth and the mega franchise Red vs. Blue, Mr. “Burnie” Burns for an interview on how he explains to people at dinner parties what he does for a living, the surprising method of how Red vs. Blue fight scenes are choreographed, how they managed to pull down Elijah Wood to provide voice work for Season 10, and who Burnie thinks he can take at the office in a fight!

Shanghai Six sits down with LA actress and model Rana McAnear to discuss how a simple afternoon of facial capture has more or less changed the course of her life! As the face of two of the more notable Mass Effect Asari characters, Morinth and Samara, the job has been the jumping off point to her career. We discuss her surprisingly rabid fanbase, the shocking amount of time and energy it takes to “become” an Asari, and how Bioware is handling her appearances (it’s not what you’d think!).

Recording episode 98 today with Gamergirl and Batman and I realized we are a short two weeks away from our big super double extra secret squirrel surprise special interview guest for the show for our 100th sodding episode. We’re pulling down over a thousand downloads an episode, so we figured it was time to hear back from the people who are regularly listening and participating in our shows!

Oh, hai there! Shanghai Six sits down with one of the nicest guys in the games industry, Activision lightning rod and 20-year games journalism veteran Dan “One of Swords” Amrich. He’s taking a break from his whirlwind book signing tour of Laos and Malaysia to discuss the culmination of almost a decade worth of cocktail napkins scribblings: his book “Critical Path: How to Review Video Games for a Living”. Dan has literally written the book that will give you everything you need to get your foot in the door of the games industry, making sure to give those starry-eyed prospective future games journalists a much needed reality check of living with six roommates in a single bedroom apartment in San Fransisco for $19,000 a year.
