:rofl: The Scandinavian social welfare system makes Johan too laid back to be a hardcore strategy gamer.
EDIT: The interviewer really seems to know his HoI. Great podcast.
Troy here.
We both know our Paradox games pretty well. I've spent more time with HoI than Tom has, but we're both pretty keen that a developer even tries to make games like this - even though they don't always turn out great. The Paradox games come up a lot in our podcast (which is all strategy centered), in fact.
Re the noise, it was pretty bad but there weren't any conference rooms or anything we could use so we had to make do with the on floor meeting room. No ceiling and lots of noise in the background. It's really not a great place to show any game off at its best; all the lights, for example, were making the Wii Remotes act crazy. Recording was a bit of a trial, but I did as much filtering as I could.
And Johan is very laid back. It can't be the climate...
Many thanks to Susana, Johan and Kim Soares for agreeing to set this up. This is on track to be our most listened to episode yet - and it's mostly you guys as near as I can determine.
