Favorite developer "inside looks"

ebagg

Especially in the past five years there's been a huge amount of developer-created blogs, vlogs, podcasts, bonus content videos, etc, that are great at showing company culture, project pipeline, the day to day lives of our fellow game industry folks. I was wondering what your favorites are.

For example a cool one I've been checking out is the Far Cry 2 team's visit to Africa to collect references, they've had two installments so far on gametrailers.com.

Really? they had to send them to africa to get reference? geez.
Plus I don't know If I would go to africa even if you paid me. All those 12 year olds with Ak's listining to Ice Cube, in a truck on a dusty road equals certain death.

But back on topic, I think there is a reality show waiting to happen, set in a a game development studio. And if anyone out there is casting. I'll volunteer myself for the role of "Over Sensitive Ethnic looking guy".

There must be safe spots. how do you think white people take all their natural resources without being shot?

Sign me up as well Josh. I don't mind doing full frontal nudity.

Hey, I wish some one would send me to Africa! How many people form the team did they send? Only been to Northern Africa but we had a great time!

I'd rather it was a scripted sit-com with canned laughter. It could be as funny as Lab Rats (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1262402/). Oh, wait.


Didn't CliffyB do one? A blog, not a sitcom.

oh that would certainly be interesting, however I would love to see and play the product that results from the show, instead of all of it being scripted. maybe something like curb your enthusiasm, where there's no real script but everyone has an idea of where its going. or not. whatever. still a neat idea overall.

surprised it hasn't happened yet. how many people would want to watch it though?

you know, outside of us.
