Episode Three in my series of video "lectures," made in association with Edge.

I'm pleased to introduce game designer James Portnow, cofounder of Divide By Zero Games. He and I will be partnering up to bring you these lectures from here on.
Loosely modeled after Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's Zero Punctuation reviews. For the first time, NOT made to be presented on screen in the classroom.
I can be reached at floydo_animation at yahoo dot com.
James can be reached at jportnow at gmail dot com.

I was a huge Dynasty Warriors fan... And given the choice of presenting what we are interested in... I did a presentation on the Han Dynasty in school.

It was fun to see how much was real in the game and what had to be altered to still be entertaining.
Got an A+ :)

Ecco the Dolphin got me interested in theories about cetacean intelligence when I was a tiny thing. These days ocean news makes up a pretty big chunk of my life.

After Playing hours of Skyrim and Oblivion, I took the time to learn about tamriel and its history. Sigh... I'm sure that knowledge will be relevant in the future.

Wow, you're right. I actually learned more about the history behind Count Dracula and even read the Bram Stoker novel all because I played Castlevania.
