Eurogamer.net Podcast #90: Joe Danger

By Tom Bramwell Published 15 November, 2011

Sean Murray visits to talk Joe Danger: The Movie and the XBLA Special Edition. Plus: getting arrested.

Word up, devoted listener(s), for it is the 90th instalment of the award-losing Eurogamer.net Podcast!

Tom Champion is hosting again and is joined by Tom Bramwell (hello!), news editor Wesley Yin-Poole and a special guest. A Special Edition guest, you could say!

That's right - this week the Eurogamer.net Podcast welcomes back Hello Games MD Sean Murray, who takes time out of his busy schedule betraying PlayStation fanboys to talk about progress on the Joe Danger games.

Those with long memories may remember Murray has been here before - for Eurogamer.net Podcast Episode 22, in fact. (I don't know why I have bothered to put a link in there, because you are even less likely to listen to that podcast than you are this one, but I have.)

Back then Joe Danger was either on the verge of release or had just come out (even I can't be bothered to click the link, it turns out), but now we can look back and call it a roaring success! This time we're talking about the sequel, Joe Danger: The Movie, and the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade version of the original, dubbed Joe Danger: Special Edition.

There's lots of interesting insight into what it's like being one of the UK's recent indie success stories, not to mention exciting development anecdotes, like the time they drove a sofa to Gamescom or the time Murray was arrested for working late.

For all that and slightly more, have a listen. We're counting on you not having anything better to do. Oh, and thanks to Sean Murray for coming down! He's a genuinely lovely chap and he doesn't really hate PlayStation owners.

Background reading:

The Eurogamer.net Podcast mostly comes at night. Mostly. (Otherwise at 5pm UK time Tuesdays.)

    All this false modesty is unbecoming of you.

    Ok, so it's not the best thing ever committed to recorded sound, but I've listened to every single one of these and they're a mini high point of my mid-week.

    I miss Ellie a bit, and I liked Sandy Island Games, and I wish you could get Teti on the phone or something, but you're all right.

    That'll do EG. That'll do.

    mid week high point? Yes, yes indeed. I do look forward to this podcast. I've noticed lately that it's been posted a little later in the day than usual. I was just about to flip out today, but then you posted it, and... well - now I can be happy again.

    No mention of your two 10/10 games from last week though? I was sure this podcast was going to be all about zelda and skyrim - yeah a little note of skyrim texure issue, but some added commentary would have been nice.

  • caesar_ #4 6 months ago

    Yeah, I was kind of expecting some Zelda and Skyrim discussion. Oh well, this is good too.

    Skyrim chat coming next week!

  • iamtheoneneo #6 6 months ago

    much better than last weeks bs podcast, really insightful and great guest! next week skyrim please - i expect nothing less then you all to of played at least 50 hours. ;)

  • Venatio Verified Community & Gaming Manager, Eurogamer Network #7 6 months ago

    @iamtheoneneo

    Cheers! We've played plenty of Skyrim here. 37 hours in the first 3 days but I haven't been able to play since Sunday. :(

  • OxWearingSocks #8 6 months ago

    @Venatio Good to hear Skyrim is next week. I really did enjoy this weeks podcast; insight from within the industry is fascinating to me. But I do wish it was a Podcast 'Extra' episode or similar on top of the regular one.

    You all joke about the listener numbers too much for me to know if it would be worth the time to do two podcasts in one week but I would bloody love it!

    I listen to a fair few gaming ones but EG is the only one who actually gets me to their website ha.

    Ahh, podcast 22. Back from the heady days of 'What we have been playing', Mass Effect specials and "What's a Ben 10?"...
