If you haven't yet noticed, Evil Avatar Radio (http://www.evilavatarradio.com) has had our Stieg Hedlund interview (http://www.evilavatarradio.com/audio/EAR.Interview.Steig.Hedlund.mp3) posted for a couple days now. Check it out at the link provided, via Odeo (http://odeo.com/audio/2429983/view), or on iTunes.
For those who need reminding, Stieg is the first true game development icon we've interviewed on the show. He's been a part of the industry since the '80s, working for such recognizable developers as Koei, Electronic Arts, Sega, and Ubisoft. Most famously, Stieg worked at Blizzard Entertainment as lead designer on two of the most frequently cited examples for "Best PC Game Ever": Starcraft and Diablo II. Stieg is currently hard at work at Perpetual Entertainment, where he's creating a Roman-themed MMO titled Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising.
Our interview with Stieg goes very in-depth into games in general and Gods and Heroes in specific. We cover a whole ton of topics in the just-over-an-hour I spent talking to Stieg, and he's really a fascinating guy, so if you haven't taken the time to check out one of our EvAv Radio interviews yet, this is the one to jump on to! Also: we may or may not briefly discuss penis size. (Yeah, I knew that would draw in the people on the fence.)
Along with granting us the interview, Perpetual Entertainment was awesome enough to give us TEN free spots in the upcoming Gods and Heroes open beta to give away. Here are the lucky winners: bean19, Hemalin, EvilMegan, Asmodan, xauss, Sm!le, Meatbaal, derjester, Ronberk, Kem0sabe
Congrats to all the winners! I'll be contacting you all soon with a request for contact info and more information on when and how you'll be part of the beta. Everyone else, keep your eyes and ears peeled to Evil Avatar for more interviews and contests via Evil Avatar Radio!
