Adam Rosser, correspondent on BBC Radio Five Live and friend of GameSkinny, was curious about the DDoS attack on the EVE Universe‘s Tranquility game server and gave me a call for some more information.
Due to an unplanned bicycle malfunction, I ended up making my debut game report for the BBC via a crackling phone line from a grassy knoll somewhere in Hertfordshire – literally in-the-field journalism.
As well as my attempts to explain the circumstances of the DDoS attack and discuss CCP’s handling of it, Adam talks to CVG’s Ben Griffin about Borderlands 2 (ride the “poop train”!) and Army of Two. The highlight here was Ben’s love-em-and-leave-em approach to gaming when asked if Army of Two has a place in his heart. ‘It did for a week’ came the flippant reply.
A recorded interview with Huw Beynon, former head of communications for the ill-fated THQ, sets the stage for Adam and Eurogamer’s Rich Stanton to discuss the against-the-odds surprise hit Metro: Last Light.
For my next trick I will be delivering a report from the bottom of a boating lake. Maybe.
