  • Our interview from PAX is with Jon Ingold and Joseph Humfrey from Inkle Interactive Studios, who are releasing an iOS version of the classic adventure gamebook Steve Jackson's Sorcery! this week.

Great show. I loved all the E3 reminiscing. I was at the E3 (The Paris Hilton E3?) that you guys were talking about, but I was working most of the time so I didn't get to go to any press conferences. It's the one where the Wii and PS3 were playable on the show floor for the first time. At least for that show, Nintendo blew everyone away. The lines to play the Wii were ridiculous and nobody I knew was making fun of them, but like you said, it's different when you're there.

Just to add my 2 cents to the GIF pronunciation argument. I also pronounce it "JIF" because I heard that's the correct way from a graphic design instructor at the school I work at. Also, to counter DarkSakura's point about the G sounding the same as in Graphic, the P in JPEG stands for Photographic but we don't pronounce it JFEG.

Many people are saying Nintendo is dead. "The Wii U isn't selling" "Nintendo lost money for 2nd year in a row" and now "Nintendo isn't doing E3, are they crazy?!"

Yeah, the Wii U isn't selling, it happened the same with the 3DS and look at it now! It's probably the best handheld out there right now. And a lot of companies lose money, Sony lost tons of money in recent years and it's still running. And Nintendo not doing E3, HAS ANYONE SEEN THE NINTENDO DIRECTS? Seriously, I bashed the Wii U when it launched but seriously, Nintendo isn't going anywhere soon.

Granted they do have to rethink their strategy with the Wii U, but if the 3DS has thought us something is that Nintendo are capable of that.
