Show #73: George Fan, PopCap Games Interview

  • We will start the show off with an interview with George Fan, Senior Game Designer at PopCap Games, and talk about his latest game, Plants vs. Zombies.
  • Be sure to listen for information on the making of Plants vs. Zombies, as well as a discussion on the amount of cholesterol in brains!
  • George talks about making the sound effect for butter, and making the music video. Here is a blog post about it. You can download the song (also in Japanese) in MP3.
  • Jason explains the 1 vs. 100 beta going on right now in Canada. He wrote about it already, and was trying to play while we recorded the show, but kept getting booted.
