Here's the March videochat.  This one was worse than average for rambling.  There's some Stop Killing Games news towards the beginning, but nothing too important overall.  Game Dungeon coming next!

The Sonic Unleashed PC port does open the floodgates for Xbox 360 ports, but only partway. The static recompilation tools developed for it essentially translate code from 360 to PC, and can work on any game, Unleashed was just the one the devs wanted most.
 

It's not as viable as stuff like the N64 recomps we saw last year, since Dario and Skyth had to rewrite the game's render pipeline, but there is a lot more that can be done with this stuff in the future.

I’ve played a lot of sandbox games, but Melon Playground stands out for its simple controls and crazy simulation features.
