- Actualy, a video would be nice. They could eassily have it hosted by Google Video or YouTube so that it wouldn't nessisarily eat any of their podcasting bandwidth. Heck, there's a hundred ways they could deal with the bandwidth issue.
I imagine the reason they didn't do a video podcast was either hardware (high-quality video cameras aren't cheap) or personel (you really do need an producer and a director if you want to make a video that doesn't suck).
Also, they're not always in the same room (or even the same city), so that would add some extra complexity to the production process. Still, it wouldn't be that hard to do if you had the right equipment and a producer who knows what he's doing. -

- Producer for one video podcast episode
?
All you need, is a camera (any camera) with a tripod.
You're making a podcast. Not a video clip. -

- It's not the equipment or talent, it's the time. We're all swamped and it's a wonder we make the show happen every Monday as it is. To edit video of the podcast would take considerably longer than just the audio portion as it is now.
It could happen. You never know. We are listening when people say "video podcast!!11one" though.
In game news, Joel, er um, "Dr. Love" talks about how Louisiana's violent game bill got blocked the very same day it came into effect, Mythic gets bought by EA and works toward Warhammer Online, and the Nintendo DS will soon have Opera for web browsing. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata also talks game pricing and Lumines Live for Xbox 360 will charge you twice; once for the game and once for multiplayer.
Brad divulges many details about the upcoming Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar expansion pack and a listener calls in to ask us what our inspiration for starting the podcast was. Lots to hear in this longer episode, so gets to downloadin'!
