    sign language stuff… animation is pretty bad, but they are working on it… They use their own engine so that explains some of the crumminess, and they are a small business http://vcom3d.com/

  • Great show. I thought Dave’s “number 1″ analogy was a great way to put it, and I agree with him completely.

    Ironically I couldn’t think of anything OTHER than the number 1. I was playing Yahtzee while listening to the Podcast, and I kept thinking of that – couldn’t keep the number 1 on my mind to save my life.

    What’s the new intro/outro music you guys use now? It’s great.
