	<itunes:summary>Platform Nation is a collaboration of several gaming podcasts who decided it would be best for our gamers, the podcasters and the rest of the gaming community if they came together to share efforts. Together we have a larger voice in the community for the gamers that we strive to speak for. We share the same forums and for the most part, share the same listeners. After all, we are a community, not a network  Platform Nation, United We Game.</itunes:summary>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you haven&#8217;t heard <a href="http://www.platformnation.com/2009/06/14/show-139-last-call/">show #139 &#8220;Last Call&#8221;</a> then this post will come as somewhat of a shock to you. I do encourage you to listen to our final <a class="zem_slink" title="Podcast" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast">podcast</a> and enjoy a show that will be remembered as a milestone in both my life and possibly yours.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3357/3626834550_9dd2e882b6_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Rodder and I will be retiring from <a class="zem_slink" title="Squad XP" rel="homepage" href="http://www.squadxp.com/">Squad XP</a> and along with us so will the brand that Squad XP has built over the past 5 years. It was fun to do the show and even up to today I&#8217;ve enjoyed every minute of it. But I feel, just like any good series on TV or radio sometimes it just has to move along. I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;ll be doing next. Maybe something with video or I&#8217;ll just start other projects in my personal life.</p>
<p>If you would like to follow our future projects as well as our day to day lives, our twitter account are available below.</p>

<p>The site will no longer be updated and our forums will be removed from the Platform Nation list. You can still expect to find Rodder and myself around Platform Nation from time to time.</p>
<p>I want to thank each of you that aided me in my success and I will be forever grateful that you gave us the chance to entertain you each week for the past 5 years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really feel for Tim Schafer, he seems to have really bad luck when it comes to his great games being published. What with the less than stellar publishing of Psychonauts by Majesco and the dropping of Brutal Legend by Activision. Apparently, from <a href="http://weblogs.variety.com/the_cut_scene/2008/08/brutal-legend-n.html">The Cut Scene</a>, MTV games has best wishes but will not be publishing this game.</p>
<blockquote><p>We are big fans of [Double Fine chief] Tim Schafer. We hope the game finds a good home.<br />
That&#8217;s all they had to say, but my reading of &#8220;PR-ese&#8221; is that MTV considered publishing &#8220;Brutal Legend,&#8221; talked to Double Fine and its reps, but ultimately decided not to pick the game up and/or couldn&#8217;t reach a deal.</p>
<p>So where will &#8220;Brutal Legend&#8221; end up? With MTV out of the picture</p></blockquote>
<p>I think Activision made a big mistake here. One of their biggest franchises is Guitar Hero. It has been said that there are parts of the game that require use of a guitar controller. I mean could this not be more obvious product synergy? Also, MTV games also made a big mistake since they could have published this game and linked it to Rockband.</p>
<p>I really hope this game gets picked up by some publisher out there. I remember reading an article in Game Informer and it looked really good back in the magazine.</p>
