Podcast appearances and mentions of rod humble

Rod Humble and King Choi of Paradox Tectonic join Danielle and Alissa to discuss their enormously ambitious upcoming life sim -- Life by You -- as well as their approach to flat hierarchies, empowering mod communities, balancing feature creep in an inherently sprawling project, and a lot more.

The first Late Night Ramble of 2021 welcomed Rod Humble to talk about his experiences of supporting Aston Villa in the US over the last 30 years. Rod is well known for his work in the gaming industry as the former CEO of Second Life creator Linden Lab and Head of EA Play where he was the man responsible for the Sims franchise of games. He is now at Paradox Interactive where he heads up their studio, Paradox Tectonic.  Rod discussed his Villa history including keeping up to date with the team in the US in the 90s, his love for Tony Daley and finally being able to speak loudly about his team in San Fransisco.  We also previewed the upcoming FA Cup tie against Liverpool and Rod gave his thoughts on how he would approach the game. Finally, it wouldn't have been a Late Night Ramble without another edition of Didier Six! Don't forget to check out our last Late Night Ramble of 2020 - our interview with Dwight Yorke.

My guest on today's episode is Rod Humble. Rod has an incredible CV - CEO of Linden Labs, head of the EA Play label responsible for the Sims, game artist in residence at the San Francisco MOMA and current Jam City GM - but at heart he is a guy who loves and is fascinated by playing, making, and talking about games. Here are some highlights of a particularly packed episode: We talk about being moved by scale, an early love of the precise lines of Atom Invaders and the wonder of the seaside arcade, how his early love of design was encouraged by code pages in magazines, and how an early teacher once told him you have two paths ahead of you, computers or crime. There's also the profound impact of Elite, why Tetris resonates so much with so many, Will Wright stories, how he originally turned his nose up when he was given the Sims to look after, but quickly realised how wrong he was, and how his whole life has been a golden age for videogames. "We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents."

If the notion of the modern RTS makes you break into a cold sweat as you think about APM and wrist pain, we have good news for you: Veitikka Studios has created a more elegant weapon for a more civilized age. Armored Brigade puts you in command of cold war-era equipment in an impressively generated battlefield. The excellent scenario generator and impressive AI turn this game into something special, much to the delight of our panel. Rob, Ian Boudreau, game designer Rod Humble, and Troy "You've given me a heart and a brain" Goodfellow explain why Armored Brigade turned out to be an excellent game to round out 2018.

Bruce and Troy "I know his ideas are weird but let's just hear him out" Goodfellow are joined by Rod Humble to talk about Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa. The latest entry in the Decisive Campaigns series adds intriguing elements of roleplaying into the wargaming formula as the player attempts to sway, cajole, and stay on the good side of superiors and fellow staff.
