Just a glance over, but what happened to our "Questions" from the last article.

To be honest, they weren't really usable within an hour's stage interview. I took five along with me, but only two really good ones, and I asked one on stage. Another two or three from the audience, and time was up. What was yours?

industry wide cross platform development game VOS system to save money and time publishing games.
The other question, is what about such a system for a instant on access, instant install, no disk required to play each time, with copy protection PC game system form factor sub specification. That this system could work
with and without windows. Even if this system was instead based on a very small basic Linux form factor that was tailored towards game hardware and performance?
Do you think that Sony, 360 and Nintendo are restricting the industry (apart from costing consumers more money) and a PC game console specification like above, that can be worked into every PC is a better, more open and cheaper option for development (and consumers)?
But also interested in Joji's questions:

My questions:
What do you think of the rise of Indie game development on XNA, PSN, iPhone (especially the latter?
If you were to give three pieces of advice, to any indie start up
developer out there, what would you say?
Has he any new games in the pipeline?
Lastly, piracy indirectly/partially helped the industry thrive to a
degree, but will it be the red button to its downfall, like many
think?

All noted, I'll be doing a follow-up with Nolan at some point soon (I hope), I'll be sure to ask them then. Cheers.

800Mhz is wrong...possibly meant 800Khz. The speccy/64 were about 1 or 2 Mhz.

IIRC he said KHz.
