How does I make video games
Wow, it's easy to make boardgames? I would think that sometimes that would be almost harder! Making all those crazy rules and stuff, and not cheap for one player... *sigh*

How do you become a producer
Creating a mod team or starting out in another position in the gaming industry are both very good ways to get your foot in the door. As for schooling, management and things of that nature are good things to study. Like Joe said earlier, some of the best producers started out in other positions and moved their way up. Starting from the bottom and being involved in different areas of the development process really gives you a grasp of what is involved in making a game. It really opens your eyes to things you just wouldn't know if you, say, only knew art or only knew design. A good producer knows a couple of the different departments, while a great producer knows everything! Being very outgoing and understanding also makes for a great producer, in addition to having good problem-solving skills. It's hard to find people that are good at all of these things, and i'm pretty privileged to be working with some of the best.

Xbox 360 Reloaded
Free full version of an XBL arcade game for the Live outlets. I guess that's pretty cool. Awesome. Hope it's something good! BTW, Spiffer2021 is my Gamertag.

Sequels you wish were being made
How were the other Xenosaga's? I played the first, and loved it, and then the second one changed the actors, and i didn't like a lot of the other additions...

Mask of the Betrayer
I'm quite the nub when it comes to D&D, but after playing with NWN 2 for awhile and briefly checking out NX1, i can build a pretty good character. One of my favorite parts is actually seeing what build works with what kind of character i like to play. All nubs aside, NX1 is a great game for all who know what they are doing. With the great music, design, graphics, and gameplay, its definitely something to check out. Heck, i've been trying to play it again ever since i got a taste of it on our Obsidian NX1 Play Day!
