Marian Mondays: Interview

Alec Holowka — Mon, 23 May 2011 22:15:16 +0000

A new interview I did with GameSpy just came out. I think this was a good one, I got to answer a few interesting questions in an honest and blunt way.

Winnitron on CBC Radio

Alec Holowka — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 00:20:28 +0000

Today, the Winnitron 1000 received some coverage in the Wininpeg Free Press. You can read the article here.

Thanks to Melissa Martin for hooking us up. Oddly enough, the article uses a couple of photos by Chrissy – without crediting her. Bwa? Hopefully my posting their photo on this blog will be some kind of revenge. Mwahaha?

I was also just on local CBC Radio talking about the Winnitron 1000!

Hurray for old media!

Marian on CBC Radio

One of my dreams came true today: landing an interview on CBC Radio.

CBC = Canadian Broadcasting Corporation – similar to NPR in the states. I grew up listening to CBC Radio Winnipeg, both for news and local information but also for the funky radio plays they’d run on Sunday nights.

To me the CBC is a big part of Canada’s cultural identity, and since we have very little of that, it’s also really important. It was a really cool to have the opportunity to be a small part of it and see what goes on behind the “magic”.

‘Cause radio really does seem kind of magical to me… Voices transmitted through air right to your ears – originating in a tiny room, yet crossing vast distances. Epic stuff.

Also: a big thank you to Jamie and Lisanne for hooking me up.

Now to work on my next dream: getting on radio again somehow.

Some interesting thoughts from yours truly in a second interview by Phil Cameron. (he seems to have a knack for getting me to talk about deep concepts)

Interview with The Reticule

Alec Holowka — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 17:50:22 +0000

I did an interview with Phill Cameron of “The Reticule”.

Its kind of funny, when you’re in something like making indie games long enough you start to get used to doing interviews. They become an interesting way to examine yourself and what you’re doing. I think with this one, I might finally be on to something – figuring out the kind of games that I’m really interested in making.

…well it meant something to me anyways.

Bytejacker is Cool

Bytejacker, an internet-based video game show, recently covered TIGSource’s latest competition. This competition was all about creating retro “knock-off” versions of existing games, which ended up including Shadow of the Colossus, Team Fortress 2, Fallout, Haze, Aquaria and more! The video does a great job of highlighting some of the coolest games in the competition, so check it out:

In other news, I did a little interview for my buddy Ivan’s new blog: Play-Make.
