Last week I was invited to the Mercenaries 2 Community Day event that took place in LA, California at Pandemic Studios. After the event, I recorded a "Press VS Community" roundtable discussion featuring Deaconblade from (U360), Trina (Gamingangels), Vicious (Talkingaboutgames) & Ryan (Marvel).
This year 2008 has been a big challenge not only for GTR but the community in general. Why gaming companies are changing by not working with indy sites? Are there too many gaming podcasts & blogs? Is this "community" gone too commercial? Are we community or press?
Listen to what we all had to say on this roundtable & let us know your feedback.
This week GTR brings you an exclusive interview with Steve Swasey the Vice President, Corporate Communications from Netflix. He talks about their new partnership with Microsoft for the Fall dashboard update. Also coming this fall is GTR Movie Nights hosted by Feelz Good & Baked Ant.

Also congrats to our friends at SFX360 for their 1 year anniversary event that took place this past weekend. Listen the interview with Ross the founder of the group on GTR live from the party.
