What’s inside this episode:

• Host Omaha Sternberg and co-host Peter Cohen of The Loop talk about the week’s news in Mac and iOS gaming. Valve announced Dota 2 last week, but now they are seeking to trademark the word “Dota”. This has caused confusion to some, anger to others. Omaha and Peter discuss the ramifications of this move, and how it might end.
• Ten years ago, Bungie needed money. They asked Apple, but Microsoft bought them. Rumor has it that Steve Jobs got pissed. What would Apple have been like if they had not turned Bungie down? How will this inform any decision Apple makes for rumored company purchases now?
• The Independent Games Festival (IGF) has released their submission list, and it’s almost 400 games long! Omaha and Peter chat about some of the games in the list, and why you might want to take a look too.
• Wolfire Games gave a hint about another Humble Indie Bundle. Will there be a HIB2? How will the Mac App Store impact Indie sales events like this?
• Omaha announces the results of last week’s iGame Radio poll, and Omaha and Peter talk about games released, soon to be released, and that they’ve played.
