Have you ever wondered just what goes on behind the scenes at a video game news, reviews, and editorials website?  Are you curious about the time commitment and what it takes to make a site a success?  Do you want to know how the gaming journalism sausage is made?  Pull up a chair and take out your notepad, for this week on Power Button, Joey Davidson and I asked friend of the show and Kombo colleague Keri Honea to sit in for an absent Brad Hilderbrand so that the three of us can talk about what it takes to run our respective sites.  I own and operate Press The Buttons, of course; Joey is the Editor-in-Chief at Kombo and does some side work for Crave Online; and Keri owns her Strategy Guide Reviews site and co-owns the relatively new Gaming Succubus.  We spent an hour talking shop and inside baseball about how we get the work done on a day to day basis, so if you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes, here's your chance to learn all about it. Download this week's episode directly from PTB, listen with the player below, or subscribe via iTunes, and be sure to catch up on past episodes if you're joining us late. Remember that you can reach all three of us via  and you can even follow on Twitter at @PressTheButtons or for just podcast updates, @ThePowerButton. Note that next week's originally scheduled guest, our old pal Garth Chouteau of PopCap Games, had a last minute schedule conflict, but he'll join us in two weeks to talk about the new version of Plants vs Zombies for the Microsoft Xbox 360 as well as some upcoming titles from PopCap that you probably know little about. Meanwhile, next time Brad returns from moving across state lines and we discuss our top picks from Gamescom.
