Now, we already covered sister site Gamasutra's trip to Microsoft's GameFest earlier this week, but there's a whole bunch of other GSW-worthy content we put up this week on other CMP Game Group sites, so I thought I'd whip through it quickly - simple quotes and deks follow:

- The Tao Of Id - Kevin Cloud, Steve Nix Talk Tech, Future Of PC: "Legendary Texan developer id Software is making major plans for engine licensing with id Tech 5, and Gamasutra sat down with co-owner Kevin Cloud and biz dev director Steve Nix to discuss them alongside the future of PC gaming, DS and mobile efforts, and much more."

- Q&A: Kongregate's Greer On Funding The Flash Renaissance: "Gamasutra has been quizzing Jim Greer, co-founder and CEO of Flash gaming portal Kongregate, following the company's new round of VC funding - how are initially free Flash games meant to make significant money, what royalties does the site take, and what are 'premium developers'? Answers within..."

- The State Of Korea: Console Games: "Following his earlier look at the bustling South Korean PC gaming market, journalist Nick Rumas turns his attention to the country's console prospects, revealing exclusive data on the burgeoning nation's Sony past and... Nintendo future?"

- Q&A: Red Mile's Chester Aldridge Talks Sin City, Jackass: "In this exclusive Gamasutra Q&A, Chester Aldridge, CEO of Sausalito, California based publisher Red Mile (GripShift) details plans and expectations for the company's forthcoming Jackass: The Game, and talks collaborations with Frank Miller on its recently-signed Sin City IP."

- Edinburgh, Pt.1: Finally, at the beginning of the week, the Edinburgh International Festival had a bunch of intriguing content, and Gama had a man there covering it - from Endemol on 'virtual reality TV' through Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot waxing lyrical on a bunch of subjects, through Sony on 'Home', Linden and CCP on online worlds, and the BBC's Simon Nelson on a more 'playful' interactive vision - for starters!

- Edinburgh Vs. LazyTown?: But the most vital and exciting EIF news of the week? In the lecture from CCP CEO Hilmar Petursson, he "...explaining that the Iceland-based developer was originally founded a decade ago 'in a space that didn't really exist at the point in time,' also noting that when it was first founded it worked on Icelandic children's TV show LazyTown to fund its startup." Wow, a space-based connection to 'You Are A Pirate'? We never guessed!
