Gamescom 2013 is here, and so is our first of five Super Joystiq Podcast Specials.

Alexander, Richard, Jess, and Sinan are in Germany covering the biggest games show of the year, and in traditional fashion, are joined by a group of indie developers. Rami Ismail (Vlambeer), Mike Bithell (Thomas Was Alone), Martin Pichlmair (Secrets of Raetikon), and Kelly Wallick (Indie Megabooth) join the podcast to hit a myriad of topics facing indies in 2013: next-gen developer relations, indie marketing, Steam Greenlight, and much more.

This is also your first chance to win big during The Great Gamescom Podcast Giveaways of 2013! In today's episode, we reveal the password required to enter to win a Razer prize pack, which includes a Carcharias headset, Orbweaver keypad, Naga mouse and Taipan mouse. Instructions for how to enter can be found on this post, and after the break. Be sure to catch each episode every day this week for a new giveaway. See you back here tomorrow!
