No Prisoners, No Mercy
There comes a time, friends, when your favorite MMO ceases to sparkle, when even new videogames lose their luster, and the computer room becomes a prison; and all that is left are two gamers (who happen to be nuns) with a very large axe to grind. Come join Julie Whitefeather and Frances Kosac as they discuss the events in the videogame industry.

Welcome to Show 140!

This time we welcome Saylah from Mystic Worlds back to the show to talk about about the news of the day.   This time out the main topics of discussion are paying to not play and Elder Scrolls Online.  Total topics are below.

See you online,

Julie and Fran

1. Paying for not playing, let me know if I had a good time.

2.  EQ Landmark - when is a game not a game? When there is no game play.  

3. Playing to get paid, Empty Landmarks.

3.  Elder Scrolls Online - Have it our way. Skyrim is about You, Elder Scrolls Online is about everyone. Everything old is old again. 

4. Star Citizen - drinking the Koolaide, the giant on the horizon.

5. Women in the military.

6. Virtual reality sickness
