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 117!

Our guest this week is Tipa from West Karna.  Tipa, Fran and Julie sit down to discuss emergent gameplay and why Funcom took a slide.

1.     EA goes on the block while the getting is good

2.     DayZ stands alone

3.     MMOs movin’ on/Funcom take’s chances

4.     Shipping F2P/getting smarter

5.     A funny thing happened on the way to the forums

6.     Emergent game play

7.     Get emotional with the flashlight of doom.

8.     What does it take to get you to come back to Eve?

9.     Life Onabridged: A bridge not too far

Welcome to Show 115

This week we have a special guest – the Disney of Steampunk, the founder of Teslacon, Lord Bobbins.  Instead of playing an adventure on a computer Teslacon is an immersive convention that lets you step back into the Victorian age and live the adventure of a virtual trip to the moon!  This year there will be an attempt to set a world record. There will be brass bands. When Lord Bobbins is in his alter ego he is known as Eric Larson, who has done 22 conventions as well as working on the Star Wars movie, at Pixar and at Disney.
