S2E3 - Mini Topic Grab Bag - “She is not a Jedi... yet”

Mini Topic Grab Bag


In this episode:


We get so many comments and questions from you guys that we
wanted to take this opportunity to address some of them. We take
notes on them, so we put the ones together that we didn’t think
we’d be able to pull together a full episode around.

The topics we discuss this time are pretty varied, but we
think you will enjoy them--mainly because you suggested them! It
was so much fun recording this episode. So keep those comments
and suggestions coming!



What we talk about:


The uncanny valley in movies, games, and other media

General game design, including pet peeves, the best examples
of single aspects, Bartle’s taxonomy, and the cost of games over
the years.

Digital copies vs physical copies of games

Who’s our favorite Jedi?

Products, games, and media that we just want to love, but
don’t.

Morality in roleplaying games. This turned into a very
interesting discussion about gaming personalities and our
real-life personalities.

Thoughts on Knights of the Old Republic, including KOTOR,
KOTOR 2, and SWTOR.

You know you want to hear our thoughts on Mario Kart. Because
Mario Kart.

We both love cyberpunk. We talk about movies and books and
games. Is Neuromancer really incomprehensible? How many versions
of Blade Runner have we seen? And do androids dream of electric
sheep for real? LISTEN TO FIND OUT!

How have Podcasts and Netflix changed how we watch or listen
to shows, especially based on release schedules?
