Episode 17: Animal Attraction

When we saw Stubborn‘s series on couples and gaming, right away we thought “What a great show idea!”. A few e-mails and a Skype phone call later and we were recording this episode with none other than Stubborn himself.

We spend this episode delving into Stubborn’s posts, discussing tips for gaming couples, couple archetypes, and how to deal with different relationship dynamics in a guild or raid setting. And, of course, we take the time to share what we have been up to these past few weeks, our latest gaming adventures and, yes, our backup plans for BlizzCon.

As a side note, as I was editing the show, I was pretty amused to hear myself rant about the single gamer’s perspective of couples, when very shortly after recording, I suddenly became not-so-single. (Which also had a lot to do with the delay in getting this episode out!)

Episode 11: Fly On The Wall

After the whirlwinds that were our busy last few episodes, we take some time to kick back and chit chat the way that we always do when we’re on the phone with each other.   Except that we had the record button on, which led to a podcast episode.

Instead of a theme and a relatively organized plan, we ramble on about Blizzcon, our current gaming status, buying pets with WoW gold from people who bought them with IRL gold and, more importantly, whether it’s appropriate to hook up with your Twitter/blog followers.

And!

You might notice some music at the beginning of the podcast which isn’t our usual Bond theme. You might also notice a voice that belongs to neither Oestrus nor I.   That’s because it’s nomination time for the Stopies!

The Stopies are an opportunity to give a shoutout to your favorite podcasters within the Gaming Community and to celebrate the work that’s being done throughout the Gaming Podcastosphere.
