This is the first half of a two hour skype discussion that I had with Meg of The Brilliant Gameologists, Kristin of This Modern Death and Jenn of The Trap Cast.
In it we discuss how we came to gaming, what we’re playing, the bad female gamer stereotypes, the health of my various pets and say “vagina” a lot. Please see the podcast page for links to their various podcasts, or google it. It’s late and I need to get to bed. Enjoy.
Very entertaining. It always bugs me when people bring up “that girl” or “the gamer girlfriend” stereotype. Yes, they’re out there, but I think it gets applied unfairly too often. It doesn’t apply when the person is a gamer or if she is making an honest attempt to participate because she wants to see what a big part of her significant other’s life is all about. I think those two situations are more common than the stereotype.
Interesting episode, though the skype effect tends to sound like every one except you are talking inside a metal can tied by a thread. A bit tough to understand at times… (yeah it’s probably because I’m not natural with English). At the very least I discovered new podcasts to explore and that’s nice.
Part 2 ?? Chop chop ! Should already be online for crying out loud !
Sorry, not a whole lot I could do about that. I’ll be playing with it in the future to see if that can be mitigated.
But not bad for a $20 mike and laptop speakers.
Also, I’m limited in how much I can post per month by what I’m willing to pay for Libsyn.
