Someone on the last post suggested I plug my DDOcast apperance last week, which I … totally should have done.

This week’s show features Ask the Devs #6 along with an interview with Michael Zenke from Massively.com.  Lessah talks about leet speek on ”Know Your Role”, Rowanheal has some thoughts on recent stuff on ”Girl Gamers” and Steiner-Davion looks at Gianthold collectibles on ”Definitive Collectibles.”  There’s also a sketch about the Stormreach Mayoral Election – Goodblade’s Downfall!

This week we’re buried under such a big pile of awesome emails we hunker down and read them all! Shawn tears into The Force Unleashed and rabbit humps Little Big Planet.

(A Misfitin’ 45.3 megs, 1:19:12)Cory Banks, Michael Zenke and Julian Murdoch are in full effect this week while the rest of the gang take a well earned break. Julian has demanded that I mention he even produced the show himself on his new MacBook Air and it only took him five minutes or something. La de da.

Working to get back on track now that I’m home (really really bad travel experience on the way back). To tide you over today, enjoy two of VirginWorlds’ first video presentations, walking and talking with the Brent and Darren over the course of this week in Austin.

Responses to discussion in Shut Up We’re Talking #33:

• Totally agree with Paul on the topic of Buttonmashing’s kids-and-videogames stance. I really respect his decision, it’s all you man, but I personally see that as kind of a negative way of handling that situation. Was glad to hear someone offering that up.
• I’d point out that most bloggers don’t have egos as big as Kendricke, so I think CoW is going to be in a pretty good place.

Gamers with Jobs Conference Call Special Edition – August 14, 2008
D&D 4th Edition design, reception, lessons learned, plans for D&D Insider and more!

Live (sort of) from GenCon, Michael Zenke and Julian Murdoch interview the core design team from Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition.

On this first day of the biggest Role Playing event of the year, Mike Mearls, Lead Designer, Scott Rouse, Senior Brand Manager, and Rob Heinsoo, Lead Mechanical Game Designer from Wizards of the coast, sit down with us to talk about design philosophy, beta testing, the future of D&D Insider and what lies ahead. We dig deep, getting into what’s worked, what’s been a surprise, and what lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Like I need another podcast to listen to. Just the same, I was cheered to see that the folks behind TavernCast have thrown down a gauntlet for themselves, and appear to be cleaving to a regular schedule again. I dropped my subscription soon after the change away from WoW-material, but it was primarily becuase of the loss in quality and regularity. It’s heartening to hear they’re getting back into the groove. I’m planning on reupping, and suggest you do the same.
