Downloadable Conflict: Our Gaming Podcast
So Travis and I decided to make a podcast
about gaming together. The purpose of this podcast is to share our
views, have a dialogue, and hopefully create a dialogue amongst our
listeners about the topics we discuss.
Episode 0 - An Introduction: http://jazzmess.com/dlc/An%20Introduction.mp3
This is the intro episode that is more about us and the concept at large than it is about a particular topic. We discuss our own gaming history and talk a little bit about what we do and do not want the show to be. We wanted to make this a separate show so that if people weren't interested in hearing about us, they could skip it. I think you should listen, though.
Episode 1 - Morality Systems: http://jazzmess.com/dlc/EP1-Morality%20Systems.mp3
This episode is about morality systems; the efficacy, depth, and usefulness in gaming. The initial conclusion...not very much of any. I personally did want to be constructive however, and so we came up with some examples of how it did work, and I personally posit an idea for what could improve them. Also, Travis makes the grave mistake of asking me to explain the genophage - if you don't want a history lesson, you should probably click a little beyond that.
I hope you guys like or at least feel engaged by this project on some level. The one thing our topics will likely always have in common is that they delve on at least some level into the "are games art" discussion that I think we need more of in this community. I really want this to be something that allows gamers to articulate what they want from gaming. As you'll hear, we're obviously just learning the ropes of how exactly to conduct, record and put together a podcast. I thought it was really important to preserve the conversational nature and flow of it, so there are no edits, and no retakes or inserted pieces. Conversations don't have any of these things, after all.
