2PS Podcast 2

Join us in our second episode as we discuss counter-gaming and spiral into profundity!

Link-Laden Show Notes:

• PlayStation Home
• 4chan and Habbo Hotel.  Interesting side note: apparently, the people who run Habbo responded to 4chan’s raids by removing the pool.  Also, how can you go wrong with a local news report about 4chan?
• Minecraft
• Spore penis monsters
• Garry’s Mod
• A fascinating article that you must read: ‘City of Heroes’ character ‘Twixt’ becomes game’s most hated outcast courtesy of Loyola professor.
• WoW funeral attack.
• J. Arthur Keenes’s page

2PS Podcast 1

Here’s to thoughtful discussion and awesome stories!  In our inaugural episode we talk about different types of difficult games and why we enjoy them.  Tune in for:

– Witty banter, sultry tones and a killer chiptune.

– The Mac ‘N Cheese / canned tuna metaphor, and why it doesn’t apply to Demon’s Souls

– Differing opinions on Don’t Look Back

– Killing the things we love a la Edgar Allan Poe

We will be on iTunes as soon as we’re approved — it might be a couple of days.  In the meantime, though, enjoy some embedded goodness and let us know what you think in the comments or at secondpersonshooter@gmail.com.  Don’t hesitate to send us questions, topic suggestions, or weak-kneed fan-mail.

A big thank you to J. Arthur Keenes for letting us use his excellent song.  It’s called “Colour Television”. (The full stop goes on the outside because it’s British spelling.)  Here’s a link to the song: http://8bitcollective.com/music/J.+Arthur+Keenes/Colour+Television/, and here is a link to more of his music: http://8bitcollective.com/members/J.+Arthur+Keenes/.
