Summary
Our special guest cohost this episode is Mythos Engineer, aka Terr! We have a great time recording our show intercontinental style, in a true demonstration of trans-Atlantic bridge-building. Or burning. Alright, fine. The audio quality’s sketchy here and there, but random asides about WoW, Warhammer, EverQuest (1 and 2), and even Ultima pepper a fun show covering everything from gas-dispensing Game Boys to vibrating controller “games”. BONUS: Lots of outtakes! Big thanks to Terr!

I know, I know, this is supposed to be a site and podcast devoted to MMOs; but as you’re well aware, our illustrious hosts are quite fond of crossing-over and talking about their love of consoles. While trolling the internet this morning, I came across this lovely infographic developed by Online Education that has some pretty interesting statistics. Two that caught my eye were that consoles out-sell PCs 4 to 1, and that Wii Sports is the number one selling video game. Does this account for each time someone purchases a Wii console that contains a free copy of Wii Sports? The stat that 2 out of 5 gamers is a female is pretty cool too. Anyway, the numbers got me wondering if the graphic was representative of our readers. So, without creating the most complex poll ever, we’d like to see some of your console stats in the comments regarding: your age; your gender; your primary console; if you’ve been gaming more than 2 years; the number of hours per week you game; if your console failed in its first two years (Mark); the breakdown of the games you buy by maturity level; or hell, if you even give a crap about consoles. Inquiring minds want to know!

The tourism bandwagon has been rumbling down the mountain for a couple months (well, more, if you count Mark’s curious lifetime subscription to Champions Online… yes… curious), and as it rolled past, I decided, “what the hell?!” and jumped on. In other words, I decided to preorder Star Trek Online. (For all those wondering: Amazon.com preorder bonus all the way. I can customize my ship nine ways to Sunday, making the Constitution class preorder bonus less appealing, but there’s no guarantee of a Borg officer like with Amazon.) It’s not lost on me that just last week I wrote how I am hesitant to get a new MMO when I can’t try it out post-release. That’s why my latest tourism bandwagon hop on is a bit last-minute. Perhaps if I don’t like the open beta I’ll cancel my order– can I even do that?
I’m not too concerned. But, lo, the kids on the forums sure are. Read more »
