Too Human, Some E3 Thoughts, An Interview With Dr. Horrible's Felicia Day, Batman, Your Emails and more!
(A Horrible 51.7 megs, 1:53:08)
This week, we reminisce about the wonder that was Dr. Horrible with geek-heartthrob Felicia Day. She does a little dance with Rabbit about why humor is so freaking hard, and what she's really looking for in a ... game.

Seriously? Felicia freakin Day?
Jesus Hoppity Christmas, Rabbit. I'm expecting to see you in Wired or Entertainment Weekly any day now with the string of interviews you're racking up.

I know I have made some comments in the past you may not have been fond of. I really do love the conference call, just wanted you to know that. I'm saving this one for work tomorrow.

Oh dear. Please tell me Elysium didn't sing, "I Want To Friend You Up."

I was just thinking about Dr. Horrible when I hit the refresh button, and Felicia Day jumped from my thought onto the screen. She's a gamer?

Oh, just you wait. Girl's got mad gaming cred.
I felt -- I feel -- that Shawn, Rob and Julian were making out with the game, and as their friend I felt it was important to point out that they were making out with an ugly chick. - Cory Banks, keeping it real
Wow.
We moving on up
to that deluxe apartment in the sky.

I retracted so quickly last night that my butt flew off. I then had to eat my butt to get it to reattach. Then I pooped out a sheep. - Sephirotic

Oh, you have to check out The Guild. She created and wrote most of it, and she just plain gets it.
Nice work, Rabbit. *seethes with jealousy*
It's not enough to bash in heads, you've got to bash in minds.
Hot.

It's like we're legit or something, I swear.
Yet even then we ran like the wind,
whilst our laughter echoed under cerulean skies...

Oh, I feel all of you guys will try Alone in the Dark now -- except the MMO addict. Seriously man! play something else for at least 2 hours a week, I don't know!
No but seriously about the part in the car with the bats, it says ''drive into things OR drive really fast'' to shake them off, so you don't *have* to run into things. I made the same mistake you did and ran into a bunch of sh*t before I realized that if I go fast enough it'll shake them off.

I'm in love.
Also with Felicia Day.
Another wonderful, intelligent interview from Mr Murdoch.
It will do good to heart and head

And I will friend you, if I may,

I am in awe.
Plain and simple.

Thanks for the link to The Guild, I'd never seen it before. I just sat and watched the first 6 episodes back-to-back and really enjoyed it.
As one of the two Australians who plays/pays for games, it's pleasing to hear such nice things said about the place; but having all the women talk with Australian accents is not quite as alluring as you guys make out.
As for the pricing of games and gaming hardware here, it's a comparatively small market, the prices have traditionally been set by overseas headquarters, and the value of the Aussie dollar (formerly called the Pacific Peso) bounces around like a super-rubber ball. Consumer goods are almost always more expensive here and that's just the way it is.
I also want to applaud both Elysium's and rabbit's statements regarding game piracy. It's not my intention to inflame the issue or provoke a discussion, but after hearing your opinions on the podcast, and afterwards checking out the Escapist piece (and attendant
vitriolcomments!), I just wanted to say that I have long shared your view and wished that it was more popular. And, no, while I am certainly a tool, I'm not a tool of the industry.May I see your wife wavers? You know you had to get them signed by your wives before you could interview a hottie like her.

Fantastic interview. 'The guild' is great. It's brilliant to hear she is such an enthusiastic gamer.
I've actually watched a lot of tournament films for one particular game (you'll never guess.) Myth could record films for games. Every year the fans held a tournament called Myth World Cup. There were reviews for all matches (in theory anyway. It tended to break down after a while) and the films were posted. Myth had unique attributes that helped make the games easy to watch. It was always slow paced, so you could follow the action. You could keep track of everyone in the game (unlike first person shooters when you can only ever see part of the action) and the fight weren't just a swirling scrum of friendly and enemy units.

I didn't even realize E3 was happening till I got back from the Austin Slap and Tickle. Goes to show you how far it's fallen as I've always followed most trade shows.
