So, a few of my colleagues and I that contribute regularly to the Moving Pixels blog decided to experiment a bit with the spoken (rather than the written) word. We have recorded several podcasts for the past month or so with an eye to possibly starting a regular feature on PopMatters in which we discuss games in (hopefully) interesting and thoughtful ways.We certainly aren't the only ones that have done so. The Brainy Gamer features podcasts on a semi-regular basis as do the fellows over at the Experience Points blog (both of which I listen to with some regularity). Our idea was to launch some episodes in the form of a "mini-series" that would feature us taking on a larger topic (in the case of our first half dozen podcasts -- storytelling in games) and run with ideas about the topic for several weeks.
Our inaugural episode features a conversation between Rick Dakan, Nick Dinicola, Thomas Cross, and myself and can be found here:
Moving Pixels Podcast: The Role of Story in Video Games
This was awesome. I saw this on reddit today, and I thought it fit into this kind of subtle story telling that regular gamers can miss.
