"Random Good Stuff"
Ah, the coming Winter. Times of chimney smoke, crinkling wrapping paper, late nights with coffee. And gaming, too. Go hang out in a snowy area of your favorite game, go make a virtual snowball and kiss someone with a blast of ice to their arm.
We talk about gaming, True Blood, and Twitter. We have been so busy yapping about so many games, and working on many gaming projects, that we felt like doing a fun show. That's right, a fun show.

Sat, 3 October 2009 Spouse Aggro #89 "Wiz 101 Wins Why? and GDC Wrap-up." Yeh, yeh, we know. It's been a month. But during that month, we got out more articles, reviews and blog posts than we have done before. The audio podcast is just part of the larger picture of Spouse Aggro/Turkey Inc. We talk for an hour about Wizard 101 and how it might have achieved such success, and talk for a while about the general vibe from GDC. Developers seemed to be in two camps: those that were scared of Blizzard and those that made games that had nothing to do with the standard subscription based model and so were doing very well. It's something to consider: why do some of these games do it while others fail? Write us, or send in a segment. Call the phone line and leave a comment: 972-535-8867 Enjoy!

Mon, 7 September 2009 Spouse Aggro #88: "Innovations and Toast."This week we talk for the duration of time it takes for the toast to settle in our tum-tums to talk about innovation, and I'm using Free Realms specifically to talk about a product and company that is innovative. Many players seem to think that Free Realms is nothing new, because it is doing what a lot of MMO's actually already are doing, meaning locking people into instances to run around a mini-game. But, I am talking about delivery and style. If players underestimate delivery and style, then they need to re-define what success means. My wrists hurt, please listen. Write us, or send in a segment.

Sat, 29 August 2009 Spouse Aggro #87" A brunch with The Historian. A brunch with lasers." I sit down with Acclaim's wonderful and nerdy Community Manager named "The Historian" for a 30 minute chat about The Chronicles of Spellborn, community management, and collecting Atari consoles. I plan on doing more of these developer/community/insider interviews...just 30 minutes, some chat and a little bit of an inside look into these games we love. I would LOVE to get one of the developers of Spellborn on the show, to chat about the wonderful art, music and game-play of that game, but we'll see! :) Write us, or send in a segment.

Fri, 28 August 2009 *EXPLICIT*Me and Leala have discussed things for a while, and decided to break away from Virgin Worlds. This does not mean, in any way, shape or form, that we have any issues with Brent or the site. This is simply about having direct control over when our file goes up, and access to all sorts of information about the files. I cannot even begin to thank Brent for his contribution to not only Virginworlds, but to us as well, and for setting a bar for podcasting that, to this day, is a very high bar. This is a matter of spreading ourselve a little thin, as well, being that mmovoices.ning.com is taking over some of our time, along with writing for various sites and planning travel to games conventions. We would like to tell people that if you normally get our podcast off of iTunes, that this current file in this current post is on a NEW feed, but we will be receiving the old feed soon. In other words, you might not see this podcast updated in iTunes. This is just a temporary holding area because we needed to get this show out before we recorded another. We finished it a while ago, and want to get the Blizzcon stuff out of the way and also do not want to be so late to the party. Anyway, there it is. We will see you on the old feed as soon as we get control of it, and thank you for all your support. And of course, thanks MORE THAN WE COULD EVER TYPE to ViriginWorlds.com!!!!! -----------------------------------NOTES---------------------------------------------------------- Me and Leala sit down WITHOUT food (trying to keep the chomping noise down) to talk all about all the really cool stuff that was announced at Blizzcon. Needless to say, Blizzard wins again. Then, I get to run down my list of really cool games that I am playing, beta'ing and looking forward to. I want all of you, yes ALL of you, to try these games and call the number with your thoughts! And I wanted to add on to the show my interview with Mark and Steve from Ablegamers.com. I thought I would save it for the next show, but I wanted to get the interview out there. I'm so excited to be dealing with their site, so go visit it at ablegamers.com!! 972-535-8867 Enjoy!

Tue, 11 August 2009 *EXPLICIT*Me and Leala review the new documentary called "Second Skin," which basically talks about crazy weird nerds and their obsession for games. By review I mean that Leala talks over Beau and crushes him with her points. Beau eats chocolate the entire time. Enjoy, and let us know what you think of the movie! Write us, or send in a segment.

Tue, 28 July 2009 You know, there are pod-casters out there that think it is cool to talk
in a "radio guy" voice, or to play music the entire time in the
background, or to not only whine about a game over and over, but to
whine about a game you don't really play. We talk about one of those
guys. Those guys seem to think that there are rules to follow in this
hobby, which is mind-boggling to me. How boring. We talk about Mabinogi's flying mount switch-a-roo, play a bit of Elvis, and discuss Ecks Bocks and if it is indeed fun. It has proven painful to me more than anything. Write us, or send in a segment. Call the phone line and leave a comment: 972-535-8867 Enjoy! Send emails to spouseaggro at yahoo dot com.

Thu, 16 July 2009 We record at home this time, and I freakin' LOVE it. The little iPhone
mic picks up things so well, it's really as good as some of the other
mics I have tried.It's so good that you can hear what sounds like our smacking, but since that grosses people out we have been so careful about it that I was surprised to hear that on the recording. It's the salad, I found out. Crunching, wet...sloppy. SALAD. We chat about Leala's guild drama. She cries, we start to have a mental breakdown and then I shoot one of the dogs. Normal stuff. Enjoy!

Mon, 6 July 2009 Spouse Aggro #82: Live, Living and Love for the last 10 years!Me and Leala crack open the live experience again, complete with a half-arsed web-cam mic, a room full of friends and technical difficulties. Every time we switch virtual recording studios, we take a bit to adjust. Forgive us? Leala has moved on from her podcast, and will continue to co-host SA with me. I have decided to host a Free Realms podcast (it helps keep me normal) but have no plans to let Spouse Aggro go anytime soon. Spouse Aggro is a mutant, always changing, and I love it. We talk about the last 10 years of gaming and what we might have learned from it. Next live show (watch for announcement) should be better, technically. Learning processes people, learning processes.

Tue, 30 June 2009 I interview my buddy Burtimus, who has a beard.He kept incredible notes from Fan Faire, and has attended the convention for the last 3 years. He goes over all the Vanguard panels, and gives his impressions on what he heard. He will come back on to cover more of the things he heard at FF, cool things from other games. Excuse the sound, and the mess-ups. Me and the wife are making a slow transition into live recording, and even slower into live video recording. During recording, I had a small house-fire, barking dogs, spilt beer and message pop-ups messing with my ability to actually talk like a normal person. But, we get it done. Burt rules, and gives out some great VG info. Interestingly, Silius commented on the forums to not blame SOE for the lack of mention in Smed's address: "In regards to not being mentioned at the keynote speech I am asking that you guys please not read into it. I will take the blame for it as we just did not have anything prepared to go up there with and preparing for Fan Faire was not in the forefront of my mind this year as I tried to get settled. If you are going to get angry at someone please get mad at me but please do not assume it means the SOE does not like VG. There are some talented people on this project and if SOE did not care about VG then they would take that talent and use it somewhere else." Of course, this now means that players will have protest signatures that say "Fire SILIUS" instead of "BOYCOTT SOE," but either way it is entertaining. Enjoy!
