"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!

Tue, 16 June 2009  Italian Albanians, Darkon and DARKFALL REVIEW-ish.WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT. WE SAY THE S WORD AND THE GD WORD. SO, so...SO, we like, went to one of our favorite Italian restaurants to catch some lunch, and lo and behold the crowd was small so it was the perfect time to record! We were halfway through a very poop-filled weekend, thanks to a tornado, a backed up sewer line and tree branches in the yard. Needless to say, it was hot, sticky and not a very good time to record. Yet, we did 'cuz we are hardcore. We are talking about Darkfall, and I go a bit more into some of my reasons for liking it and disliking it. I will still give it much more time, but at this point I am not sure I will re-sub after this month. Great game, needs some work, and we talk about it. Then we review Darkon, a documentary about LARPers. You can watch it for free on Hulu right now, and if you are worried about "spoilers," skip our review until after you watch it. The music from the show is from Jimmy Eat World (not bad for older emo dudes,) Neil Young, some dude named Bach and a band called Pink Floyd. You'll recognize the songs, I hope. Let us know if you prefer the music coming from better known artists or if I should go back to indie chicks. I like indie chicks, but after a while they all start to sound too breathy. Sad, but breathy. Enjoy, and contact us: Send emails to spouseaggro at yahoo dot com. Website found at spouseaggro dot com. Twitter name: spouseaggro Skype name: beauturkey Now GO LOG IN!

Wed, 10 June 2009 SO, this week we visit resident old-person hangout Cracker Barrel for authentic 1872 cooking. Well, 1972 at least. Our waitress was named Cheetara,
but she didn't have a one-piece on or a baton weapon. I had the hots
for Cheetara when I was a kid, but never beyond my feelings for Jessica
Rabbit. The setting was perfect to ask the question: "Am I too old for this?" So, are we? Why do we play these games set in fantasy worlds beyond imagination? Why do we play for several hours during the week, some of us playing more than we work? Why do some of us avoid "real life" activities like going out to dinner so that we can order pizza and log in? Isn't this something that only children are supposed to do? Or are we adults just children ACTING like adults? Do we have such adult thoughts all the time that we never think the same thoughts we did as a kid? Our songs this week are perfect for the show: "Young Americans" by David Bowie, "American Girl" by Tom Petty and, for some weird reason, "Working for the Weekend" by Loverboy. Please, parents, take no offense when I say that children have, essentially, taken all the fun out of the house. If that's the case, someone needs to tell my friends like Shuttler and Cindy that they are not having fun. Because those two are having a BLAST. So STOP IT. You HAVE CHILDREN. I'm kidding. Next week we are going to record the "Darkfall Preview" show. At the time of this recording I had not tried it, but have since. Enjoy, and contact us: Send emails to spouseaggro at yahoo dot com.

Thu, 4 June 2009 This week we take a step outside of one of our favorite breakfast spots
and enjoy lot's of cars, smog and birds going CAWWWWW CAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!We are discussing my blog that I wrote in which I told stuffy people to go stuff it when over-analyzing Free Realms. But let's be clear: Van Hemlock are not the ones I meant. Van Hemlock can over-analyze a tack and it would be good to listen to. I was simply talking to about 5 or 6 very specific bloggers/podcasters that said such silly things as "...the quests are typical MMO drivel..." and "..the game reminded me of a more grindy WoW." For the record, I was in not referencing Syncaine, but did so in the show because he came over to my blog and commented on why he thought the 2 million user announcement was "funny." (As though he caught SOE red-handed at some kind of cover-up.) Syn is actually a fun guy to argue with, because he is the ANTI-me, he is a RULE-player while I am a ROLE-player. He follows the rules, let's games tell him what to do and thinks that anything outside of those rules counts for nothing. All these rules set in lands that are populated by monsters and faeries, strangely enough. Still, I can see what he means. But you can find the "evil cover-up" in anything done by any corporation, because the purpose of a large corporation is to make money. There is no cutting off point. But that's not evil, really, that's just life. So I was addressing weird blogger/podcaster people that seem to think they are holding gaming companies to task, or think that their whining and bitching makes some kind of difference. Even if their whining and bitching influenced a decision at a gaming company, that is neat, but not something to use as a life goal. Again, we are talking about VIDEO GAMES here. Video games are meant to be enjoyed. If you do not enjoy them to the point that you are always bitching about them (a little bitching is healthy and normal), you are weird. Get a hobby that you LIKE. Now, enjoy the show. I wish we would have taken a picture of the tan lady, being that she seriously looked like she had a problem. I am a funny looking guy, and don't judge people on their looks, but this lady was so tan that she was obviously addicted. The music on the show comes from all sorts of sources. the jazz tune being from a dude named Paul Bley. The song was called "Time will Tell." I love stuff like that, to a point. I want to buy the soundtrack from the movie "Naked Lunch" based on the book by Billy Burroughs. Then I threw in the beginning "song" from Anarchy Online, one of the BEST ways to fade into game-play in any MMO. Also, got a lil piano in there from the movie "Amelie."

Tue, 26 May 2009 "Isle of Dawn, Filthy Pigs and YOU"So yeh, I lost the pic of our food. It looked delicious, trust me. Me and Leala decided to talk a bit about Vanguards' trial and if we prefer quests in which you do crap or just really challenging stuff that makes you like die 200 times. (Good times?) Essentially, I like to "do things" in game. I am kind of always role-playing, in the way that I take little breaks for my character, read everything and still use UI Immersion Project rules. But, quests that are just "doing stuff" don't last as long as quests in which you have to kill 4000 mobs, so how does a developer stop players from burning through thier much cooler, yet shorter, content? Who knows. I ain't a dev.. Not yet. The rain and "Dink!....Dink!..." sound comes from Mabinogi. I was standing near the blacksmith, hiding out from the rain. The sounds were nice. If you would like to record your in game sound, go get Audacity, hit "What U Hear" as your source, and send the MP3 to us so we can include it in our show! The music this week comes from some weirdo band called "Bats for Lashes." Kinda' gothy, I guess. The song is a Cure cover from my youth. Well, the cover is not from my youth, but the original is. We used to love the Cure! Send emails to spouseaggro at yahoo dot com. Website found at spouseaggro dot com. Twitter name: spouseaggro Skype name: beauturkey Now GO LOG IN! The Turkeys Comments[0] |

"Brisket, MMO's, avatars and YOU" MMmmmmMMmm, here's what we ordered, and here's the BOOB CRAB! So, we decided to go have some BBQ for dinner. Beau is seriously considering becoming a vegetarian. Seriously...but AFTER this meal. Some beef, some beers, and some good MMO chatter. We are discussing avatars and how that might give a clue to who is behind the avatar. We use Shut Up We're Talking (a great VW podcast) as a jumping point. Then, this crazy young girl comes up and makes us a crab. A boob crab. She was very nice, and I felt bad that I had no cash for a tip. Then I felt bad because I indicated that her crab looked like it had boobs. Then one of his legs popped. I liked it. The part where we go "yayyyy" reminds me of A Christmas Story, the scene in the Chinese restaurant at the end. You know the part...the guy chops off the ducks head and the family goes "YAYYYY!" The sound of the crickets and stuff was from Beau playing Vanguard. I love background sounds...ambience. Send in your games' sounds and we'll pop it in a break! Who likes music? DUH...me. This weeks song is by one of my current sad song fav's: A Fine Frenzy. The song is called "Near to You." Send emails to spouseaggro at yahoo dot com. Website found at spouseaggro dot com.

Sun, 10 May 2009 "Breakfast Supper"The Highlights from show 75! Beau and Leala break a bit of the mold as they have breakfast at 6 o'clock at night. They venture to a local iHOP (like iPhone, 'cept breakfast) that serves crazy piles of strawberry pancakes and watermelon muffins topped with entire whole halves of a pig. A lady with a noisy kid shows up and stays actually pretty quiet, we order food and discuss Free Realms and how people think it is a "kids game." We are always looking for locations to record in, and some record better than others. This location does pretty well, sounds better on headphones, and the background noise gets quieter later in the show. We appreciate any patience as we work out not only places to record, but the shows format. I want the show to be a slice from the lives of two MMO gamers. This is how we talk, this is what we talk about. Look! More music. This weeks sad music comes from Azure Ray, a suggestion from a Twitter friend. Go here to watch one of those videos that a fan makes of a still picture with the song in the background. And, of course, the "video" gets like 200k views. That's the internet for ya.

Thu, 30 April 2009 "Breakfast Raiding and Runes of Magic!"The Highlights from show 74! 1) Beau and Leala welcome you to one of their favorite, and quieter, breakfast places. It's on main street. While it does get annoying when the after-church crowd shows up with their pent up loud kids, the place has good donuts. We talk about raiding and some of the issues Leala has been facing lately. (Hint: Crawl is a noob! hehe) 2) Then, sit in with Riknas from the Free 2 Play podcast, Troy from Travels with Troy, Shawn from Massively and someone's mother as they play Runes of Magic live. Instead of doing a typical edit (since we were all over the place,) I pushed all sorts of clips together to see how they sound. Funny? Yes, if you recognize how a bunch of dudes joke around! Look! Music? Of course. You will recognize all the small clips of songs, but our main theme this week was from Imogen Heap, and her song was called "Hide and Seek." Cool stuff.

Mon, 20 April 2009 "Developer Transparency!.."The Highlights from show 73! 1) Shuttler gives us an intro. He likes apples? In grits? 2) Beau and Leala discuss a Ryzom thread that brought up the question: "Are developers transparent enough?" No, not see through. You know, like, do they communicate with their players? 3) The Couple of The Year talk a bit about beta's. 4) A little talk about what Beau and Leala have been playing (bad beta's, WoW, and too many games.) Look! Beau didn't forget to link the music notes!! Here's the artist, a lady named Ingrid Michaelson. The song is called "Corner of Your Heart." Good stuff. And yes, I KNOW that song was on that turd of a show called "Grey's Anatomy." Ok, I haven't seen it, but South Park made fun of it, so like, I have to think it's totally bad, mmkay?

Here's the topics: 1) Beau is worried that his free to play obsession will lead to saving money and more breakfasts! 2) We define what "WoW tourist" means and why in the hell anyone would want to use such a stupid term. 3) Leala asks Beau why he hates raiding, which is not true.

We miss a lot and hit on target a lot. Try it sometime, it's hard to get it all in there in 3 minutes. I seriously messed up the VG topic, being that I had been reading about it for the last week and it clouded my brain with visions of numbers and pink dresses. 1) Spellborn Open Beta 2) Vanguard RMT 3) Ether Saga Open Beta 4) Mabinogi Anniversary 5) Ryzom live events, patches! 6) WoW meetup - http://www.meetup.com/armory/ 7) Runes of Magic begins! 8) Darkfall exists. 9) DOMO and gay marriage 10) Free Realms, still ignoring us. Here is Tipas blog, a good place for Spellborn stuff (besides mine, of course.) And here is Saylahs blog, a good place for ROM stuff. Send emails to spouseaggro at yahoo dot com.

Leala has a stroke while trying to wrap her head around the concepts of a F2P game, and Beau strains to convince Leala that the game is fantastic. Trust him. *33:30-48:17: The Great Couple of Dorkdom have a discussion about Home Games, or games that a player will always hold within their hearts, much like a Celine Dion song.. *48:26-1:18:44: Double Date! Beau and Leala interview Augustina and Heyoka, and make a few fart jokes while they're at it. *1:19:00-1:32:00: What did we play this week? GAMES, fool. We give a rundown. The music from the show is brought to you from the band Metric. The song is called "The Twist." Very sexah! Here is the Onion video Beau mentions.

Sat, 21 February 2009 "Darkfall Fuddy Duddy!"The Highlights from show 69! * Leala and Beau get all gripey for like, the second time in their life about Darkfall, a new really old game that might finally see the light of day. (Leala shows her fuddy duddy side.) The game has some VERY interesting gameplay (it looks like) alongside annoying interactions with 17 year olds. This is a discussion as much about different types of game-play as it is about a game that will probably never be released. Here is the article from MMORPG.com (actually, it is from ANOTHER site, MMORPG just linked it. pppsshhh! Figures) that we are discussing. Here are the stats for Beau and Leala's first PC.

Mon, 5 January 2009 The Highlights from show 666!* Beau goes over his feelings for The Chronicles of Spellborn, a game that he has spied on longer than he can remember. (sidenote) Beau forgot to go over sound in Spellborn, which is incredible. Beautiful sounds of wind and nature, and incredible music. A little more than ambient, and even though a lot of the music is composed with strings and classic instruments, you can tell some of the sounds were done with a keyboard. This gives the game a feel of Sci-fi, without the aliens, blue people and ray guns. The sound design is amazing. Also, some Goth band did a video for a song that is now my guilty pleasure song. * What have we been playing this week/weeks? * Our New Years gaming resolutions!
