With respect to the call to conservatives in the podcast, this conservative has been a hardcore gamer since the days of the Atari 2600 (if that particular console can be called hardcore), thinks that Jack Thompson is a fscking moron, thinks that gaming has little to no affect on people killing others (hell, even Rush Limbaugh agrees with that!), regularly engages in violent 1st person shooters, AND fully supports the military.
Those who condemn games as violent and support government intervention with respect to games and l-u-r-v-e the military are not conservatives, particularly within the Washington beltway. They're just short-sighted opportunists. Please don't paint all conservatives with the same broad brush.
Just my two cents.

By the way, I wasn't offended or anything. I know that you guys were just being your normal smart asses and I took it that way. Unfortunately, that doesn't come across in a two-dimensional post. :)
I would absolutely love to see a new "Wing Commander" using modern hardware and physics engines, particularly now with so many people used to air physics in space games as opposed to the Newtonian physics that they used in "WC". I can just imagine how many people would be yelling, "Wait! I turned my ship around! Why am I still going in the same direction!" :)
Hell, you guys could make an entire episode just talking about the awesome game companies that were shredded into oblivion when they were bought out by EA: Origin, Bullfrog, Maxis...

John B makes an excellent point. First off, Jack Thompson is a lone nut, he speaks for nobody.
But, you know, people forget that over the last 40 years, most of the censorship has come from the left. Look at which of our government representatives support regulation of video games; Joe Leiberman and Hillary Clinton.
Regulation and censorship is primarily a problem from the left, so kindly place the blame where it belongs.

Hey guys, agree with you completely on the awesomeness that is the Orange Box, but totally opposite of you on Okami. This is a game made for the Wii, even if the motion controls would only be in use for a small portion of the total experience. You guys may be interested in our most recent podcast over at http://ozone.libsyn.com/ where we talk about the Orange Box and the console wars in general.
