Podtoid 41 tonight, we’re gonna talk about characters and stuff

As always, it’s time for another Podtoid and, as always, we’re inadvertently trying something new this time around: rather than spending two hours focusing on recent news stories and bitching out America’s conservatives, we’re going to (more or less) just stick to one subject.

We’re going to continue one of our discussions from last week — namely, what makes a memorable gaming character? Why do we like some and hate others? How do great characters influence the gameplay, and vice-versa? Is Halo, in fact, a pretty cool guy?

This single-minded devotion to one issue doesn’t mean we don’t wanna hear some damn reader questions, though: hit the comments, and earn the chance to win 25 smackers.
