Episode 33- A Gamer’s Mentality

Heya folks Kal here with the topic of gaming mentality. What do I mean by that? Well delved into it a little last week but honestly want to say my piece on gamers who think they are so above others, to me they are just as bad as those who do not get it and try to stop adults who game from enjoying their pass time. I mean it really ticks me off to no end to see people who game who make it a point to post daily in a gaming forums act like they are so much better then “proffessional gamers” and mock said players. I really think this and other attitudes from my fellow gamers need a real time addressing.

Another side discussion MMO’s are they becoming stand alone versus group? I will also talk about my week in gaming, star wars romance yay or nay? Walking dead returns Sunday, will be planning a show to talk about the Genre with my good friend Bekki and Lesliewest Guitar hero soon. Also in this cast,Gaming news, and Arm Chair Developer: Turbine where the heck is my ability to craft potions?

Episode 29: The Long Week…

So it has been a really long couple of weeks actually. I know I said the next cast would be done with guest host Kilaw Pilath but so much has went down since the last cast that I really needed to vent. So from a very personal family issue that I am helping tackle to my no longer working for End Gamers magazine I let the poison out.

I also discuss The Walking Dead season 3 premiere *Warning spoilers if you tune in!*
And discuss finally getting episodes 1-4 of the video game. (will give a full review when I finish playing it)

I also talk raid night disappointment, mostly with my crappy internet connection and just being tired most Friday nights due to a busy schedule. So sit back and enjoy the cast thank you for tuning in and I warn you I really am pissed at what went down with End Gamers so had to really let it be known.

Episode 28: Zynga the evil Empire

Hello Den fans im hear to rant against the evil empire, no not N. Korea (this time) but in the game world. Sure I know some would go “but Kal EA is far worst…” Yeah well EA doesn’t flood my social network scene, which I must begrudgingly use for work with stupid Ville Requests. So yeah get ready for the mother off all rantings as I take on Zynga the evil Empire!

Just some facts about Zynga that make me ill:

1. over a million people are playing as I record this cast..seriously they have over 306 million mind numbed sheep…

2.Chefville one of their more popular ville games (if you can use the word popular for this stuff) has over 7.2 million daily active players..wtf?

3. 2 years ago they got away with basically helping scam their players especially the Facebook sheep yet people still play their games in droves../sigh

4. And this makes me want to go on a shooting spree…Business news is estimating the company could be worth anywhere between 7-20 billion dollars..for fucking real? No seriously this company which encourages family and friends to spam my boxes with “I just gave you a sheep PLAY FARMVILLE” b.s. is worth as much as a small country. /Death

Yeah so with all these facts you can see why I feel Zynga is an evil empire and this Kal’s den goes to deal with how I feel about that. Not my normal format but definitely gonna be an enjoyable ride!

**Facts found on Wikepedia, Buisness magazine, Google and Zynga’s website**

This show is not in its normal format again yeah I know but its a good listen, I geek out about upcoming Sailormoon 2013 based on the manga stories, Talk a little about Tite Kubo’s Bleach, and The Walking Dead comics. Then I explain to you guys that a spammer has not taken over my accounts. I know have a business with 5 linx which I am trying to make a real income from. I know it seems too good to be true but it is a legitimate business and it does work. So no worries a spammer is not amongst you I only plan on posting once every few days to catch anyone interested in my services but I definitely wanted to stress that it really is me Kal when you see those posts/tweets.

Shout outs wrap up the cast and starting next issue you may hear me with a guest co-host ^_^
