Weekend Confirmed Episode 21
by Garnett Lee, Aug 13, 2010 7:00pm PDTBefore Garnett and Brian head to Texas for QuakeCon, they sit down with Jeff to record this week's show. It's a broad swath of gaming in Whatcha' Been Playin? ranging from more Madden and Starcraft 2 to Arc Rise Fantasia and even Minecraft. Your thoughts from our conversation last week about the viability of female characters leads the Warning before the subject turns to the line between fun, engaging game design and frustrating compulsion to beat a game. And in the front page there's news of new Borderlands DLC and the celebrity voice cast in Fallout New Vegas. Due to travel we recorded early this week but we'll have Jeff's reaction to Bioshock Infinite and look at July's sales figures next week.

Then theres the fact that some RPGs give you a different take on the same things if you play through it again as the opposite sex. For example, when i play Bioware games. I play them first as a Male cahracter, then as a female because im curious how interactions might change in thegame because I am a female that timea round. Situations get a new perspective because of the way other character adress you. I am a dude 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year and Its interesting to view things as a female in video games because its something I cannot do short of getting a expensive series of operations, and I am comfortable enough in my masculinity to try things as a female and maybe pursue realtionships with the supporting male characters to see the interactions those characters have and see more of the writing and dialouge if its say a Bioware game, because I love the writing in those games and the V.O work. I am not saying I want to be a women, but I am saying thats its a interesting change of perspective if you are playing as a female in a game.
