Episode 10

Gaymer Mafia — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 05:16:48 GMT

Tom and Jon's fanboy hearts are broken over sci-fi author Orson Scott Card's latest anti-gay rant against California's gay marriage ruling, and they've decided to strike back with some rants of their own. The next few sessions will be a gay old romp through Mr. Card's missive as it's picked apart line by line. Should be a blast!

Episode 8

Gaymer Mafia — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:26:10 GMT

It's been an incredible week! Gay marriage in California, an African-American Presidential candidate, and Jon's had three auditions! He and Tom talk about high expectations, show some love to Mrs. Clinton and rant about how hard it is to keep yourself inspired and grounded at the same time. Heavy. I know. And, yes, this relates to gaming. Think about all those first afternoons of that new campaign you've been through. All those high hopes you had for your newly designed half-orc bard/rogue. You know the one. You KNEW how to make it work. Did that campaign end with a big blow out or a pathetic burn out? Happens to all of us. Doesn't mean we're going to stop gathering around the RPG table any time soon.

Episode 7

Gaymer Mafia — Fri, 16 May 2008 06:43:52 GMT

We're back! Sorry we were away for so long. Tom & Jon discuss the curious tendency in many gamers when it comes to combat... they NEVER back down... even when they should, if they know what's good for them. And how, when you think about it, that's not a half-bad way to live.

Episode 6

Gaymer Mafia — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 05:37:54 GMT

Jon and Tom talk about Jay Leno, free speech, bully humor and how quickly usually nice, progressive gamers turn into whiny, cruel neo-cons. Strange... but true!

Episode 5

Gaymer Mafia — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 06:40:54 GMT

This is kind of a Part 2 of the "World Colliding" conversation. The last time Jon and Tom talked they went on for about 45 minutes and a bunch of audio had to be cut... so this is some of that mysterious missing never before heard other half of the conversation. Listen closely at the end and try to spot the little blooper! Tee-hee...

Episode 4

Gaymer Mafia — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:27:01 GMT

Tom and Jon talk about what happens, good, bad, or downright awful, when one group of friends meets another group of friends for the first time. It's very similar to the worries that can surround introducing a new player to an RPG.
