Hear that shitty, dreary music from Gustaberg? Me neither, but we're joined this week by Technology Ethics expert Liedra, our first female guest on the show! We discuss the ethics involved in robotics, tech, and video games, how it feels to be an empowered gal and get hit on in MMOs and various other things. Esteban finds he's turned on by the kink, Dale admits his long-hidden fetish and we find out whether Facebook is truly evil or not. Among all this, games are discussed (including one we promised we wouldn't talk about anymore) and lots of laughs are had. Remember: do NOT try to fuck a girl's accent.
Listen Now!

to bad that next time esteban can´t tell us how it worked out with the strange bondage japanes girl.
btw I am german and could translate the final fantasy thing.
Nice to see new people finding the show somehow and commenting, wilkommen!
Lin, if you are out there reading this, I'm curious to hear what you know about the video game censorship practices of the Australian government. I wonder why they took such a hard stance against video games and I wonder how you feel about it as an Australian Ethicist. What little I have heard really sounds shockingly old fashioned from an American's viewpoint.
Elmdor. Kiss your backlog management goals goodbye. It seemed like everytime I looked at a game during the Steam Sale, you always showed up on my list of friends who already owned it!! By the way, are you still on the 1 out 1 in plan?
Btw, I notice the X series is the Steam mid-week madness sale. Assuming I don't want to buy the entire X pack, where is the best place to start? I'm considering buying:
X3 Terran War Pack
Includes 2 items: X3: Terran Conflict, X3: Albion Prelude
Really liked the Walking Dead. Playing that game is as enjoyable as the comic or the TV show, and that's saying something. Interesting that I seem to really like the TV show compared to most people. The first 6 episodes felt rough but since that point it's hit its stride and really captured the feel of the comic. I think some people are getting hung up on story differences between the TV show and the comic (eg. Shane's character), but I wouldn't want them to be exactly the same. Any thoughts? Can't wait till episode 3!
Hope you're doing well and stuff :D
Also was fun to hear a fellow Australian on the podcast, even if I didn't recognise your accent right away! Been away from Aus too long!
@liedra I would like to know about what you think about the dominance of the fps´s in the game industry from the an ethical point of view, isn´t it a bit disutrbing that most of the gamers love playing virtual war (i am no exception)?
don´t you think that at some point all this violence somehow desensitize people (exampel the image of a detonating bomb on the news is not as shocking at it should be, because you have see it like a million time in a modernwarfare game)?
is it form the ethical point of view ok that a hole generation is like militarized by the shooters and knows all the names of the common military weapons?
sorry for the bad grammar
