#13 german guy 2012-07-30 12:55 wow why are like 2/3 of the podcast team speaking german oO. I always thought that the german language sounds to the rest of the world like an boring barking jiberish. @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

Hey German guy!

Yeah, I think that some of the hyper realistic games can be a bit desensitising. That said, for the majority of the population this isn't necessarily a bad thing. However, for a small minority it can be - those who have certain sorts of mental issues, for example, can be affected in a negative way.

I think as long as people know the difference between reality & fiction it's okay. But it gets increasingly difficult to make a call about these things the more realistic they get. There is a difference between passive consumption (movies) and active (games) and how they affect people. So yeah, tough question, hard to answer. Sorry :)

Thanks Liedra for helping hold down the fort!

I heard on the GWJ CC that Sean Sands made his $60 back in Diablo 3 on the auction house. It made me wonder if Elmdor had an update on his progress :-).

Nice episode and thank you for answering my questions as well.

FYI, if you like science and have a Kinect, I recommend checking out the Mars Rover Landing "game" on xbla. It is free and a pretty cool little graphical demo of the Mars rover mission.

Yeah, I listened and noticed I kept steamrolling over her w/o realizing it, lol. I don't think I should cast after midnight.

$4.60! I've been selling more on the gold AH, though. I've still got plenty of time to make the cash for the expansion, I'm sure...

one of your more interesting episodes, except you both talked over each other extensively!! You should have Liedra on more often.

Yeah, it was very early on a Sunday morning for me and very late on a Saturday night for Elmdor, so I think we were both not at our best :) Also my second podcast ever, next time I'll learn from the experience! Thanks for the feedback :)

I'm sure I'll be back again some time. I had too much fun to stay away ;D even if it was 8am on a Sunday.
