Would you rather have sex, Gex, Lexx, or Tex-Mex?
The ones I'd enjoy most in the moment are also the most transient. A true conundrum...

I was just listening to the podcast and your discussion about "stealth learning" through games reminded me of this excellent talk on the subject that I thought might interest you, if you have the time: https://vimeo.com/113714091 To ask something, any favorite examples of games teaching how to play?
That guy should have done the podcast instead of us. Thanks for the link, nice find.
An example that he could have had in his video was how Portal teaches you everything except the movement controls: by the game doing it first. There's a video out there of someone explaining it far better than I, but I can't remember what it was called or who made it right now. Basically, the game shows you the portal gun working on its own in that first puzzle, and you see how it connects different parts of the room. Everything you need to know starts there, and is built up in the same way. Automatic demonstration, then simple interaction, then puzzles you actually have to think about.

In your opinion, did the Brave Little Toaster age well?
Small appliances are basically ground zero for planned obsolescence, so I doubt it.

So when are you going to have @Slowbeef and @The_Betus on Chipod Ironicast? You guys need to teach them how to keep up a good podcast.
I don't know, the retsucast schedule seems pretty demanding on its own.

How many times per day do you shower?
This is a trap question to find really grody fuckers and obsessive neat freaks.
A man said to me that he hadn't been to the toilet for 2 years. Reckon he's full of shit.
I reckon he has a really smelly spot in the yard.

Any thoughts on Ellen Degeneres?
I have never been on Ellen Degeneres, but if I were my thoughts would probably be about how clumsy I must have been to get there.

I only caught the first three episodes of the latest season of Doctor Who, then kinda lost my enthusiasm. Is the rest of season 8 good or should I just watch seasons 1-4 again and again?
I say season 8 is the best year of the new series. What you watch is your business.
Heard any music you're fond of/would recommend lately?

Bob Holmes, greatest of all time. Then Malcolm Hulke, Terrence Dicks, Kit Pedler, Bob Baker and Dave Martin, David Whitaker, and eventually you get to Pip and Jane Baker at the very bottom. Gosh they're horrible.

A while ago I remember you mentioning a podcast that you listen to that talked about subjects like Aleister Crowley and things like that. Can you tell me what the name of that podcast was?
I can think of two that might have been. Blurry Photos is a pair of guys named Dave talking about a new cryptid, mystic, conspiracy, etc. every week behind a thick screen of inside jokes: http://www.blurryphotos.org/
Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff is pretty accurately named; specifically it's game designers/writers Ken Hite and Robin D Laws. They cover a wide range of rotating topics including the Consulting Occultist segment where Ken covers the life and impact of a notable occult practitioner. http://www.kenandrobintalkaboutstuff.com/
They've both done Crowley episodes, so I don't know.
