Ainsley is an internationally-acclaimed past life psychic and author, and he has broken into the mainstream media through appearances on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and Oprah's Super Soul podcast. Christine is a grounded spiritual mentor, and together they explore the significance of past lives in understanding one's current existence and purpose. They delve into the nature of soul types, soul ages, and the connection between past life experiences and present-day fears and blocks. They also share personal stories about their relationship -- including their "meet cute" moment here on Vashon Island -- and how they complement each other's different needs for connection and solitude. Whether you've ever pondered the concept of past lives or not, we think you will find this conversation fascinating.Website: https://ainsliemacleod.comAinslie's Instagram: @ainslie_macleodChristine's Instagram: @christinelovemacleod

I'm talking with spiritual mentor and jewelry maker Christine Love-MacLeod. Christine is partners in life and in business with past-life psychic Ainslie MacLeod. It felt like such a treat to hear the story of them meeting and what she thought when she found out this guy she was into was a psychic. The work they do is focused around helping people get a deeper understanding of themselves. As she puts it, the more you understand how you're wired and embrace that, the more you'll be able to feel a deep soul level purpose in life. Authenticity is something deeply important to Christine, whether that's in her work or just breaking the ice with a stranger. She makes the point that if someone isn't accepting your authenticity maybe they're people you don't want in your sphere. There's just so much great stuff in this episode including some stories about how she became a jewelry maker and started following the Grateful Dead. I'm telling you, no one brings the big sister Mama Love vibes like Christine does so without any further ado allow me to introduce you to Christine Love-MacLeod.

My guest today is a writer, designer, creator of Lady Killer in a Bind and the namesake of Love Conquers All Games, Christine Love. In a wild and divergent talk we hit on how 18th Century twitter would be angry about how novels weren't real writing, the connection between Link's Awakening and Twin Peaks, why Pokemon feels like folk lore, and the thrill of meeting strangers on the internet. We also talk about the impact of Ace Attorney, her coaching sessions in Street Fighter 3rd Strike, playing Final Fantasy 6 to get over a break up, a showdown in a Japanese arcade and why she's thrilled that games have embraced romance. "Well, my story, surely, would furnish out a surprising kind of novel, if it were to be well told."

In this Soundbyte, we’re talking sexy, sexy sex games, why they’re interesting, and the queer erasure that comes along with blacklisting them from websites like Twitch. Astrid speaks to Robert Yang, NYU arts professor and renowned gay video game developer about the homophobic portion of his audience. Christine Love talks about the importance of consent through dialogue in her BDSM visual novel Ladykiller in a Bind. And Kenzie Stargrifter shares her excitement about trans cyberpunk porn game Hardcoded. But let's ask them: what makes a good sex game?

Rob and Jon take to the mics alone to discuss Ladykiller in a Bind, Christine Love's 2016 visual novel about queer romance and mistaken identities. Specifically, we're digging into Ladykiller's innovative dialogue system, breaking down what makes it work so well and what other games can learn from it.

Justin Ma and Matthew Davis, the creators of FTL and Into The Breach, sat down with Jason and Maddy at GDC 2019 to discuss the intense creative stress involved in making their most recent game. Despite wanting to pull the plug on Into The Breach many times, the duo forged onward and made a strategy game that is elegant in its simplicity. In the second half of the show, Christine Love joins us to talk about her past visual novels (Analogue: A Hate Story, Ladykiller In A Bind) and her pivot towards making an RPG called Get In The Car, Loser! which will have actual combat mechanics alongside the dialogue trees.

This episode tracks Christine Love's unique path into the games industry, the process of creating a visual novel -- (from the writing, to the programming, to figuring out what choices to give the player), the design considerations that go into creating an erotic game, and much more!

At last, the Metal Gear Solid special! Joining Owen on the show tonight are two hand-picked Kojima nerds from different sectors of the videogame ecosystem: Independent developer Christine Love (http://loveconquersallgam.es/), creator of games such as Analogue: A Love Story, Digital: A Hate Story, and the upcoming My Twin Brother Made Me Crossdress As Him And Now I Have To Deal With A Geeky Stalker And A Domme Beauty Who Want Me In A Bind!! (or, Ladykiller In A Bind), and Dr. Douglas Brown from Falmouth University's Games Academy (http://www.falmouth.ac.uk/games-academy), who is currently writing a book about narrative in games, focusing on suspension of disbelief in the Metal Gear Solid series. Fair warning: For obvious reasons, we discuss a lot of major plot points from across the whole MGS series, and if you haven't finished any of these games yet but intend to someday in the future, we urge you to not listen to the show until then. Having said that, the first part of the show is entirely spoiler-free if you want to test the waters a little. GAMES WE TALK ABOUT:- Transistor- Invisible, Inc.- Device 6- Her Story- Cibele- The Walking Dead: Season Two- Yo-kai Watch- Metal Gear Solid- Metal Gear Solid 2- Metal Gear Solid 3- Metal Gear Solid 4- Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker- Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance- Metal Gear Solid V

I had enough time during a very busy PAX East to get an interview with Christine Love. As I say before the interview, I feel like I whiffed it. Not enough food and water make brain do bad questions. It was still a delight talking to Christine either way and hopefully that comes through.

Hey everyone, welcome to our first very special episode, of a hopefully long-running series called Gameography! If you need to know what Gameography is, take a look at this prior postexplaining it. If you insist on the tl;dr version, we picked a game maker we really liked and played through her entire history of games and talked about them as a whole body of work. In this case, our first subject was one of our favorites, Christine Love!I have to admit, we were very nervous going into this episode, trying to do something a little different than usual. As such, we would love any sort of feedback about our process, and anything we might do better next time a gameography episode happens. As always, you can bother us on twitter, or email us at abnormalmappingpodcast @ gmail.com.Gameography: Christine LoveCell Phone Love LetterHeart of FireSketchbook: Schoolgirls in Love and Other Assorted HeartbreakDigital: A Love Storydon’t take it personally, babe, it just ain’t your storyAnalogue: A Hate StoryDiving DeeperEven Cowgirls BleedMagical Maiden MadisonHate PlusNext Month’s Game:Ace Combat 6: Fires of LiberationMusic This EpisodeBlown Away by Kevin McLeodThe Stars Come Out by Brother AndroidIt’s Not Ero by Isaac Schankler (feat.

In this episode, we feature an interview with Christine Love of Love Conquers All Games in which she talks about the challenges of localizing her games for the Japanese and Korean markets. Christine is an indie developer, artist and writer whose creative focus is the visual novel genre. Christine's sci-fi themed visual novel "Analogue: A Hate Story" was an Indiecade 2012 finalist.

So April’s podcast is going to be something different than the usual. Instead of doing the typical game club and random segment 2, we’re going to do a special, potentially twice-yearly Very Special Episode that we’re calling Gameography. What is Gameography, you ask? Well, we recorded a very special bonus mini-podcast to try to explain our thinking. I’ll let that speak for itself.If you’d rather read than listen, I don’t blame you, so here’s the scoop: very early in Abnormal Mapping’s planning stages, I came to Jackson with the idea that every once in a while we’d do an episode that was devoted to the entire career of a specific game-maker. We’d collect all the games they put out, link to them on the blog, play through them all, and then have a very deep dive into someone’s career making games. That is, in essence, what we’re doing in Gameography. Self-explanatory, right?The reason why is a little more complicated. You see, I started writing heavily for the internet talking about movies (and still maintain a dusty but beloved movie blog), where the concept of authorial voice is really strong. People are very quick to assign all sorts of meaning and weight to a director or a screenwriter, creating a broad sense that all their works are of a piece, and that studying that authorial voice is worthwhile in better understanding both the works and the creator. This is called Auteur Theory, and has been around a long time.The strange thing is that you rarely see this sort of thing applied to games, especially in the hobbiest/amateur game making space. We often play games in a contextual vacuum, something that’s linked to us in a browser or on a curated web page, with only the dimmest awareness of who created the game and what other games they might have made, especially in a space where the games can be radically different, released in many different ways, and presented to different platforms. Bringing it all together under one roof for consideration is something we’re keen on doing, and thus Gameography is born!Which brings us to who this first one is going to be about! We have a short list of game makers we really want to dig into, but the obvious choice was someone we both knew about and who had made games we had both enjoyed. The obvious answer was Christine Love. We talk briefly about why Christine Love in the accompanying short podcast, but in realize you only need to play her games to understand why. So I leave you here with the full list of games, including links on where to find them, in the order in which they were released. Go nuts, and we’ll be playing along too, and we’ll be back at the end of April to talk about them!Gameography: Christine LoveCell Phone Love LetterHeart of FireSketchbook: Schoolgirls in Love and Other Assorted HeartbreakDigital: A Love Storydon’t take it personally, babe, it just ain’t your storyAnalogue: A Hate StoryDiving DeeperEven Cowgirls BleedMagical Maiden MadisonHate Plus

The Mappers dig into the ancient jungle tombs filled with the un-biodegradable legacy of dozens of one-off novelty music games and the shells of grimy controllers—trying to wrap their heads around wrapping their hands around these relics of a bygone era.

They also read listener e-mails, get into the finer points of video game narrative, and make some really awful puns. Actually, Evan makes all the puns. But James laughs at some of them, so he's going to have to share the blame.
