In deze aflevering bespreken we de trailer van de aankomende game Intergalactic van Naughty Dog die bij zowel critici als het grote publiek wereldfaam verwierf met The Last Of Us. We bekijken de trailer in het licht van GamerGate wat het startschot is geweest van wat we vandaag de dag The Culture Wars noemen. Is de controverse onterecht en willen al die 'boze, racistische, homofobe, transfobe, incel keyboard warriors' hier weer eens veel te veel in zien? Of wordt in het licht van GamerGate daadwerkelijk de hele cultuurstrijd in deze ene kleine trailer van die o zo gevierde publisher kernachtig weerspiegeld - zoals ook het algehele universum in een sneeuwvlokje zichtbaar wordt? Dit is deel I van wat mogelijkerwijs een sub-serie wordt over GamerGate en het begin van de kloof Gast: Sascha Kleerebezem***Steun Open Geesten / Zomergeesten / Boze Geesten Podcast

HAPPY PRIDE 2022!We are back for an all new season of Gay For Play, and we're kicking it off by talking about Queer & Queer-*Coded* Villains in video games. Queer coding the bad guy is a trope seen in media for ages, dating back to old Hollywood censorship laws & really entering our generation's collective consciousness through the villains of the Disney Renaissance of the 1990s, right around the same time that the medium of video games started to come into their own. Eric and Laurence discuss how this trope came about and why this trope is harmful, but also why we sometimes have a soft-spot for a queer-coded baddie!  We get into our favorite examples of queer-coded villains, as well as some canonically LGBTQ villains in games.Links to articles/videos discussed this episode:-Is Ghirahim Gay or Just Coded That Way? | Queer Tropes in Video Games by Feminist Frequency (via Youtube)-"What Queer Coded Villains Teach Us" by Maddie Ray-"Video Game Baddies and the Power Behind Reclaiming Queer Villainy" by Taryn Urban for Gayming Mag-"Not Just Queer Coded, These Disney Villains Were Designed by a Gay Man" by Taylor Henderson for pride.comWhat Else We're Gay For This Week:-Pokémon Scarlet & Violet-"What's your gender?" by PurpleSloth on itch.io-Fortnite : Zero Build Mode-PlayStation's June 2022 State of Play========Get in touch with us!EMAIL US at gayforplaypodcast@gmail.comFOLLOW G4P Twitter: @GayForPlayPodInstagram: @GayForPlayPodTwitch: twitch.tv/gayforplaypodSupport the Show & Unlock Bonus Episodes on our PATREON========CREDITSIntro and outro music by Connor Marsh (@connorjmarshmallow)Show art by Benny Kessler (@retro.spectacle.studio)Special thanks to our patrons: Blueberri Mary, Elijah Punzal,  Trevor McTavish & Martha Turner

Listen in as we unpack the many layers of Carrie and how the film presents the feminine and femininity, including gender performance, internalized misogyny, and of course, motherhood.*** Friendly reminder to mark your calendars for our birthday blow out!

In the 1990s, Myst and Doom fought a war for the soul of video games. Myst sold almost twice as many copies. Within ten years, the entire industry had remodeled itself around Doom. Special call out to Jimmy Maher at the Digital Antiquarian (https://filfre.net) whose work covering early video games I drew on extensively. Some Corrections: * I mention the Nintento 64 as the rival to the Genesis when I meant the Super Nintendo * Doom was not Id’s last Shareware game; their next game, Quake, was also distributed as Shareware * First person mode was the primary mode of Ultima Underworld * There are 5 worlds in Myst, not 7 * Jimmy Maher points out the Lucasfilm’s games declined in quality after 1993, and so poor design may still have been a factor in the decline of Adventure games.

October was a wild month. With the US Presidential election being a looming presence in our mind's all month, it's so easy for us all to think there wasn't much good to the spooky month. But looking back on our geeky news, you know what? October was fucking badass for women in geekdom! We start off at the intersection of politics and video games, celebrating US Representative, AOC, meeting her constituents where they hang out most: getting sus on Twitch. We love this story so much and hope to see more of AOC rocking the emergency meeting! Our pal Henrik dropped the next article in our laps: the Nobel Chemistry Prize was awarded to two female scientists this year! Making them the first all-female team ever to win the award. Congratulations!! Feminist Frequency reported the gender breakdown from this year's E3 and, not gonna lie, it's a pretty cool improvement for female protagonists. Any games in particular you're looking forward to? Entertainment wise, we've got some awesome news, too! Ellen Page is starring in a new TV show from Buzzfeed Studios about varsity eSports for women. She plays a coach who had her own Gamergate saga who's guiding Paris Berelc's all-female eSports team to victory against all the boys (probably). We are stannind the new Batwoman! We love Tom Holland! We bitchslap anyone who's out here bodyshaming our men (MENFOLK, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AS YOU ARE)! We ADORE Iman Vellani who's cast as Ms Marvel! And finally, Barbie WHAAAAT?

In Star Trek gaming, our friends, the Women at Warp, share an invaluable resource for gamers, Timelines gets a Mega-Event, and Modiphius is raising a small fortune for Black Lives Matter. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we'll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ:  Would you rather see a fourth Kelvin film, Noah Hawley's Pandemic Pitch, or a 2021 version of “A Piece of the Action”? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Star Trek Movie Plans are Undecided Werner Herzog once said “I WOULD TRAVEL DOWN TO HELL AND WRESTLE A FILM AWAY FROM THE DEVIL IF IT WAS NECESSARY.”. We Star Trek fans may need to get in touch with Mr. Herzog - because the Star Trek film franchise is in a bit of limbo. On Friday August 7th, Deadline broke the story that Paramount's newest film Captain - Emma Watts - was putting the Noah Hawley led Trek film on ice. According to the piece, Watts, who formerly ran many Franchises for Fox, was in the process of evaluating which Trek was most feasible for the studio moving forward. Hawley's film was put on the back-burner in large part due to its plot. ”What we're hearing is that [...] the Hawley pic  [...] calls for a new cast and might be about a deadly virus which might feel awkward given current circumstance”. The Hollywood Reporter's sources confirm the rumor about the plot, adding “the virus wipes out vast parts of the known universe”. So what's next? Is it all bad news? Not necessarily. According to Deadline, Hawley's film moving back may mean another oft discussed Trek film could move forward. There are two options, and we've discussed them both ad-nauseum. The first is Star Trek by Quentin Tarantino, which we'll get into in a minute. The other, and according to Deadline the most likely of the three films to get made, is the formerly-SJ Clarkson-helmed Star Trek Kelvin IV. The script brings back the Kelvin Enterprise and her crew, as well as Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk. It was dumped in favor of Hawley's pitch due to the high price tag that went along with bringing back the Kelvin-crew, but according to Deadline it ”might have the cleanest path toward a relaunch, with an emphasis on boosting overseas gross numbers which have never been the franchise's strong suit. These decisions will take place over the next few weeks.” So stay tuned for the next chapter of this ongoing saga! We Learn More About Star Trekantino Quentin Tarantino once said “THE GOOD IDEAS WILL SURVIVE.”. Let's hope that's true, because it feels like THIS idea has been around for a long time. THIS idea, of course, is the Tarantino helmed Star Trek film - Star Trekantino. This weeks Deadline piece shed some light on the on-again-off-again film, including it's feasibility and - more interestingly - its plot. ”Tarantino dropped out as director, but the project is still viable based on an episode of the classic Star Trek series that takes place largely earthbound in a 30s gangster setting — might serve the franchise best as Logan-like spinoffs when the core franchise has been revitalized.”. So, tarantino wanted a “Piece of the Action”? Tarantino, as stated, dropped out as director, but still expressed excitement for the Michael L. Smith penned script. Tarantino told Deadline in January of this year ”I think they might make that movie, but I just don't think I'm going to direct it. It's a good idea. They should definitely do it and I'll be happy to come in and give them some notes on the first rough cut.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2eRJozOZa0 Star Trek Prodigy Gets a Director/Co-Executive Producer Heading back to the small screen, Star Trek's upcoming Nickelodeon offering - Star Trek: Prodigy - has a new creative lead - Ben Hibon. Hibon has been creating CG animation for video games, shorts, and movies since 2005; having most notably directed the animated “Tale of Three Brothers'' in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. Along with his Creative lead role, Hibon will direct and serve as a co-executive producer on the Hageman Brothers series. Ramsey Naito of Nickelodeon group said of the addition ”Ben's contributions to the world of animation are immeasurable, and we are so lucky to have his vision and creative genius on Star Trek: Prodigy. As an incredible storyteller and a world builder with a distinct vision, his original approach paired with this beloved property will bring the characters to life in a whole new way,” Hibon also expressed his excitement, saying in a release ”Getting the chance to work on an IP like Star Trek has been an incredible opportunity, particularly when partnered with the talented teams at Nickelodeon, CBS and Secret Hideout – who have been pushing the boundaries of what animation and serialized storytelling for younger audiences can deliver,” For another look at Ben Hibon's work, we suggest trekking out “Codehunters”. We'll have a link in our show notes, but as a heads up Viewer discretion is advised. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmeP1YkaeTo NYCC ReedPop Statement Stop spreadin' the germs, I'm wearing a mask Don't want to be a part of it New York, Comic Con Or not. If your vagabond shoes were longing to stray through the very heart of  the Javitt center this October - to celebrate ReedPop's New York Comic Con 2020 - you'll have to find another approach to melt away your little-town blues. New York Comic Con is cancelled - sort of. In a statement released on their website, ReedPop said in part ”NYCC doesn't stop just because we can't do what we've done in the past. Instead, we look to the future: We may not be meeting in the queue hall each morning, but we're excited to join forces with our sister event, MCM Comic Con in London, to bring you New York Comic Con's Metaverse, our new online portal dedicated to delivering pop culture experiences, right into your homes NYCC weekend, October 8-11. We are partnering with YouTube to bring to life four days of incredible content from the biggest studios, publishers and creators in the business.” It probably comes as no surprise that the in-person event was cancelled - it would be more surprising, frankly, if they just pushed it back to - say - December. But it is disappointing.

Our first contact in Bozeman, Montana might not have happened if the Vulcans spent five minutes with an Earth history textbook. But given the chance, would you undo humanity's achievements to annul its sins? And would you want the RomuLannisters involved? No really, would you? Star Trek Timelines' upcoming Mega-Event, “The Capitoline Wolf,'' opens a strange new chapter in human/Romulan relations. During the Enterprise-themed event, players will see the history of an alternate Earth shaped by ancient Romulan influence–for good or for ill–and decide if humans should ever change. The event begins on August 13th with the “Cultural Property” Skirmish Event, with more details to follow. And look, we're not saying it was aliens–Disruptor Beam is saying it was aliens.

It's a story that we hope will be helpful to some of you, maybe even important.  As reported recently by Ars Technica, and shared with us by Sue fromWomen At Warp, a new type of text-based hotline has launched for gamers. It's called the Games and Online Harassment Hotline, and their mission is to offer free emotional support and help resources to gamers and game developers struggling with the unique issues common to the industry. Initially conceived by Feminist Frequency's Anita Sarkeesian, the hotline is solely purposed to offering a listening ear and support to anyone in gaming who might need it. As Sarkeesian puts it,  It's for people who make and play games. Streamer, competitor, press, fan, my mom who plays Candy Crush. There's no gatekeeping here, no test to get into our boundaries. If you're part of our space, we're here for you… Burnt out by crunch. Isolated, lonely, or depressed. Facing online harassment. Abuse. Afraid that you have caused harm and want a place to talk that out. Worried for your friends or colleagues. We're a space you can come to and talk some of that through.   If you need to talk with someone about struggles you're experiencing in the gaming sphere, you can start by texting “SUPPORT” to 23368 anywhere in the USA. Between 4pm and 7pm Pacific, weekdays, they'll reply to your text. After a few automated questions, you'll get connected to a trained agent who will listen and offer helpful resources if they can.

This week on Episode 473 of Priority One --- We ‘Trek Out’ Star Trek’s cinema shuffling, Prodigy’s newest hire, and where our vagabond shoes WON’T be straying. In Star Trek gaming, our friends, the Women at Warp, share an invaluable resource for gamers, Timelines gets a Mega-Event, and Modiphius is raising a small fortune for Black Lives Matter. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we’ll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ:  Would you rather see a fourth Kelvin film, Noah Hawley’s Pandemic Pitch, or a 2021 version of “A Piece of the Action”? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Star Trek Movie Plans are Undecided Werner Herzog once said “I WOULD TRAVEL DOWN TO HELL AND WRESTLE A FILM AWAY FROM THE DEVIL IF IT WAS NECESSARY.”. We Star Trek fans may need to get in touch with Mr. Herzog - because the Star Trek film franchise is in a bit of limbo. On Friday August 7th, Deadline broke the story that Paramount’s newest film Captain - Emma Watts - was putting the Noah Hawley led Trek film on ice. According to the piece, Watts, who formerly ran many Franchises for Fox, was in the process of evaluating which Trek was most feasible for the studio moving forward. Hawley’s film was put on the back-burner in large part due to its plot. ”What we’re hearing is that [...] the Hawley pic  [...] calls for a new cast and might be about a deadly virus which might feel awkward given current circumstance”. The Hollywood Reporter’s sources confirm the rumor about the plot, adding “the virus wipes out vast parts of the known universe”. So what’s next? Is it all bad news? Not necessarily. According to Deadline, Hawley’s film moving back may mean another oft discussed Trek film could move forward. There are two options, and we’ve discussed them both ad-nauseum. The first is Star Trek by Quentin Tarantino, which we’ll get into in a minute. The other, and according to Deadline the most likely of the three films to get made, is the formerly-SJ Clarkson-helmed Star Trek Kelvin IV. The script brings back the Kelvin Enterprise and her crew, as well as Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk. It was dumped in favor of Hawley’s pitch due to the high price tag that went along with bringing back the Kelvin-crew, but according to Deadline it ”might have the cleanest path toward a relaunch, with an emphasis on boosting overseas gross numbers which have never been the franchise’s strong suit. These decisions will take place over the next few weeks.” So stay tuned for the next chapter of this ongoing saga! We Learn More About Star Trekantino Quentin Tarantino once said “THE GOOD IDEAS WILL SURVIVE.”. Let’s hope that’s true, because it feels like THIS idea has been around for a long time. THIS idea, of course, is the Tarantino helmed Star Trek film - Star Trekantino. This weeks Deadline piece shed some light on the on-again-off-again film, including it’s feasibility and - more interestingly - its plot. ”Tarantino dropped out as director, but the project is still viable based on an episode of the classic Star Trek series that takes place largely earthbound in a 30s gangster setting — might serve the franchise best as Logan-like spinoffs when the core franchise has been revitalized.”. So, tarantino wanted a “Piece of the Action”? Tarantino, as stated, dropped out as director, but still expressed excitement for the Michael L. Smith penned script. Tarantino told Deadline in January of this year ”I think they might make that movie, but I just don’t think I’m going to direct it. It’s a good idea. They should definitely do it and I’ll be happy to come in and give them some notes on the first rough cut.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2eRJozOZa0 Star Trek Prodigy Gets a Director/Co-Executive Producer Heading back to the small screen, Star Trek’s upcoming Nickelodeon offering - Star Trek: Prodigy - has a new creative lead - Ben Hibon. Hibon has been creating CG animation for video games, shorts, and movies since 2005; having most notably directed the animated “Tale of Three Brothers'' in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. Along with his Creative lead role, Hibon will direct and serve as a co-executive producer on the Hageman Brothers series. Ramsey Naito of Nickelodeon group said of the addition ”Ben’s contributions to the world of animation are immeasurable, and we are so lucky to have his vision and creative genius on Star Trek: Prodigy. As an incredible storyteller and a world builder with a distinct vision, his original approach paired with this beloved property will bring the characters to life in a whole new way,” Hibon also expressed his excitement, saying in a release ”Getting the chance to work on an IP like Star Trek has been an incredible opportunity, particularly when partnered with the talented teams at Nickelodeon, CBS and Secret Hideout – who have been pushing the boundaries of what animation and serialized storytelling for younger audiences can deliver,” For another look at Ben Hibon’s work, we suggest trekking out “Codehunters”. We’ll have a link in our show notes, but as a heads up Viewer discretion is advised. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmeP1YkaeTo NYCC ReedPop Statement Stop spreadin' the germs, I'm wearing a mask Don’t want to be a part of it New York, Comic Con Or not. If your vagabond shoes were longing to stray through the very heart of  the Javitt center this October - to celebrate ReedPop’s New York Comic Con 2020 - you’ll have to find another approach to melt away your little-town blues. New York Comic Con is cancelled - sort of. In a statement released on their website, ReedPop said in part ”NYCC doesn’t stop just because we can’t do what we’ve done in the past. Instead, we look to the future: We may not be meeting in the queue hall each morning, but we’re excited to join forces with our sister event, MCM Comic Con in London, to bring you New York Comic Con's Metaverse, our new online portal dedicated to delivering pop culture experiences, right into your homes NYCC weekend, October 8-11. We are partnering with YouTube to bring to life four days of incredible content from the biggest studios, publishers and creators in the business.” It probably comes as no surprise that the in-person event was cancelled - it would be more surprising, frankly, if they just pushed it back to - say - December. But it is disappointing. For a full list of guests, follow our link in the show notes Star Trek Gaming News by Shane Hoover and Thomas Reynolds Star Trek Timelines: “The Capitoline Wolf” Mega-Event Star Trek: The Next Generation began the franchise’s new era with a damning observation: for all it protests otherwise, humanity is a grievously savage race. Our first contact in Bozeman, Montana might not have happened if the Vulcans spent five minutes with an Earth history textbook. But given the chance, would you undo humanity’s achievements to annul its sins? And would you want the RomuLannisters involved? No really, would you? Star Trek Timelines’ upcoming Mega-Event, “The Capitoline Wolf,'' opens a strange new chapter in human/Romulan relations. During the Enterprise-themed event, players will see the history of an alternate Earth shaped by ancient Romulan influence–for good or for ill–and decide if humans should ever change. The event begins on August 13th with the “Cultural Property” Skirmish Event, with more details to follow. And look, we’re not saying it was aliens–Disruptor Beam is saying it was aliens. The Continuing Bundle Captains, there are approximately 7 days left to purchase Modiphius Entertainment’s Star Trek Adventures RPG Book Bundle and support the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. As of writing the Bundle has raised $201,005.54 from 12,600 purchases. Modiphius Takes The Long Road Whether you’ve been playing Modiphius Entertainment’s Star Trek Adventures from the start, or you’ve just been enlisted to Starfleet by that Humble Bundle, you might be excited by some other news this week. At least, you’ll be excited if you’ve got Faith. Faith of the Heart. That’s right, the NX-01 Enterprise and her famous crew have joined Star Trek Adventures with the latest PDF add-on for the game. The new release includes character sheets for everyone from Captain Jonathan Archer to Doctor Phlox, plus Andorian Commander Thy’lek Shran. It also brings you the statistics for the NX-01 U.S.S. Enterprise herself.  So if your tabletop bridge crew is ready for a long road to the 22nd century, Trek out the new character pack.

Video games have become a huge release for lots of people, especially the many who are entering their sixth month of some sort of coronavirus lockdown. Sales of video games are up 26% from a year ago. But online harassment has been a problem in gaming for years, and in June, dozens of women accused streamers — people who broadcast their gaming on Twitch or YouTube — of sexual harassment, abuse or assault. Now, a longtime video game activist is launching a hotline for people who play games or work in the games industry to get support. Molly speaks with Anita Sarkeesian, the executive director of the nonprofit media site Feminist Frequency.

What even is gender? In this episode, we unpack our struggle with understanding gender identity and how that intersects with living in a world where gender presentation has a tremendous impact on our lived experience. While Doug has found himself asking, "what does it even mean to be a man?" Vanessa has found herself asking, "what kind of woman do I want to be?" How are these questions different? In what ways are they shaped by the genders we were assigned at birth and the social expectations placed upon us to conform to those genders? In this episode, we wrestle with questions ranging from romantic attraction to sexism to the gender binary to male-presenting privilege to the good old "nature vs nurture" debate, along with a few tangents thrown in for good measure. We hope you enjoy the episode! [TRIGGER WARNINGS: mental illness, gender dysphoria, sexism, mansplaining, transphobia, gaslighting, and bisexual erasure] Show Notes We kicked the episode off with a brief sidebar on Borderline Personality Disorder. Doug, again, recommended the TV show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend to Vanessa--and she has since started watching! Even if you don't watch the entire series, the song "Diagnosis" from Season 3 is worth watching in its own right for anyone whose ever had trouble figuring out "what's wrong" with them in terms of their mental health issues. We talk briefly about the romantic/aromantic spectrum without really qualifying what this is. Here's a quick primer. Doug mentions that he identifies as agender and, more specifically, demiguy. Doug refers to a podcast in which someone says something akin to "if you don't know what romance is, that probably means your aromantic." That's from this episode of the AOK Podcast. The quote Doug reads about the "cisgender/transgender binary" is from Transgender History by Susan Stryker. The quote Doug reads about the "gender landscape" is from Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe. The YouTube video Vanessa mentions by Alayna Joy is called "The wedding is off. | Coming out again." Talking about feminism and cultural tropes, Vanessa mentions the YouTube channel The Take and Doug mentions the YouTube channel Feminist Frequency. Our Blog Things quiz for this week was "What Kind of Fabric Are You?" This episode was recorded on May 28, 2020.
