Lex is a Planetside 2 streamer notorious for his headshot ratio and his blistering tongue. He is a reigning champion of the defunct Planetside 2 Farmer's League, and is an outspoken advocate for skilled ethical gameplay on and off of Auraxis. In this chat, we discuss the cultures that develops among highly skilled gamers and in opposition to them. We also commiserate about the good ol' days of gaming where you had to walk a mile in the snow to find a server on Gamespy, and there was no social media polluted our minds with hootin', hollerin', and gum flappin'. Plus plenty of takes on the state of Planetside 2 and World of Warcraft Classic.

The former editor of EGM, 1up.com, GameSpy, and Shacknews has moved into development at Amazon and Raw Fury. He has some amazing stories and insight to share!

Tonight we start off the show with a special announcement.  Cat Context was effectively the podcast that inspired Bel to go out and try and do the same thing with some of his friends.  After a three year absence, this week we get a brand new Cat Context episode that can be found hosted on Aggronaut.com.  Today Kodra is going to be playing some Hollow Knight randomizer since there are a bunch of new updates and he has been given an entire day for gaming.  From there we get into a topic that has been skipped a few times due to the potential length regarding easing into a learning curve and how Infinity is trying this with Code Zero.  Bel segues into a discussion about what happens when the servers go offline and a game goes dark and the concern that there will be an entire generation of games that are eternally lost.  Finally we wrap things up with some talk about the Mario Maker 2 Final Update and the interesting things that level builders are doing with it. Topics Discussed: Cat Context Podcast Hollow Knight Randomizer Updates https://www.twitch.tv/kodra22  Easing into the Learning Curve Infinity Code Zero Magic the Gathering Warhammer 40k Timeless Games Lost Generation of Games What happens when a game permanently goes offline The age of private servers Mario Maker 2 Final Update Fun with World Maker What makes a quintessential Mario game

Are you ready to give up your mundane life and explore a world of unimaginable possibilities, all while learning the values of friendship and becoming a pirate (possibly with some wacky abilities but definitely a quirky crew)? We're not _quite_ there, yet, but we _are_ talking about the fans and fandom of this beloved show, _One Piece_. Plus, we have special guest, Greg Werner (from the [One Piece Podcast](http://www.onepiecepodcast.com/)) to navigate us all the way to the Grand Line, and beyond! ## Episode Outline ### Fandom Facts **History and Origins:** > One Piece is a long-running shounen manga series created by Oda Eiichiro (Odacchi to his fans) that is serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump. The story chronicles the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a boy who gained a rubber-like body after eating a cursed fruit as a young child, and his quest to find the One Piece and become the Pirate King. Along his journey, he fights many villains, makes new friends, and finds his nakama, most of whom join his crew, the Strawhat Pirates. > > — [Fanlore - One Piece](https://fanlore.org/wiki/One_Piece) Since the first volume was released in 1997 (the same year as the Fifth Element, StarFox 64, and Final Fantasy 7, for reference), an additional 89 volumes have been released, over 850 episodes of the anime, 13 movies, 45 games (including GameSpy's "GBA Platformer of the Year" in 1995)... like, a lot of stuff. Lots. **Search Data:** One Piece has been increasing in popularity [up until around January 2016](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F01_f03). After that, it starts to decrease in popularity but is still more popular than in 2004. Another interesting occurrence is a spike (and drop in) in interest around October 2010. The top ten countries for _One Piece_, by search volume, are as follows: Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Phillipines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Morocco (Canada is 43rd, United States is 49th). [// Interestingly, trend correlates with increase in interest in MHA]: # **Fan Demographics:** We managed to grab demographics from a few different sources. ...One of which comes from the [One Piece Podcast itself](http://www.onepiecepodcast.com/2016/05/23/winter-2016-survey-results/) (circa 2016). In a survey with almost 700 respondents, this is what the data looks like: - *Age*: The largest group is folks 21-25 (42%); 15-20 (32%); 26-30 (16%)... - *Gender*: 76% male; 23.6% female; 0.4% other Not demographic data, but some interesting data nonetheless: - Only 4% of participants do not read the manga. 13% do not watch the anime. - 25% of participants do not participate in the fan community In 2011, NHK (a Japanese TV channel) had also conducted a survey of readers of the manga, which gives a slightly different set of age data... which doesn't exactly line up: - < 18 (12%), 19-29 (43%), 30-49 (32%), 50+ (13%) **Fanac Fast Facts** - Archive Of Our Own has [over 12000 works for One Piece](https://archiveofourown.org/tags/One%20Piece/works). - Top 3 Categories: M/M (6149), Gen (3624), F/M (2809) - Top 3 Categories: Monkey D. Luffy (5149), Roronoa Zoro (4694), Vinsmoke Sanji (4318) - Top 3 Relationships: Roronoa Zoro/Vinsmoke Sanji (2038), Monkey D. Luffy/Trafalgar D. Water Law (917), Roronoa Zoro/Sanji (882) ### [Last Episode's](https://fanthropological.com/halo) Famous Last Words Due to a scheduling conflict, there are no famous last words for this episode. Sorry! ### Main Discussion **Topics covered in this episode:** TBD ### Spotlight: [One Pace](https://onepace.net/) > One Pace is a project aiming to match the One Piece manga more accurately than Toei's anime adaptation. We cut out filler scenes, reaction shots, padded sequences, and re-order scenes to stay truer to Goda's manga. > > — [One Pace - About](https://onepace.net/about) ### Famous Last Words Our chance (and yours

We've long been wary of digital services on consoles at Famicom Dojo, because every time one shuts down there's the inevitable pain that follows, and features that can never be recaptured. This is what is happening with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection going dark this week, which takes with it all online multiplayer (and related features) for not only Wii and DS titles, but anything that relied on GameSpy for online connectivity. Similarly, Microsoft has continued its Xbox One backpedaling and has decided that the Kinect 2.0 isn't required hardware after all. Sean and Vinnk wonder if this change to the Xbox One will make them more likely to get it over the PS4, and decide how best to go out on Nintendo's original online service. Also, we discuss the Amplitude Kickstarter by Harmonix (which, by now, should be fully funded). We review a brand new game in Future Retro, and Pile of Shame isn't about video games at all!
