Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Thalen Hey Folks! Happy New Year! We are back after the holiday break and are delaying our Games of the Year Show until a bit later in the month. This week we talk about the Dave the Diver Dredge Crossover, Super Mario RPG and Thalen's child plotting an interesting course through the game, and a return to Monster Hunter World. With Bobby Kotick leaving ActiBlizz, Bel has stepped back into World of Warcraft and talks a bit about his thoughts so far and the inspirations taken from Guild Wars 2. From there we talk a bit about missing trade league despite how much of a capitalist nightmare it is and how it makes the players focus entirely on short-term gains. Bel talks a bit about how he has shifted his Chieftain into Righteous Fire and how it is a reasonable replacement for RF Juggernaut. Finally, some breaking news while we are recording… we talk a bit about the new FFXIV job Pictomancer, and the new limited job Beastmaster. Topics Discussed: Dave the Diver Dredge Crossover Super Mario RPG Remake Monster Hunter World World of Warcraft after 3 Years Away Influences from Guild Wars 2 Path of Exile The line goes up, and financialization of everything in another inflation league Righteous Fire Chieftain Missing Trade League Final Fantasy XIV New Dawntrail News Pictomancer Beastmaster OrcaCon

In this episode I try to do justice in describing OrcaCon, one of the best game conventions I have attended. It is a tabletop (board, card, dice, RPG, miniatures game convention in Bellevue, Washington. Incredibly friendly, inclusive and a convention (game or other) with a great purpose in honoring the Duwamish people! Huge space for game play with tons of tables, games to borrow and play or bring your own! We also played 30-33 games using 6 of the borrow games and playing a demo of a RPG for adults and kids (think D&D, but not D&D). I walk through each game as we enjoyed playing everyone and everyone of them highlighted different game mechanics and each was a piece of art that you can play!

Car Wars Tournament! So tell me what happens with you cross Game of Thrones with Car Wars? You get explosive awesomeness coupled with family backstabbing, BFF betrayals, and some dude who understood a little too late that physics can suck when a wall gets in the way of your car. So just for background this episode was played about seven months ago and basically we followed the OrcaCon Car Wars tournament in January by interviewing the players before and during the tournament and especially when they died. These .5 episodes are actually reruns of old Orcacon pod podcast episodes that never really was shared because we didn’t have an RSS feed at the time we made them, but some of the episodes were SO FREAKING AWESOME we had to play them under our new format so that EVERYONE would hear them. This is one of those episodes.
In this .5 episode we bring back an interview we did with Alex Jerabek last year. Alex talks about how he got into game development and started Cherry Picked Games. This is part of our .5 series where we repost OrcaCon Pod Podcast interviews that we did before GoC because we failed to create an RSS feed. in our orginal podcasts you could only access our podcast via soundcloud, you couldn't even subscribe. Now that we have a larger audience to market we decided to repost some of our gems.
