We say goodbye to Lieutenant Natasha Yar in the most effective, if not very meaningful, way. Our intrepid security officer is part of the away team that goes to the surface of Vagra II in search of Deanna Troi and the pilot of her crashed shuttle. In the way is an oil slick ... that moves and introduces itself as Armus. The slick is a dick, and it kills Yar off hand before having conversations with Troi in the shuttle, sucking Riker into itself and spitting him back out, and eventually arguing with Captain Picard before being abandoned forever. Science Officer Tanya DePass (@cypheroftyr on Twitter) joins the cultural bridge crew to discuss the demise of her favorite TNG character for this episode and connect the dots on Armus being the first cyber-bully doing it for the lolz. Jimmie G hosts for the first time and knocks it out of the park, Erik defends Denise Crosby, Greg made his kids cry watching this episode, and Kate is dumbfounded by the lack of weight to Tasha's death. So say we all.   Host: Jimmie G (@thejimmieg on IG & Twitter)  Panel: Greg Tito (@gregtito on Twitter, @greg_tito on IG), Erik Gratton (@erikfallsdown on Twitter & IG), Kate Jaeger (@jaegerlicious on Twitter and IG) and special guest Tanya DePass (@cypheroftyr on Twitter)  Audio Editor: Krista Curry (@kristafromglee on Twitter, krista.curry on IG) Logo artwork: @mojojojo_97 on Twitter, mojo97.com Theme music: Ryan Marth   Next up is "We'll Always Have Paris" s1e23 hosted by Greg!

Don't do drugs, kids! This episode is all about the dangers of addiction, or is it really just the start of an awesome Star Trek Acid Party. (I swear we'll stop talking about that video soon!)

On the latest GamesIndustry.biz Podcast, Rebekah and Marie are joined by USGamer's Mike Williams, as well as three special guests: freelance writer Aaron Lee, I Need Diverse Games founder Tanya DePass, and Melanin Gamers founder Annabel Ashalley-Anthony. Mike, Aaron, Tanya, and Annabel discuss being Black in the games industry, from issues of representation in games themselves to representation in the workplace, and the barriers facing Black professionals who wish to both enter and thrive in games. As a springboard for the discussion, the group referenced two recent articles: one on lifting the barriers faced by Black professionals in the games industry by Marie, and another specifically focused on representation in the UK games business by Aaron, both including interviews and insight from a number of Black professionals around the industry. You can find Marie's article here: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-10-27-lifting-the-barriers-for-black-professionals-in-the-games-industry And Aaron's here: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-10-22-we-need-a-real-shift-in-the-tide-black-professionals-talk-representation-in-the-uk-games-business As always, you can find more news, insight and analysis into the world behind video games at www.gamesindustry.biz.

We found another one folks, another victim of outrage culture but this time it is focused towards Nintendo and their new vuluptuous fighter from Arms, Twintelle.

Specifically, the fact she's a brown, female character with weaponized hair.” Her call to action: to tell us all how the "Twintelle blunder" is "an urgent reminder why better hair options matter."

Interview conducted March 16th, 2017.

In Episode 42, “Fresh Out of Tokens,” Elizabeth and Flourish talk to Tanya DePass, host of a podcast of the same name, founder of I Need Diverse Games, and author of a whole lot of Dragon Age fanfiction. They discuss gaming, fan/creator interaction, intersectionality, politics, and more. They also share a listener letter about game fandom and discuss the place of art in times of political crisis.

We invited Tanya DePass of I Need Diverse Games and the Fresh Out of Tokens Podcast to chat with us about Dragon Age and answer a whole lot of listener questions. What we've been up to (00:07:28) Tanya (@cypheroftyr) Final Fantasy XV Skyrim Special Edition Watch Dogs 2 Hip Hop Evolution NK Jemisin’s The Fifth Season Riley (@kaleri_) Overwatch Heroes of the Storm Descendents of the Sun Rogue One Princess Mononoke The Weeknd Starboy album It's Our Turn Podcast Pam (@jasyla_) Dead Rising 4 Epistory: Typing Chronicles Black Close The Ghost Girl in the Corner Dragon Age (00:28: 05) What is Dragon Age? How did we get into Dragon Age? How the series progresses Templars vs Mages Thoughts in representation of PoC in DA? The character creator is certainly getting better but the only NPCs of color seem to be human (unless I’m misremembering). Why not dwarves and elves? @The_Doc_Webb Tanya's article on representation in Dragon Age Which secondary character have you been the most sad not to be able to smooch? @mk_patter Varic writes books. Mordin sings in plays. What hobbies or side jobs do you envision your other DA and ME buds having? @OrkChop Best party composition for entertaining banter? Love the party members snarking at each other while we’re roaming around! @thornmallow DA is a series with really high stakes and where humanity (unlike in Mass Effect) is not that special. Do you appreciate that about it? @MtoAllPro Is there a moment in any DA that always makes you cringe (for any reason) playing through it? @TimpoAdante DA:O's Deep Roads, "A good way to spend an afternoon" or "Is there an end to this"? What did you think? @estelliaslair In your mind are the Wardens good guys, bad guys, neither, and why? I see them more as a necessary evil than anything else. Thus why my warden was super evil and a jerk. @MtoAllPro Are you disappointed that we never get to experience the Warden's adventures in DA:I (as seen in Leliana quests)? @estelliaslair Is the Inquisition set to be good for later games or will it be corrupted like the Wardens, Templar, Circles and every other organization. @MtoAllPro Which DA do you feel has the best story? Does it also have the best characters? @TimpoAdante Most bittersweet romance? My vote is for a devout Inquisitor romancing Cassandra as she becomes Divine. @The_Doc_Webb If you’ve got any feedback, questions, people or topics you’d like to hear on future episodes of the show, you can reach out at MediaMavensCast@gmail.com or on Twitter @_MediaMavens.

In which guest Tanya DePass visits the Disruption holiday party, which inevitably leads to the gadget apocalypse. Sorry, not sorry.

The sixth of a ten part series looking at the aftermath of the Pulse shooting in Orlando, solely through the voices of members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Following the shooting, I began seeing members of the community openly worrying on social media, understandably for their lives, but also about the packaging of the attack both by major news outlets and elected officials. It seemed like coverage of the shooting was overwhelmingly formatted as cisgender, heterosexual people talking about members of the queer and Latinx community rather than talking to them. After frustrating hours of fruitlessly searching for perspective from the actual communities affected, I remembered that, in this modern world, I didn’t have to wait for any other outlet to have these conversations for me; I could do it myself. As I started thinking about the project, something else became painfully obvious to me: I couldn’t wrap my head around the weight of 49 lives lost. I heard about a news anchor reading all 49 names on air, and was surprised to hear that this simple act took seven minutes. That number, 49, by itself, can feel small. 49 cents, 49 seconds. I wanted to understand the enormity, the massive loss of life, by talking to 49 people who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community, to understand that weight. The interviews here are presented chronologically by recording date. I spoke with the interviewees for this episode on June 16, just four days after the attack, and where they’ve given permission, I’ve included their Twitter handles: 26.

We have an exciting show this week, a great conversation about gaming and diversity with Tanya DePass. I found out about Tanya and #INeedDiverseGames thanks to an article I read on Offworld. I'm conscious that the majority of my guests so far are a bunch of white guys, I'm interested in talking to a diverse set of interesting people from around the world so I thought it would be great to find out more about the "I Need Diverse Games" community with Tanya. We have a lovely conversation about Tanya's background as a gamer, both video games and tabletop, her time spent in Japan for studies, her background in computer science and human computer interaction, how #INeedDiverseGames started as an angry tweet from Tanya and grew into a full time activity, her activities as a diversity liaison with conventions like GaymerX and more. Tanya also co-hosts a gaming audio podcast, Fresh Out of Tokens (iTunes / Stitcher), that I also highly recommend you go check out, there are some great conversations about gaming and with game designers. I've listened to a couple of episodes so far and thoroughly enjoyed them.

Henson's brilliant new role. They also get into some HTGAWM chat after the show's return from a long, cold hiatus. Finally, they talk to #INeedDiverseGames creator, Tanya DePass (@cypheroftyr), about underserved markets in gaming, the relationship between games and storytelling, and the need for representation of marginalized groups.
