Back in May I was approached by Kris Ligman from PopMatters' multimedia section, which is the portion of the site dedicated to games (supposedly other media, but I have only ever noticed games), to appear on their podcast about inclusivity. After a bit of planning, our very own FaePuck joined me, as did Alexandra Raymond from The Border House(who was on the same panel with TinyDancer at this year's PAX East). The final cast was us three along with Ligman hosting, and Moving Pixels regulars Nick Dinicola and G. Christopher Williams.
The topic was generally about inclusivity, and that included topics of sexuality, race, sex, gender presentation, and all such like things. We broached topics like representation, larger studios versus indie and who can do what, communities, why sites like ours and The Border House exist, et cetera.
One of the questions towards the end is coming up with developers we thought were making interesting cases for inclusivity in their games, and both Alex Raymond and I realized after that we forgot to give a mention to Choice of Games(who haven't released anything new in a while...). Of course, if you have further suggestions, I would love to hear them.
To listen to the podcast, you can either go to their site and download it directly, or I've embedded the file below so you can listen right from the comfort of this browser tab.
Many thanks to the Moving Pixels staff for inviting us, and to my fellow guests, FaePuck and Alexandra Raymond.
This week's installment starts off with some good results tempered with some mild complaining about Your Shape Fitness Evolved's motion tracking. Then moves on to some more talk about Rock Band 3. Maybe there's not as many people playing online to join up with, but that doesn't stop you from playing with yourself — if you know what I mean! (And no, I don't mean that!)
Another week, another podcast! This time the guys talk NGP, Fox News, Dragon Quest and more!

Hi everyone! I'm Drand and I'm going to be helping out around here. I'll be fixin' up corners of the GayGamer Castle, putting fresh straw in FruteBrute's Brutorium, and helping out my husbear, TinyDancer, with his evil experiments down in the laboratory.
But first and foremost, it's my pleasure to bring the triumphant return of the GayGamer.net podcast!
Please enjoy it! There are many more to come thanks to the pretty pink shotgun I have pointed at Tiny's head. Be sure to check back often for lots of little improvements and one major overhaul.

Scott Johnson, cartoonist and hardcore gamer is a funny guy. As CEO of Frog Pants Studios he spends his time and talent producing a various webcomics and podcasts that cater to the hardcore gaming and tech community.
One of his more popular comics is the bi-monthly series Extra Life. Started in 2001, Scott's blend of wry humor and personal observations of gaming culture make for terribly funny strips that accurately express the climate of its surrounding community. This strip was published by Crispy Gamer until its closure in January of this year.
Scott also pens the popular Experience Points that draws from his apparent love of World of Warcraft and the general community surrounding all things MMORPG.
Scott's many Podcasts supplement his comic's snarky humor and are as diverse as gaming culture itself. Ranging from his now defunct Extra Life Radio to the iPhone app and tech podcast AppSlappy, Johnson covers the gamut of geekery with his affable nature and personal touch. You can tell he loves his work and lives for gaming culture.
Another of his popular podcasts, The Instance, also has a burgeoning guild in WoW named Alea Iacta Est or AIE. Anyone who listens is invited to join the 450,000 plus members in one of the largest guilds in North American servers. Scott plays a level 80 Orc Hunter named Gerp.
