Aeropodcast #28: Guilty Pleasures and Ginger Lynn
George and Stephen joined Joe this week with an Aeropodcast that was all over the map, going everywhere from politics in games, to full motion video games, to Daikatana and at one point working in Ginger Lynn and Mark Hamill references.
Today we looked at all of our guilty pleasures and why we are driven to them. Immediately, Joe lost all of his PC street cred when he admitted to secretly enjoying Daikatana due to it being “so bad it is funny”. Stephen talked about the Megaman franchise and enjoying almost all of those games. George explained how he felt that World of Warcraft was a guilty pleasure for him, because he can’t explain why he still plays it. He also brought up Hellgate: London, which prompted a bit of heckling..
We then turned to politics, with this being an election year in the US, and decided to look at the candidate’s stands on video games. The two liberal candidates feel that there might be some need for modification to the ratings system, while John McCain feels the system is good now, and should just be monitored. We also tried to classify whether this is a liberal or conservative issue, but we all agreed with Stephen’s point that it all depends on the individual’s definition of liberal or conservative.
William H had the correct answer to our trivia question, and he has won a copy of Audiosurf, Half Life 2 and Half Life 2: Episode 1. Eric Kranz also had a question about his ongoing gaming PC build. He had some issues with temperatures and wanted a good heatsink that he could put in that would not require him to remove the motherboard. Joe recommended an Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7

Awesome, that’s the one I ordered. It’s sitting at my apartment right now just waiting to be mounted.
I look forward to listening, I’m enjoying the special attention.
It would be nice if you called the “two liberal candidates” by name, a distinction you granted the…what would the opposite of liberal be? Reactionary candidate “John McCain”?
I think the politicians have no place in this issue. It’s all up to Congress, and we all know what great leaders they’ve been during this current Presidency.
In case you’re not sure what I mean, Congress hasn’t done anything but sign everything the President wants and it’s doing great!
Yeah that’s sarcasm too.
This will probably get me kicked out of gaf and the hardcore gamers club, but I love sports games. A bunch of my friends and I take off on Madden release day and play tournaments all day long. Baseball and hockey games are also some of my favorites. NHL08 and MLB08: The Show are two of the best sports games since the SNES days.
The only time I really feel “guilty” about it though, is when I listen to just about every podcast in existence rag on sports games/gamers.
yeah i won grilled cheese for all.thanks aeropause.and great podcast as always.
