Aeropodcast #42: The Animal Crossing Intervention

By Joe Haygood | July 28, 2008

This week, George, Joe and the other Joe are back, and talking about a topic that is probably near and dear to a gamer’s heart.  Gamers and the crazy things that they do for their games.  Is it addiction, or just good fun.  Joe took the cake with his mention of taking days off of work to spend in-game holidays with his Animal Crossing game.  And here we thought our intervention would have to be for George, who had to be dragged away from World of Warcraft five minutes before recording.  While we have fun, we do have to realize that if you are at an Internet cafe playing for 80 hours straight, you might want to look into therapy.

We also discussed our current contests, and news including Microsoft finally realizing that they cannot charge for online play on the PC, Nintendo’s apology to the hardcore gamers, and Kaz taking a bullet rather than taking an exclusive.

Thanks as always to Mixmaster Stephen and his wheels of steel for mixing the podcast this week, and to Revolution Void for our bumper music.  You can find them at www.revolutionvoid.com.
