This week on EndgameRadio, we run down some random newsynews:
Team Fortress 2 has some pending gameplay tweaks, like changes to the medic, pyro and soldier. Ewe Boll quits/retires/downgrades to smaller movies, so he doesn’t lose so much cashola anymore. The Mass Effect Sex Scandal is re-opened, when some clueless guy talks a bunch of crap about some stuff he has no idea what he’s talking about. We also rave and rant about Mirros Edge, Assassins Creed, and why we think more game characters should be better at life then we are. Also, games make us look at the world differently after we’ve played them for a long time..
Rock concert in TF, on one of awesome Xenon’s levels!

China’s drive to impose social and political “harmony” on the internet has claimed a new set of victims: undead skeletons. Chinese players of World of Warcraft, a hugely popular online role-playing game, have expressed outrage after their ‘undead skeleton’ characters were suddenly clad in new flesh, apparently in order to comply with a secret government ban on bare bones.
This makes at least the second time China has shaped the biggest MMO in the world. The first being the decision to not allow Pandarin as the first race expansion. (It’s illegal to portray Pandas getting harmed in China.)

LOL OKSHOW HAS REACHED LEVEL 70, LOLOLOL.
Today we will talk about insensitivity and the internet. Do they go hand in hand? Does anonymity really change the way we look at things? Has Pen turned into a giant prick? Are we all being numbed by violence and media? Do we all think tree hugging hippies should just jump off a bridge?

This week we dip into some recent and hot Eve Online contraversy. Supposedly some dramas went down, when the Goonfleet, (the in-game fleet of Something Awful forum goons,) supposedly organized a dramabomb, fingers are pointed but the conflict escalated to the point that forums were taken down. The Goonfleet accuses the makers of Eve Online of some things. Eve Online is one of the best ’sandbox’ games where players themselves regulate the game and the economy, and for this reason, we’re fascinated by it. We think it would be pretty cool to make make a reality tv show based on Eve; hire a group of people to play the game ’serious’ and treat it like running a real company; have managers, supervisors, enforcers, etc. Or play it completely offline, where someone acts as a commander and only uses traditional online means of communication, like chat, ventrilo and forums, to direct an in-game organization, similar to how there’d be a man in an office telling a fleet to do things.

More people are getting into trouble for designing making FPS game maps of their school; we find an excellent point. You draw/design/create what you know best. Live gaming tournament at a big movie theater out here, we might check it out. Torturing kids at home and at school for bad and bad. Simpsons - The game is coming out and it’s going to be huge. We discuss the Simpson games over the ages! Lastly, we’re hitting up the Southn California Classic Collectors meetup. Lots of arcade cabinets, Tron playing on the screen.

Duke Nukem Forever - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Going off the Wiki:
Duke Nukem Forever was officially announced on April 27, 1997 along with the purchase of a license to use the Quake II engine.
I was 16? 17? I think we were playing the Duke Nukem 3D around that time. Our favorite thing to do was to play either the first or second levels, but only play with pistols and shotguns; the fights were slow enough that you could get some really cool gunfights.
It’s been TEN FUCKING YEARS. What were you doing a DECADE AGO?
Continuing DNF coverage on Kotaku.

Study finds stable personalities unaffected by violent games
The authors of the study note that the literature contains a combination of studies that show a connection between aggression and violent games, others that showed no such connection, and a few studies showing that gaming reduced aggression. They claim that their study is unique in that it considers the possibility that these represent three distinct responses to gaming, and suggest that prior studies may have produced conflicting results by trying to shoehorn these into a binary classification.
The studies go back and forth. Back and forth. Forever.

Denis Dyack calls out the Big Game Industry, saying we need to change the conventions of marketing and how we promote games, even before they are done. We respond to his crazy-go-nuts rant with our own. One of our more academic and media-based discussions, so wear your thinking beanie. We also take a quick look at the newly-released Armory for World of Warcraft, and what happens once you remove some privacy in such a big game.
