We tackle one of gaming's biggest genres - MMOs. We discuss play styles, settings, combat, raiding, community, what keeps you coming back, and what sends you away. After an hour, we'd talked about eight games and I can't help but feel like we were still only scratching the surface.

We talk about spending your money on what matters, comparing Star Citizen Arena Commander to Wings of Saint Nazaire . Then we touch on Endless Space and how Civilization Revolution 2 does everything wrong.

Correction: We say in the show that Wings of Saint Nazaire is made by college students but we were corrected by one of the developers:

@BBBGames Thanks for covering our game, great podcast! And we aren't all college students, two of us work, one is in college! - Wings of St. Nazaire (@WingsOfNazaire) July 8, 2014

Here's Anita Sarkeesian's video series, Tropes vs. Women . If you haven't checked this out, you really should. They take some time but they're worth it.

Some additional commentary about Rainbox Six's hostages, which really just makes it sound worse.
