International Detective Dragons From Outer Space

A wonderful conversation with Sarah and Nev of "Does My Geek" ranging in topics from Second Life to Podiobooks to Digital Oddities. The very first IDDFOS skype chat!

A Mile marker of an episode! Forty shows. ( more really ) Phew! I'm amazed. And I thank you all for listening! This episode includes emails, news, really nifty links - and a summation of episodes 21 through 39 spoken in Three Minutes and Fifteen Seconds (chipmonk style). A compact episode, but a rich one. Hope you enjoy!

A continuation of the Artificial Intelligence topic from episode 38. Robots. . Computers . . Eventual self awareness? No absolutely final answers, but at least one more question. Will it matter if they become self-aware or not? Won't most people believe that they have wills and minds of their own regardless of the circuitry ?

Anim5 comes crawling back from a craven panic toward the microphone. Fifteen years of employment at a theatrical landmark are very likely to end soon. Change terrifies me.

But it's the tiny doses of HOPE that the change won't happen that are doing the most damage.

Rolls of the cosmic dice and how they change our lives, plus further exploration of gender issues in gaming. A ton of excellent emails!

The road to hell is paved with spray adhesive and cardboard. And PROCRASTO, the demon overlord of procrastination, will eventually get around to seeing you there.

A great mix of nifty emails from Sarah, Camera Guy, James and Thayan. This episode's topic: Gender issues in Tabletop RPG's and MMO's - specifically the view

and treatment of female characters. Multiple viewpoints and some very interesting conclusions.

Computer and Console gaming from a woman's perspective. A frank and candid interview with Mrs. anim5 about gender issues in online MMO's and electronic entertainment in general.

Hopping from Day to Day, Hour to Hour and from one microphone to another - This episode reads feedback and attempts to explore the mystery, popularity and

gross stupidities of dining on misery. What the hell is up with all these people who

accentuate the negative ALL the time? - And what about the irrational popularity of reading

seeing and hearing all about celebrity X every time he/she dresses badly gains 2 pounds or

does something imperfect? New Members and fun activity on the IDDFOS forums - We welcome Veilelt to the Frappr Map . . . Plenty O'Stuff in this show. Not enough functioning brain in anim5 to get it posted last week where it belonged.

Do we humans create our own reality through shared and focused

belief? Do we turn our Myth into Truth effecting that reality in tangible ways? And, Are dogs

more important than people? - Plenty of Quality and quantity in the way of Listener feed back! We hear from the Stealth Geek, Mister Tee, Sarah, Maddrjeffe, James Stubbs, Murray, Curt the Camera Guy, Draco-X and we have THREE new members of the Frappr Map to welcome!
