This week's podcast was broadcasted live on Twitch! If you'd like to get in on that, just go to www.twitch.tv/partyinviteshow on Thursday nights and chat us up.

 This week's Party Topic was inspired by Tegan's viewing of a stream by MortisTheSaurus - Twitch, who was playing the MMO New World's beta, which recently ended.

Whenever a game or service ends, things get a little crazy, and it was not an exception--we talk about the end of gaming worlds that we've experienced and why they're such a good time.

Defined as "the behavior and attitudes that stem from strong loyalty to one's own tribe or social group," gaming tribalism has been commonplace in the industry since the very first console war.
