Ok what's that game you mentioned and Susan said really slowly.

Btw you made every possible point about free to play model games which is great.

If you skip to 19:23, you'll bypass our discussion of Game of Thrones.

pretty fun convo... Alice darkness return, should have made wonderland a vast massive unique landscape that changes as u run therough it, and u can lterally run around in circle like a maze, with key puns, riddles and other stuff that u must used to lead your ways... finding your way through the maze of lovel scenery... story wise, u get to a certain area and the event starts... and certain places would have nightmare creasture xD jsut a concept =/= a good game.. i can see my flaws, jsut gotta spew it out now XD

Just after "Smoke the blood for 20" xD.

Was that smiley to note that you know it's really "Smoke the blunt 420"?

 

[Zenron]

Still no ability to download the podcast? Only ever loads the first couple of minutes before I reach the buffering stage, and I don't want to sit at my computer listening to it. So, I don't think I'm going to listen to this one, even though conversations about game of thrones and TF2 is a great combination.

You guys address Subscription model and the Free-to-play model... What are your thoughts on the hybrid "Buy-to-play" business model (Buy the box, no sub fee. The best example of it is Guild Wars.)? Would you assume that because they're not charging subscriptions that "they don't care about the content" or "they know it's crap", as Susan said about f2p games?
