After a long break Carlos and BJ return to wade through a huge collection of free to play video games, then they battle shoddy internet connections (apologies for the rough edit in the middle), and finish with a review of Asian horror movies.

Start Kicking….
I thought it might be nice for us to have a place for Basement dwellers to mention stuff they’re kickstarting, or stuff they think others might be interested in Kickstarting. I figure the comments make a reasonable facsimile of a thread….
Speaking of isms in geekery…
Lots of things have come up this week.
- Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting – Author John Scalzi attempts to talk about privilege in a gamified way, because a lot of people get freaked out by the term.
- A Look at Sexism in Fantasy by Sarah Darkmagic. This is in reaction to the Sexism in Fantasy article at WotC that BJ and I briefly touched on at the end of the last podcast. (Also, the Prismatic Art Collection Kickstarter that she’s running will be over soon, so check it out.)
- (Trigger warning: sexual assault.) Finally, Kickstarter Cancels Tentacle Rape Card Game, from the Border House blog. Links to a lot of related discussion there. (I believe there will be additional commentary from Geek Girls Rule soon.) This one brings up lots of issues, so I’m really interested in what she’s going to say.
