Episode 12 - Breaking Down Binaries: Casual vs Hardcore
Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at 11:13PM | Regina McMenomy, Ph.D. This week, Rhonda and I take on two very common terms in game culture: casual and hardcore gamers.
We talk with Toria and Mellisa about how they define a gamer, fandom, game culture, and game play. I must say this episode is full of excellent observations and more than a few fits of giggling. Truly an enjoyable episode to record and one I hope you'll enjoy.
From our cyber-mailbox, we further discuss the complications from losing your identity in game as we touched on in GoG Short #7 - For All the Toons We've Loved Before - and your responses to this week's Twitter question: What most negatively impacts your game experience?
As always, we'd love to hear your feedback on the episode. Leave a comment here or Drop us a Tweet @game_on_girl.

So... I vote for Mellisa to be on the show a handful of more times.
I totally second that idea. I might make her our "Mastery" expert. :)
