Episode 34 - Brains and Games: Jodi Black and Family

This week we present to you another fabulous gaming family. We talk with Jodi Black from Beautiful Brains Books and Games and her two daughters, Bethany and Trinity.

Listen to hear the girls talk about DMing their first games (at nine, yes 9! years old!) and Jodi talk about the important role gaming plays in their family life.

Make sure to check out MACE Con (November 2-4 in Charlotte, NC) where Jodi and the girls will be leading an entire track dedicated to gaming kids.

In pop culture news, we talk about a recent episode of The Big Bang Theory, "The Re-entry Minimization." Our community discussion focuses on your responses to the provocative question: Will the term gamer become obsolete?

We'd love to hear your feedback in the comments. Is gaming a family event for you? A good way to bond? What are some of the ways you learned about good sportsmanship? 

Until next time, game on!

We start the show out with our pop culture segment, where we discuss a new Disney movie coming out in November. Check out the Wreck It Ralph trailer here. 

Our Twitter and Facebook discussions were about Gamification, in honor of our guest from Episode Eight - Endorphin Dude (Tony Nguyen) finishing his first 100 miler! Listen to hear how gamification does and doesn't work for our listeners. 

We'd love to hear your stories about gaming with your family in the comments. What are your favorite games to play with family? My mom loves to play Five Crowns every time I visit. I'm thinking about taking Rebekah's suggestion of Sleeping Queens with me on my next trip home.
