That should be when this goes up if things aren't horribly wrong.

My name is Julian Murdoch sitting in for Sean Andrich who has syphilis. Again, it keeps

happening. I don't know what's going on there. Rewrhic. Chronic syphilis. Just tough luck for him.

To my virtual left is the non-sophilitic other Sean, Mr. Sean's ants. Yeah, but I have like

seven other social diseases. So social, which is different than sexual social diseases is

what i'm like just too happy all the time is that the social disease and uh and mr allen cook who i

think is disease free no i got lupus it's not lupus. Geez. Every time.

We're running a short crew as sometimes happens after three and a half hour death

match shows.

I think a few people needed to bandage their wounds and take a week off.

But we'll make it happen somehow.

This week we're going to talk about achievement in game.

No, not achievements, not little chivovos that show up, but the things that we do in games and whether

they're satisfying, whether they are contradictory to fun or the fun in themselves. But first,

and of course we'll take your emails, but first we're going to talk about games we're playing

right now. And Alan,

dying to hear about this game you've been playing. It involves small animals.

That would be shelter. I would ask you to get more specific, but I don't play a lot of small animal games. So, there's Tokyo Jungle and then they're shelter.ter and they have nothing to do with each other.

In Shelter, you play as a mama badger with a litter or whatever they call it of baby badgers.
