Quick Plug

Hey ITC'ers,

Just wanted to give a quick reminder that we're looking for your Christmas wish-lists for this next episode. You can send them in email form or just put a note in the comments listing what you're hoping to see under the tree this year. And just as a heads-up, part two of our Portrayal of Men in Gaming show is now available, so check it out if you haven't already.

Thanks everybody, we look forward to hearing from you.

Grr... ARGH!

Hey all you out there in ITC-land.

So I sit here at work and need to get a post up for this show. I'm only about 5 days late this time. So we sat in that studio for 2 long grueling hours coming up with something believable in regards to men in video games. Now we had hoped to get amazing, wonderful e-mails from you good folks to help carry us through, but apparently you'd rather listen to us talk. Which is great.

SO anyhoo. You should take a listen to parts one and two and try really hard to answer the trivia question this week. It's a doozy.

As for next time... Oh crap. I forgot what our next show is... Give me a sec..

Okay so I'm an idiot. I actually knew it, but still had to text Fil to make sure. We are doing our Annual Wish List Show!!! So we REALLY need your input. With the Christmahanukwanzakah season coming up we want to know what you will be asking your patron saint/deity/significant other/parent figure for this year. What is it that you are so looking forward to you are willing to wait until someone else sticks it in paper for you to unwrap weeks later? I kid though. We really do want to hear from YOU! So let us know. Or you get 2 hours of our lists. And that'll just be dull...

Who Are We?

We are the chosen ones. We are the soldiers rushing into battle. We are the hunters in the woods. We are the saviors of the princess and the thugs on the streets. We are the adventurers, traveling the dusty paths and through the thick forests in search of treasure and glory with our companions. By the way, we are the companions, as well. The starship pilots; the Super Bowl MVPs; the heavyweight champions; we are they. We are the mages, the street racers, the musicians, and the Jedi warriors. We are the demons in the night, and the avengers that hunt them. We are your closest enemy, and your best friend. We are the men inside your video games, and you are what we are. But the question still remains; who are we?
On the next new Inside the Console, we will attempt to answer that question. On the next show, the guys will examine, well, guys. More specifically, the guys in the games that we play and how they are portrayed. As the show approaches, please take a minute to answer a few questions for us.

Do you see the men in video games as true to life portrayals of real men?
Do you feel that men video games can be role models? If so, how?
Have you ever been offended by a male character in a game? If so, what character and how did that portrayal offend you?
Are there any male characters in any games that you would want to hang out with?
If you are a person who dates men, are there any male video game characters you would date?
Is this a subject that you have ever given any thought to before now?
