While he was very nice and was trying to help you out, it was clear that he is jaded on mmo's and really had no desire to try a new game or play an mmo. Heck he did not even try to explore anything or do anything that took any thought at all while at the same time complaining those things do not exist. If you select a person that is already professed that he has no time or desire to play an mmo, then how can we expect decent trials on thier part? All he says is that he does not have time to do anything for craps sake! get folks who have some desire to actually try new games not folks doing it as a favor to you. This podcast has great potential if you make that change. I am listening to the wrap up and even you said you thank him for putting himself through this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get folks that are not fanbois or jaded, but folks that are open to playing a new game . Love the show but one piece of advice: select your noobs better.

Very thoughtful and much appreciated I am sure. To include all the above information for the new player interested in trying a game is a really nice touch.

I couldn't agree with you more. I happen to listen to podcasts like yours and others on the Virgin Worlds collective through headphones while at work. This allows me to tune out all the office gossip and general chatter about last night's TV shows. Ugh. Our TV at home isn't even hooked up. I rarely talk about my gaming hobby at work, I think mainly because no one would understand ("Okay, so last night you spent 3 hours playing a game on your computer where you rode around hunting and skinning wyvern whelps in a land called Telon? And that was fun? How old are you again?"). Oh well, I think I've come a long way in dealing with this as well. I certainly don't feel ashamed anymore. This is my hobby. Like you say, it's as legitimate as anybody else's. I’m sure I'll be playing games for many years to come. Good thing my wife is a gamer too. I wish you the best of luck on your new podcast and am looking forward to show #2. RC Well put, Jute. I couldn’t agree with you more.
