We bring you a merry netcast,
We bring you a merry netcast,
The last one of the year (maybe)!
Carie Ward, Brooke Thompson, Sean C. Stacey and Jackie Kerr return to sling the ARG dirt with Jonathan Waite. Episode seven is a doozy, clocking in at 1 hour and 7 minutes, but it’s definitely something that’ll warm your heart this holiday season.

Game News
- A bit more on the Lost Planet ARG we talked about last week, which Carie wrote about on Wednesday.
- Lawn Games For Life is sweeping the U.S. with geocaching and puzzle solving. Not only did Carie write about it for us here, but she also started a guide. You go, girl!
This is also our Puzzle of the Week, as the players need help getting to items left in the Southwestern U.S. - Steve Peters of 42 Entertainment continues on his cross-podcast tour with an exciting and informative interview with GeeksOn.
- Enoch of Gatewood is new on the scene, but the story leaves us giggly.
- The creator of Hell Is Not Gone asks for help in advertising their game, almost a month after players were first pointed to it. By him.
- Jericho may have something ARGish brewing for their off-season, but if they don’t, it’d be a shame.
- Second Life Future Salon panel discussion on ARGs took place on the 27th of November, we hope to have access to the audio from that discussion soon.
- EDOC Laundry stirs back to some sort of life, partly by accident. Whatever the case, this might be your chance to get in on the ground floor, again.
Topic Discussions
- How many characters spoil the ARG? Is there a point where there’s just too many people to keep track of?
- The IGDA ARG SIG (International Game Developer’s Association Alternate Reality Gaming Special Interest Group, phew) releases a whitepaper. Hot topic, great discussion.
Listener Email
- xnbomb talks about YMMV.
- Lou, now reaching stalker status, has a crush on one (or more) of our panelists.
- “Bob” doesn’t like when we talk history. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it (or have us talk about it).
Assorted Stuffins
- Unfiction auctions are starting up soon — watch ARGNet for more details.
- Jackie will be speaking at some… scientific… thingy. She’s smart!
- Carie has deep, deep sadness for her USC Trojans.
Happy Holidays!
- We might be back next week, but we might not. If not, have a great holiday, faithful listeners!
