The D6G Team — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 22:21:00 -0400

In Episode 54 we bring you games for all ages, Blue Oyster Cult, Peter Lipton, and even a singing muppet.

Meanwhile Total Fan Girl has scored an interview with Eric Bloom, the lead singer of Blue Oyster Cult!! Turns out he's a gamer.

Finally, back by popular demand (or at least that's what Hollywood tells us) Peter Lipton returns with "Inside the Podcasting Studio" and asks Raef, Russ, and Craig the questions everyone wants to know. (er again, that's what Raef tells us)

All that and our usual 'not too horrible' humor, with features such as:

The D6 Generation: D6G Ep 52: Patents, Warmachine Mk II, and Cryptology

The D6G Team — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 14:00:00 -0400

Cryptology, patents, Warmachine Mk 2 and even the CIA all get discussed this episode! Yep, we're not sure how that happened either.

First up, patents: how do they work and why do you need them? We had such a great response to our show about Trademarks we asked Romeo from Battlefoam to come on and talk about the how's and why's of patenting something like a fancy pants laser system to cut foam.

Later Total Fan Girl chats with Elonka Dunin, a world renown expert on cryptology who has done work for the CIA!! But more importantly, she's a gamer.

Finally, the D6G team takes a hard look at Warmachine Mark 2. The book has been out a couple months now, Force books are on the streets, and the boys have played more than a few games. Is it everything we hoped for?

Oh, and listen close to the beginning of the show for news about a new product from our friends at Lone Wolf Development!!
