Ara tells us about Persona 3, his new favorite RPG about high school kids who take on the undead. He also tells us a bit about the nuts and bolts behind the design of The Red Star. Then we hear from Michaela who tells about some of the evil she conducted trying to recruit innocent students to a game design program that wasn't worth a damn.

Fresh from the Game Developers Conference, we have an interview with James Silva, the sole developer of the upcoming XBOX LIVE Arcade game, The Dishwasher.

Alon's off to the Game Developers Conference this week, so Ara and Rich run the show. Alon calls in from a party down at the GDC, but this is mostly an opportunity for Ara to shine like he always wants to.

Priests on crack, Nintendo with crap, and superfans with emails full of sap. EA CEO, John Riccitiello, came out of the closet saying that EA totally screwed up for the last 15 years. We also pre-interview Michaela who will be our next video game playing experiment test subject. She doesn't know a damn thing about games right now.

Ara is upset that militant femi-nazi writers put their thoughts on paper for him to see and talk about old men playing games like young boys. This leads nicely into discussion of the recent study that claims men are more naturally drawn to games due to an inherent difference in brain response. Although a listener then claims this is definitive proof that women are dumb, Rich proves he's the one behind the curve when he seems surprised that Nintendo creates artificial shortages.
