The Illusion of Choice, a Heavy Rain introspective.

Role-playing games - a story of evolution, imagination, and scandal. OK, maybe not scandal, but Alon does tell a quick story of accidentally watching some gay porn in college.

Ara's upset about the comments on his recent Gamasutra.com article - http://fwd4.me/E3o - so we're led to clarify his intentions and further consider the difficulty of combining narrative and gameplay. Go read it and email us your thoughts. Alon questions the motives of Playboy in its appeal to the gamer demographic.

Ara wrote an article for Gamasutra.com - The Uneasy Merging of Narrative and Gameplay. We talk about it.

ChatterBox has now officially been on the air for over six years. Though we don't do anything out of the ordinary to celebrate, we do have a great show. Maybe it's because Rich is gone. We discuss the upcoming XBOX 360 controller from Razer, we interview Ashish Mistry from KontrolFreek.com, and we tell stories of 8-bit pranksters and durability tests. FYI, get 10% off products from KontrolFreek.com with the code CHATBOX. Ara kind of loves their stuff, so you might too.
