That was cool. Far more casual and almost watercooler in a way.

Lot's covered too!

iPhone gaming - I haven't purchased too many games. Of course, Zoo Lasso being the culprit there ;)
But I stick to the free Tap Tap Revenge and quizzes as they provide the quick fun that I'm after.
Still haven't tried Doodle Jump but everyone raves on about it.
You know what I thought should have got a mention? Bubble Wrap and Paper Toss. Those are damn enjoyable :)

Gaming Mirrors - I'm not sure what gaming mirrors for me...maybe more the vicarious nature and escapism it supplies is what I enjoy. In that world I'm not me but a million different characters.
But then online MP is a WHOLE different story :P

Collecting In Games - Agreed with Lucy on this one. I used to be all about collecting, but it comes down to time now. If I don't have the time to do it I won't. Of course there are times where if I love the game enough, I find time (Hi BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM) or if I wanna trophy/achievement wh**e.
But if there's no merit behind it, I'll just leave it. Like I did with Assasin's Creed I (Curse those flags...).

GREAT PODCAST GUYS!

Sorry...I really don't have any topics...OOOO...hang on! GOT ONE!

E-mailing now :P

Great podcast. You are probably the best podcast on my download list atm. I was playing doodle jump whilst I listened. I have a lot of cheap time waster games on my iPhone, probably Plants Vs Zombie is the most story I want in a game on the iphone.

I feel left out for not having an iPhone.

My gaming "style" is to either give up quickly or google for cheats. I am now concerned what this says about my personality.

I really like the achievements thing, not because it gives me some sense of accomplishment, only because if I say that I have finished something on the hardest difficulty and someone challenges that I can prove it =D

interesting listen.

i lol'd at the trophies in RL,
+trophy for eating nachos.
not a great idea tbh, maybe physical activity trophies would be a good way to motivate kids though.
An interesting concept to get the youth fitter maybe?
