Dice Guys Audio Podcast 006: It’s in the Bag!

Nothing really pithy to say here, so let’s get on with the notes!

SHOW NOTES

• Mike talks some more about the website being even more ready for human eyes instead of just search engine crawlers, but nothing else much happened to  him this week
• Jason has been caught up in politics and work, so nothing else much happened to him either
• The Guys took a road trip to two local game stores, however, (Go! Games and Little Shoppe of Games), and their week suddenly got brighter.

Brain Flakes

• Dianne Rees provides a listing of introductory resources for board games on her Instructional Design Fusion blog at Atomic Meme. She has some great picks for beginning a look at games from an educational perspective.
• A family gets lost in a corn maze and calls 911. Whaaaaa–?
• SCIENCE! Who knew? Taking ecstasy can kill certain blood-based cancers. And now scientists have developed a form of the drug that you don’t have to take massive doses of and die from to cure the cancer. Coming next: Raves at hospitals!
• The Book Larder in Seattle tries something a little different to get people off the internet and into their store.

Features

• How to pick games for your game night. Don’t get caught in the “I don’t know, what do you want to play?” loop!
• Where is the advertising for board games? Only on the internet? Why is that?

Picks of the Week
