Steam and the anything goes mentality - now they have competition in the form of epic, discord and gog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUHl9ZThXU0 https://tagn.wordpress.com/2019/03/08/steam-policy-plays-out-as-expected/ 2. With Epic Games, Good Old Games, Discord and Origin now competing against steam is this a case similar to what we see with streaming services with everyone trying to grab a "piece of the pie" when there is only so much pie to go around?

Welcome to show 203! This time out the No Prisoners, No Mercy Team talks about the following subjects 1. A primer for pvp games - the good, the bad and the frustrating 2.

Do we really need professional reviewers of movies and games. More than once I have read reviews saying movies (like the latest Star Wars movie) are terrible - only to go on to make incredible amounts of money (Star Wars the Last Jedi has now made more than one billion dollars world wide). Many times I find myself saying as I read a reviewer that hated a fun movie "if you want heavy handed drama go watch an Ingmar Bergman movie". With so many streaming services is the service of a "professional reviewer" about as useful as a buggy whip? Do they still have an affect on the movie and gaming industry.…

What caught our eye, however, was that both Mr. K. and Mr. S. are both trained video game developers. We have often discussed the video game industry from the standpoint of individuals who have been involved with it for a long time. We thought it was time to discuss it with two individuals who are just starting out. See you online, Julie Whitefeather and Fran Kosac…

Show Notes: Welcome to Show 84! This time we start with a tale of divine intervention and the unlucky thief. Sister Julie gets her kicks somewhere besides Route 66 (and along with way get’s rapped but not on the knuckles). Next the first shoe drops for Trion Worlds in Kabniel’s last hurrah. Along the way we discuss why, after three shots at it by triple-A developers, the public quest game mechanic still has not been properly executed. In the second half of the show we talk about Sony Computer Entertainment of America (SCEA) vs. George Hotz and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. As a result Anonymous appears to have brought the hammer down on SCEA. Warning: Show 84 has an explicit rating…

Welcome to Show 67! Bobby Kotick et al, easy going guys, slap a bear in the face. Blizzard tries to turn rotten lemons into lemonade and fails, but manages to keep spaceships out of World of Warcraft (sort of). The sisters step through the really, REALLY Dark Portal with some fantastic ideas from The Pink Pigtail Inn [http://www.pinkpigtailinn.com/] and realize that it’s the journey that counts and not the destination. Breakfast isn’t ready because Julie can’t fry an egg in her bra, but the sisters pass the roles anyway. And Fran puzzles out the first great game. Julie and Fran…
Welcome to route 66! This was a week of bad computers, Everquest 2 players getting slapped down and the great wall of SOE going up. Along the way we find out why you can start sending your hate mail to Mickey Rat, and why Senator Al Franken is concerned about two companies that have been stomping around yelling Fe, Fi, Fo, Fum (we agree). We fill out the rest of the show with talk of trailers and why Ed Norton is out and Karl Urban is in. Julie and Fran…

Welcome to Show 64! This week it’s back to the future. No, not some movie about time travel. We mean back to the old format - Just two nuns, Fran’s delightful sense of humor and the news of the week. Grabbing for the brass ring or the nose ring? Fad or Fame? Day late and Dollar Short? The Department of Homeland IN-security What do you call a football stadium full of lawyers? “Will the defendants in rows A through F please rise?” And a discussion prompted by the new All Points Bulletin game: What would you put up with in a game to keep the Free in “Free to Play”? What would you put up with in your favorite subscription game to have it be free to play?…

This week Julie tries to dub her own dialogue and makes a mistake (either that or she is having an identity crisis). Molly makes a return visit by way of a classic clip from show 18 to give us all SPOILER WARNING (yes that smell is spoiled dog). Julie has so much fun in the Lost Isles in Cataclysm she has to censor herself. Fran and Julie spend “Thirty Seconds Over the Lost Isles”. Julie “Illinois Jones” discusses the archeology profession with Fran. Blizzard takes the rubber tip off hunter’s arrows. The NPNM team realizes some games aren’t even worth playing for free. The NPNM team puts a positive spin on Jack Emmert. The “Red Shirt Guy” confounds Chris Metzen and ends up a World of Warcraft character (Yay!!). The U.S. Air force turns out to be fans of the Transformers. The artists formerly known as Mythic take Warhammer “pay to not play”. To skip the cataclysm spoilers fast forward to time 29:45 Julie and Fran…

The sisters call out Chris Columbus for being 500 years late. Sister Julie gives in to that new beta smell. Once again the NPNM team gets MAD AS HELL, and this time takes aim at WoW patch 4.01 - Learning along the way that there IS somewhere to go from bottom. The NPNM team has their own special interpretation of WoW’s massive subscriber base. It turns out that numbers may fib a bit, but never outright lie. The smell you THINK you smell is NOT spoiled dog – it’s a Cataclysm spoiler warning. (To skip Cataclysm Spoilers jump to time 45:48 in the show). On the after show we chat about EQ2 extended changes.

The sisters realize this is Deja Vu all over again with Groucho Marx. - NC Soft gets hit with a suit that claims the Devil didn't make the plaintiff do it even though he hasn't bathed in 20,000 hours. - EA and APB on the PDQ and the "real" story - The sisters take a brief look at a bunker somewhere in Stockholm, Sweden - Love is in the virtual air and uses augmented reality - Our good friend and author J.T. Hamption stops by briefly at the end of the show to share Sister Julie's birthday and chat about the Chicago Comic Con.

Groucho responded with an utterly ridiculous storyline, and, sure enough, received another stern letter requesting clarification. He obliged and went on to describe a plot even more preposterous than the first, claiming that he, Groucho, would be playing “Bordello, the sweetheart of Humphrey Bogart.” No doubt exasperated, Warner Bros. did not respond. A Night in Casablanca was released in 1946.…

Those who have listened to our show have frequently heard it introduced by a woman with a delightful Irish brogue – that voice belongs to Emma Lloyd. Emma is a dear friend who was born in Ireland and lived in England during World War 2. While Emma has been a guest on the show before, this time we asked her to help us celebrate Memorial Day by sharing her memories of Ireland and England during the great “War to end all Wars.” As Emma shares with us during the interview, we pray that there will never be another war like WWII. As you will hear throughout the interview, Emma herself is a bit of living history. Notes to the interview: Among the many famous people that Emma met, one of them that she refers to is Queen Mary. The Queen Mary that she is referring to here is Mary of Teck, the Queen consort to King George V, Queen Mother of George VI, who was king of England during World War II. She also speaks of Margaret and Elizabeth. These are, of course, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, and her sister who is now Queen Elizabeth II of England. Both Margaret and Elizabeth remained in England during World War II, despite pressure from the British government to evacuate to Canada. The “Anthony Eden” she refers to is Robert Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon, who was the British Foreign Secretary between 1935 and 1955, including World War II. Anthony Eden later went on to become Prime Minister of England between 1955 and 1957. During the interview she refers to “Doodlebugs” – this was a common nick name for the V1 jet propelled bombs that Germany Launched at Britain during World War II. Julie and Fran…

Show 7 of No Prisoners, No Mercy: We love war hammer. If we didn‘t we wouldn’t talk about it so much and play it for so many hours at a time.
