Sean Sands over at Gamers with Jobs posted this fantastic piece in his Maximum Verbosity column regarding a subject I have thought a lot about in recent days.

“…Much as I may long to engage in a game like Demigod, Halo Reach or Team Fortress 2, even the most cursory effort to dip a toe into the multiplayer spaces reveals the hideous truth that a substantial population have, in my absence, dedicated themselves to the glory of the game in ways usually reserved for religious rituals. To attempt to breach their holy sanctums of online space is like trying to talk theology with the Pope by continuously referencing Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a Christ figure. Not only are you going to get beat, but you’re probably going to be asked to leave.

…For even the well trained, much less the best, playing me in one of these games apparently has the same effect as drinking a cup of warm milk and cuddling under a blanket on the couch.

For fragile egos like mine, this is not a desired outcome.”

I think my complete lack of Left 4 Dead 2 and Halo 3 play can be attributed to exactly the reason’s Sands discusses. It’s also, I suspect, the main reason I have little to no interest in Reach.

Good reading for any day of the week, let alone a Friday. Check it out.

A special thanks to Sean Sands from Gamers with Jobs and Phil Kollar from Game Informer for spending the holiday episode with us! It’s always fantastic to have great guests! Thanks, also, to all of you sick bastards who sent in your Naughty Letters to Santa.

Tonight’s the night! Tune in to see Sean Sands from Gamers with Jobs, Phil Kollar from Game Informer, Panicbot 5000, and the DGR crew as we talk about the latest games, read your naughty letters to Santa, exchange gifts, and drink ourselves into Christmas oblivion.

We’ll also be taking your calls later in the evening, so be prepared to call in and tell us what you’ve been playing and what you’ll be up to during the holidays.

To watch the live show, head on over to our Ustream page, located here.

NOTE: We’ve been advertising the show with a 7pm start. However, due to scheduling conflicts, there’s a strong chance that we won’t be starting until 7:30 or 8pm. Feel free to pop by the Ustream page at 7pm as we’ll be in there for our pre-show chat.

See you tonight!

It’s an episode of special guests this week and we’ve even managed to get an episode just under the two hour mark! We’re talking 7 Deaths in Namagachi and Space Ace for the iPhone this week. We’ve also got a very special guest, that old time podcast listeners will appreciate, to help us talk about Ghostbusters for the 360 and the Wii!

Sean Andrich from Gamers with Jobs.com joins us on this week’s 5 Things segment and brings some much needed class to the show. Also, you’ll get to hear Hilden go from obnoxiously drunk to sort of drunk right back to obnoxiously drunk all in this mind bending, drunken time-traveling episode of DGR!

Thanks for listening!

Robot Panic is first and foremost a place where we find things that we love or are excited about and share it with others.

With that in mind, I point you to this fantastically moving piece, written by Julian “Rabbit” Murdoch. The article is entitled A Sense of Place and can be found by following that link or going to Gamers with Jobs.

If games “jounalism” is to ever reach the credibility it deserves, then we need more pieces like this one. Games journalism has, for too long, been about a product and whether or not you should purchase said product. Sometimes it’s about how the products rate in comparison to each other or in the grand scheme of “games” as a whole.

In rare cases, one such as this, games journalism takes on a whole new level as we finally read a piece that puts our hobby squarely in a place where gaming and being a gamer actually mean something.

I was rather moved and I hope you will be too. Give it a read.

We’ve got a special guest with us this week! In addition to the usual food item that replaces John, we’ve got Sean “Elysium” Sands from the Gamers with Jobs-Conference Call! We had a great time with Sean and relish in the hour of credibility we gained from having him on the show. Not that it’ll last. We also talk about Rock Band 2 and Dragon Quest IV for the DS!
