I come to you in a baby induced stupor to offer up the 16th episode of our fair little show. This one was a doozy and is sure to make you think thoughts about things.
This week Bill, Chris Dumoulin,  Kris Price and Jim discuss these 3 topics: Live Shows – Dead Men Make No Games – Work/Life Balancing Act
Live Shows – Do you still go to live shows? (2:29)
Adele slams a fan for recording her concert. That got us thinking about show etiquette and our favorite shows of all time.
 
This also brought about the topic of the band Dumoulin and I used to be in together a trillion years ago. Please don’t judge too harshly.
 
Dead Men Make No Games (28:09)

The Devs behind No Man’s Sky are now getting death threats for delaying the game. While it’s sort of par for the course these days showing history with female creators, Fez creator Phil Fish, and even Notch, the creator of Minecraft. But what’s the point? Sending these types of messages only makes gamers look dumb and extremely entitled.
This sort of action isn’t relegated to gaming, though. This is an issue across all “geek” culture and brings about the topic of entitlement and the idea that a consumer has the ability to speak into a creation not their own. When we love media so much and devote so much of our time to it we should be able to have discourse with its creator in this day and age. When the discourse becomes an expectation of change, however, it may be time to take a step back.

Work/Life Balancing Act (54:28)
Disconnecting from work may be required by law soon in France.
How do we personally manage the balance it takes to serve our families the way we need to as well as serve the employer that allows us to help feed said family?
