Bobito Max Chill (Robert Ashley) joins the Bitmob crew for this week’s Mobcast.  Things kick off with the community topic, which asks how the guys deal with hecklers in online competitive games.  Most of the guys seem pretty cynical about the community of games like Modern Warfare 2, which is probably well deserved.

Dan’s topic tackles gaming and relationships, which often seem to work against each other.  Ultimately, the guys conclude that giving their girlfriends space to still be included in their experience is the best way to go.

The Wii’s mounting core complexity comes into question, especially with respect to Wii Sports Resort’s difficulty with respect to the original.  It’s the Playstation’s 15^th anniversary, so the guys talk about some of the reasons why it’s not too distinctive in their memories.  The podcast wraps up with Robert’s topic, asking if altruism rubs off on people like violence supposedly does, especially since you seem to do a ridiculous amount of favors for people in games.

The “Voice of God” returns to the Mobcast! Robert Ashley of “A Life Well Wasted” fame joins Bitmob’s Brett Bates, Dan Hsu, and Aaron Thomas on this week’s Mobcast.

The foursome discuss the PlayStation’s 15th birthday, balancing gaming and relationships, whether or not peripherals and control schemes are hurting the Wii, online jerks, and if helping people in games encourages helping people in real life.
