Podcast Crossover

This week, WtF Dragon is the guest interviewee over at the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast, which is a podcast about “fantasy & science fiction in books, movies, games, and comics, as well as related subjects such as science, history, and critical thinking.” They wanted to talk about the Ultima Dragons and how that fan club continues to survive and thrive today, more than twenty years after the last numbered Ultima game was published.

Podcast Topics

This episode begins with Harmony Dragon and Golem Dragon discussing the recent sexual harassment allegations that have resulted in several high-profile Ubisoft executives either quitting or being let go by the company,

Golem then pivots the discussion toward Devolver Digital and their enthusiastic support of the streaming community, especially as a means of promoting Mediatonic’s upcoming battle royale game, Fall Guys. Other games that boast robust online play — Command & Conquer, Grand Theft Auto 5 — also merit some discussion, and Harmony also discusses the PVP scene in World of Warcraft at some length.

That line of discussion gives way — or leads into — a lengthy chat about Star Wars, and the various people who have made their mark on the series. And we talk about the evolution of CGI, from The Last Starfighter to The Jungle Book. Unfortunately, as WtF Dragon notes, to get to today — where CGI is ubiquitous and amazingly realistic — we had to live through some pretty glaringly bad examples of CGI as well.
