The focus for this episode of the podcast is a recording of a DragonCon 2010 panel hosted by our own fastbilly1.
The interview is with Frogg of MechCorps, a Houston-based BattleTech group who runs custom hardware and software to get the most out of mech-based games. Their group is quite interesting, and the interview sheds light on the technical challenges offered by putting together and maintaining a pod, organizing events, transporting hardware, and building a community of players.
This episode is also a bit of a Houston-themed show, as our second forum member spotlight segment features none other than Houston-based forum member Hobie-wan. Hobie talks about his earliest gaming memories, his interest in tinkering with consoles, and his enthusiasm for the racketboy community.
