Episode #78 - MMO, Behave!

About this episode

The episode discusses the similarities between MMOs and pop culture references, exploring both popular and forgotten online games.

What do Austin Powers (International Man of Mystery) and MMOs (Massive Multiplayer Online games) have in common? People entering dangerous new worlds? Groovy! Lazers and high-tech gadgets? Right on! Main characters that are nonstop horny? Shagadelic, baby! But what about MMOs that aren't as popular? For every Austin Powers there is a Love Guru, and for every World of Warcraft there is a Planet Hot Wheels. On today's episode, we chat about the grooviest online games out today and also unfreeze some forgotten and inactive ones. This ain't no mini-me episode, so change your middle name to danger and get randy with us!
