Welcome to Show 101!
This week we spend time contrasting Star Wars the Old Republic and World of Warcraft. After that we discuss evil versus good in SWTOR. This week we also revisit the subject started by Dr. Richard Bartle in Show 101 freedom to be yourself in virtual worlds. We finish up the show with a brief discussion on yellow journalism.

Haven't heard from you for awhile. It has been busy around here of late and so we haven't had as much time to dedicate to the show. But we do try and keep a steady stream of episode coming. We are working on the news and discussion items for show 102 now.

Unless some tragedy, God forbid, were to befall a member of the team we are here to stay. Just like Coroso Riggs says in SWTOR "we have the tools and the talent."
