Way Too Casual #002!
After a miniature holiday-induced delay, Way Too Casual has returned with more splendid casual gaming splendidness! For our second episode, Joe, Jay and John have summoned a guest speaker: Chris from GamerSafe.com. Why? Because we have a very serious topic to discuss, something that makes gamers near and far shudder with fear: microtransactions. That heavy topic along with a full arsenal of game reviews can be yours with one simple click!
At the end of every episode, we take some time to interact with our listeners. If you've got a question, comment, anectode or anything else to share, send us a Skype voice mail or drop us a good old fashioned e-mail. We love hearing from everyone!

Topic of discussion:
Microtransactions (*hushed gasping*): what they do for developers, what they mean to players, and how best to implement them so everyone's happy! Also: are they as evil as we want to believe they are?
The first podcast was very good, and even though I haven't heard this one yet (I'm downloading it right now), I just felt like saying how cool those new features you guys are implementing into JIG are. You Are Games, Babylon Sticks and the Way Too Casual podcasts are just some of the ways in which the site is more interactive and full of life than ever. Seriously, you guys are awesome.
And, if I can say some final words...
Armadillo ;D
Another great podcast guys, your discussion helped answer some of the questions I had about the micro-transaction system. So will you guys be releasing new episodes every Friday now?
Not every week, more like every couple of weeks. They take a long time to organize, record, and edit, so we're doing the best we can. :)
Cool, keep up the good work and thanks for giving us this great podcast!
Great, I sent in an email when I heard you only got 2 emails last time. It was just a suggestion of some apps that I found fun.
