Jus a quick post and a big note of thanks to you, our listeners, contributors, and followers. Without you we wouldn’t do this podcast.
Thank You
This week’s show include two Michaels and one Phaedra, we miss you Sandy! We also will be taking a week off to spend time with our friends and families, playing games of course! Oh yeah, and it’s Thanksgiving in the United States, so we will also be thankful that we can spend time playing games at work!
Thank you to listener Kirk for providing a great link to follow up from last week’s show about bitcoin mining within games. We also thank Apple’s App Store for providing us with another story on apps being pulled from the app store related to bitcoins. We then do a quick left turn to talk about Candy Crush, luckily your co-hosts will NOT be spamming you with Candy Crush invites.
We then follow a rabbit hole on a website and find a new game to play – Hipster CEO! What fun lies in store for us all as we try our hands at a virtual startup. Let us know if you pick it up, who can go public first! And to our U.S. listeners, Happy Thanksgiving!

Show correction:
Well the app pulled was a bitcoin exchange app, not a bit coin mining app. Oh well… Sometimes you just have to admit your mistake.

This week Michael and Michael find a new way to help monazite your game. We discuss the recent plugin for Unity gaming development environment which allows a developer to monazite their app via Bit coin mining! Can this be the way that you actually can monazite the attention economy?
Is it right to do so?

We being our show with the two Michaels, but are quickly joined by Sandy to kick off our discussion of Tiny Death Star (a game we’ve been looking forward to for a few weeks). We also do a quick shout out to JetBlue on their quickly uptake on our prior episode ideas on new things to do during take off and landing. We then do a quick review of movies we’ve seen and are looking forward to. Sandy provides a quick update on the CAVE status from Villanova and wonders how many of us know what CAVE actually stand for? Michael R. thinks it means – Collaborative Audiovisual Virtual Environment, Sandy believes it means – Computer Aided Visual Environment, and Michael M has always thought it was Collaborative Audio Visual Environment.
A quick discussion ensues about the news on Instagram’s “hashtags” and if we are seeing a break down on human decency. Do we need to gamify self-monitoring? What level of monitoring and censorship is appropriate for a website? Do we need “likes” and “dislikes”? Can we teach digital citizenship?
What do you think, is it appropriate for public sites to censor or should the community censor itself?
