Heya AvoGamers! We’re planning to record the next episode of the AVoCADo GamesCast this upcoming weekend (the 23rd or 24th of March), and we’d love for you to join if you’re available. We have a preference for Sunday, but we could make Saturday work as well if need be.

Some potential discussion topics, depending on interest/preferences, could be:

• EA’s Game Changers program, its recent controversies, and streamers/influencers more broadly
• The games-as-service/”live service” model
• Game streaming services and Google’s new Stadia service
• Anything else interesting out of GDC
• Anything else you folks want to talk about (seriously, we’re flexible!)

If you want to participate, please provide:

1. Your Skype handle1You can create a second Skype handle if your existing handle contains your real name and you wish to remain anonymous., if I don’t already have it.
2. What times on Saturday and/or Sunday you’re available2Seriously, I need this. Otherwise, it becomes very hard to schedule things.

As always, the GamesCast welcomes participants from diverse backgrounds. Regardless of your age, gender, sexual orientation, or cultural background, if you have something to say, we’d love to have you.

Recording should take between 90 and 135 minutes. The only hardware requirements are a decent-quality mic for recording (the mic on a mid-range headset usually suffices) and a stable Internet connection.

Let’s chat about video games!
