SEAN PLOTT: Hello, ladies
and gentlemen.
00:00:08
And welcome to the show, the
very first ever debut.
00:00:12
My name is Sean Plott.
00:00:14
BILL GRANER: And I'm
Bill Graner.
00:00:16
SEAN BOUCHARD: And I'm
Sean Bouchard.
00:00:17
SEAN PLOTT: And welcome to
MetaDating, whereby we will be
00:00:20
playing through romantically
themed video games and
00:00:24
basically making fun of
them, as best we can.
00:00:27
Because here's the basic idea.
00:00:28
I'm sure many of you beautiful
nerds out there have played
00:00:31
your Skyrim's or your Gears
Of War or StarCraft.
00:00:35
And that's great and fine and
well and good, in terms of
00:00:37
beating someone else and
crushing someone else for
00:00:40
victory, et cetera.
00:00:41
But there's something magical
about the idea of a
00:00:43
romantically themed video game
that, how do you crunch
00:00:48
something as abstract and
amorphous and impossible as
00:00:52
dating and relationships
into a game?
00:00:55
Is there like a first person
shooter game where you fire
00:00:57
Cupid arrows or whatnot?
00:00:59
We're going to explore
them all.
00:01:00
And before we do, I figured that
we should introduce who
00:01:07
I'm one of the Seans
on the show.
00:01:10
I live in South Central LA,
which means that you'll be
00:01:12
hearing a lot of construction
and explosions and police
00:01:15
sirens and the like.
00:01:17
And I'm host a show
called the Day[9]
00:01:19
Daily, where I do video game
strategy and analysis.
00:01:24
I'm like this super,
hyper, mega nerd.
00:01:27
And I talk a lot.
00:01:28
So this is an ideal merging
of my interests.
00:01:31
And I've dated before.
00:01:32
I have some qualifications
there.
00:01:34
And I'll throw it to Bill.
00:01:35
Who are you man?
00:01:36
BILL GRANER: Hey.
00:01:36
Hi, my name's Bill Graner.
00:01:38
I'm an independent game
developer and proud small
00:01:42
business owner in the
US of A here.
00:01:45
I live right now in Berkeley,
California, hoping to move
00:01:48
into San Francisco someday.
00:01:50
But you know rent there,
so whatever.
00:01:52
Yeah, we make little games
over at Crater House.
00:01:55
And I've also dated before.
00:01:57
I specialize in long
term dating.
00:02:02
SEAN BOUCHARD: It's
a class perk.
00:02:04
BILL GRANER: I'm on my
second girlfriend.
