What Ya Into?

Hey Listener, you're going to need your headgear and some dice this week because Michael Williams from Smiling Demon Games is on the show to talk about creating his own martial arts trading card game: Warrior Within Underground. WYI?’s resident martial artist/nerd Jaimie Filer is the perfect co-host for this episode. This week’s topics include: The spreading of Warhammer 40K to new media. Why are they doing this to the Crow? Playing Magic the Gathering during wrestling tournaments. The journey into no holds barred fighting. Don’t use the time machine. Picking a good walkout song. Looking at fighting like a computer. How do you beat up your friend in a deathmatch? Planning how to fight a guy who knows Kung Fu. Sometimes you learn with a concussion. An oil check leads to a full special meter. Being dudes is making fun of things your friends like. I’m not a mad dawg psychopath. Men that create their fantasyland of toughness. What was the first fight like? Conan. No one wants to fight you so lets get you a pro fight on a card where Royce Gracie and Don Vito will be in attendance. Defeating racism and then getting a weird pep talk from Royce Gracie. Gravity works. Going solo, creating, and pitching the game. The intimidation of MTG. Drawing inspiration from Street Fighter II. Being able to move your character into all of the different worlds of fighting. Creating a system. The importance of creating cool looking stuff.
