Gamer interview #1 Victor F. Laurence, AKA Livistos, AKA Soriathus

This is the first in what will hopefully be a long series of interviews with gamers. See my post below for more background on the idea. Victor is the guild leader for my WoW guild, Hit it Like you Mean It on Emerald Dream. He runs a tight ship with an emphasis on fairness and humor. He was willing to be my first guinea pig, so a big thanks to Victor!

I'm just going to give the link here and let you all give it a listen. Let me know what you think, shoot a question, volunteer to be my next interviewee, whatever!

Sorry for the lack of new content of late. I have been awfully busy lately on what is sometimes referred to as "my job." I try not to let little things like that get in the way of fun stuff like this, but sometimes it happens.

Anyhow, I wanted to introduce a new feature! I will on occasion conduct an interview (more like a conversation, really) with a gamer and post it here. Here's my thought... When we conduct focus groups or lab studies with more than one gamer at a time, there is inevitably some downtime when the gamers are just hanging out chatting among themselves. I LOVE those chat sessions! Gamers have this awesome default conversation about who they are, when they started gaming, what they're playing nowadays, and what they like/dislike about the gaming scene, etc. Did I mention that I love these conversations? They're like whatever folks with common interests talk about when they get together... car geeks about cars, knitters about knitting, cat lovers about cats...

So, given that I get such a kick out of them, I thought I'd try and recreate some of that here. Expect more of that same conversation: just gamers talking about gaming. I'm working on server space for streaming audio and I have the first gamer interview all wrapped up and ready to post just as soon as there is a place to put it - probably in the next day or so.

If you'd like to be interviewed, just say so!
