Mark Matthews (aka “Aristeia”) is back on the show, this time joining me as a co-host for season 4 of the podcast. In this episode, recorded on October 16, 2013, I pick Mark’s brain about his experiences with strategy games (particularly real-time and turn-based), talk with him about some of his favorite titles (including Total War: Rome II and Heroes of Might & Magic II), and even discuss the why a strategy-based MMO is harder to create than it might seem.

Oh, and we also discuss a little of the Mad King events going on in Guild Wars 2. Please note that music from this episode came from Rome II, Heroes II, and Homeworld II.
