  • Tom Kalinske - Mattel, Sega, Leap Frog

    Tom Kalinske - Mattel, Sega, Leap Frog
    Oct 15 2025

    Few events in video game history are more legendary than the Console War between Sega and Nintendo. Our guest today was one of the generals of that war, the head of Sega of America, Tom Kalinske.
    Tom's story is not just a story of Sega though, he started out in advertising, helping create the still iconic Flintstone's vitamins, he redefined Barbie's image, helped save Mattel from bankruptcy after the video game crash and lead one of the most important educational tech companies of our time, Leap Frog.
    Tom's insight into the world of toys, games and education over a career spanning 6 decades is a wild and fascinating ride.

    Recorded: July 2025

  • Richard Bartle - Part 2 - Designing Virtual Worlds

    Richard Bartle - Part 2 - Designing Virtual Worlds
    Aug 17 2025

    After spending almost 2 decades trying to make MUD a viable commercial project, Richard returns to academia after publishing his seminal book, Designing Virtual Worlds, and begins teaching and researching game worlds and player behavior.

    We delve deep into the study of games, talk about why it's important and the future of virtual worlds, the morality of being a god, both as a designer and a gamer, and where the industry can go from here.
