It's a bit chaotic around gamesblog towers today; Greg and Keith are in transit to Brighton and I'm finalising the questions for tonight's quiz, so we beg forgiveness for the dearth of news and views to start your week.
However, here's a link from last week - the Tech Weekly podcast's virtual worlds special! If you've not heard it, we decided to take a trip into the realm of online games - from World of Warcraft to Moshi Monsters - to check out their appeal and their implications (as I alluded to in a post last week). Joining me in the pod were The Guardian's resident virtual world expert Vic Keegan and virtual worlds consultant, author and philosopher Ren Reynolds. We get deep.
Plus, how ethical are virtual worlds targeted at kids? We speak with the BBC's Marc Goodchild about their new title Adventure Rock, Michael Smith from Mind Candy about Moshi Monsters and Lisa Ray from Parents for Ethical Marketing.
Quick! Get in! The next pod will be released tomorrow and you'll have missed out on all the virtual world goodies...
