This weeks episode is a fairly focused one with Tamim and Hakeem discussing their favorite instances of racism in videogames and the various levels of racism that you can find in videogames.

This week we get a bit sidetracked on Mao Zedong at the start of the episode before diving into the topics of DLC and the various digital distribution platforms that exist. We cover the good, bad and ugly in the world of DLC as well as the current digital distribution environment that exists with regards to videogames. Please forgive us #Gaben for talking about your competition.

The boys have an entire episode focused on Game of Thrones as they discuss the book and the show, who the rightful ruler of Westeros is, their most hated and love characters and numerous other topics. Don’t worry, there are no spoilers if you have seen the last season of Game of Thrones. This will also be the first of many entirely exclusive Game of Thrones episodes. We ask that you forgive us when we mistakenly called Ser Alliser Thorne of the Nights Watch by the name Ser Oliver Thorne. We know that it is… Game of Thrones: The Book vs. The Show, The Rightful Ruler of Westeros and More

The boys have a guest once more and this time its @AhmedJadaa. They discuss how Helen Keller was pro-eugenics and their experiences shopping around for videogames in Jeddah and the best places to do so.

The boys have guests for the very first time and its to discuss the role, depiction and place of women in geek culture. This is a topic that will be revisited multiple times so don’t worry your pretty little heads in case something was glossed over. But do feel free to give us suggestions.

Hakeem and Tamim are back once again. This week they discuss the evil that is Martin Shkreli, the new Dota 2 tournament coming up in Frankfurt as well as some of the local geeky conventions in the GCC. Just as a little hand guide, here is a list of their websites, don’t blame us for the quality of these websites: 1. IGN Convention Abu Dhabi: http://ignconvention.com/ad/. 2. MEFCC: http://www.mefcc.com/. 3. Gamers Day: http://www.gamersday.com/. 4. GCON: http://gcon-sa.com/. I (Tamim Kashgari), misspoke in this episode regarding GCON, I mindlessly called it a videogame tournament. GCON is actually… Screw Martin Shkreli, The Dota 2 Frankfurt Major and Geeky Conventions in the GCC

The third episode is here, we talk about some of the newer games we have been playing, what we like to play, the Dota 2 update and the international scene that has developed due to it and its competitors. We leave off touching on an old topic that won’t die, or at least not with the older generation, that topic being the long term effects of playing videogames.

The second episode of LPQ. We survived another week and are here to talk to you about Ahmed Mohammed, the US elections, trading card games and how the fantasy genre sucks.

The debut episode of a geekcentric Podcast of two fanboys with great intentions, but absurdly poor taste. Residing for eternity where gamers go to die; The Low Priority Queue.
