Hold on to your keyboards and your controllers, dear geeky gaming listeners! This week we have Angela and Aubrey Webber, AKA The Doubleclicks, on the show!

This week, Rhonda and I talk about the recent implementation by a handful of Swedish cinemas to rate movies based on the Bechdel test. We discuss is this is a fair means of measuring the worth of a movie or if the test itself is too limiting. Would a gender rating influence your movie selection on a Saturday night? In our WRaP segment, we discuss listener feedback about using the pay-to-play model as a challenge instead of a deterrent. As always, we'd love your feedback on the site, Gameongirl.com.Until next time, Regina & Rhonda --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gameongirl/message

The focus of this week's show comes from a letter a listener sent us about playing online with his eight year old daughter. We talk about strategies for raising strong gamer girls and how to deal with trolling that should be reserved for adult gamers. We have some new commercials we discuss and a quick WRaP about our favorite shows of the new fall season, along with the games we're playing and Regina's continued addiction to The House of Night. Until next time, game on!Regina & Rhonda --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gameongirl/message

Some interesting discussions popped up around the selection of this year's Miss America. Social networks were ablaze with this story from BuzzFeed which chronicled many racist Tweets about the crowing of Nina Davuluri, the first Indian-American to win the title. From there, Ben Kuchera at Penny Arcade and Alyssia Rosenberg from Think progress posted responses to the idea that public shaming might be used as a learning tool in these situations. We discuss the idea of public shaming and whether or not it is an effective tactic for dealing with ideological differences.

Two of our favorite things at Game on Girl cross paths today: tabletop and video games. Simon Berman from Privateer Press joins us to discuss the Kickstarter for WARMACHINE: Tactics.
