Now what does RPG stand for, we heard a lot about RPGs this past week at E3, The Electronic Entertainment Expo. It actually stands for Role Playing Game, it*s a genre of games where you become something else, you become a knight or a mage or a dragon or a wizard. And you act out what you are in virtual reality and you acquire powers and you go on quests and maybe you use weapons to vanquish your foes and your enemies. Usually in an RPG game, there is an adventure involved you are looking to find some relic or something for the goal of the game. And multiplayer RPG games are there to let you compete with and against other players other real people who are also acting in roles in the game as allies or enemies over the Internet or over a local area network. So that*s what RPG is all about Role Playing Game. That is this hours Geek Speak taking a tech term and turning it into plain English before your very ears. And this potion is powered GoDaddy.

And it could be anything it could be our last hours guest, it could be this past Tuesday, I did a Podcast because if you recall I used to do the Online Tonight Personal Netcast via E-mail that*s what we call our Podcast as the Personal Netcast. And I had somebody write me an E-mail saying hey how come you are not letting people know that you were doing this a long, long time ago, long before Adam Curry and Dave Whiner and all the people that arguing about who did the first. I was the subscriber of yours back in 1997. And to be fair it wasn*t really a Podcast, it was very similar, it was delivered to you automatically you didn*t have to worry about it being there, it was there every morning you can listen to it and E-mail and whatnot. And it certainly was on of these short and sweet and you know no broadcasting required kind of things and lot of parallels. But it wasn*t delivered via RSS or via Enclosures or and it wasn*t in mp3 format not that it matters, it was a real audio piece. But certainly we were there very early as what CNET Brian Cooley and the people at CNET were doing a daily audio piece that you get downloaded automatically. So a lot of things happen before the arguments that are going on right now over who created Podcasting and we are glad that we were there at the beginning and can build on our experience.
