Shamus Young is a software engineer, writer, and friend of LoadingReadyRun. You may know him from his blog Twenty-Sided, from his webcomic Stolen Pixels, or from his numerous columns and articles over on The Escapist. You may also know him from his gaming commentary webseries Spoiler Warning, (the title of which I contend he shamelessly stole from one of the ill-fated pilots LRR recorded but never actually released.)
Shamus will be calling in at 4:00PM Pacific time, so make sure to tune in!

I second this motion
If you could pick the next game over the objections of any cast member, what game would you pick for Spoiler Warning?
Also, what do you believe is a fitting punishment for Rutskarn’s punning?
What is your favorite pony?
When will there be more Stolen Pixels? I really love that show!
How are you?
Will you be joining in on singing the Red Dwarf theme?
I still don’t know who you are, so my question is who the hell are you ?
Have you re-visited Champions Online since it went free-to-play?
Did you recognize Adam Jensen’s voice actor as… uh, was that dude’s name “Antonio” in AC2?
James IS HAVING ALL THE FUN!
Shamus: Worst RPG ever (tabletop and/or PC/console)?
Does your family miss you a lot between Skyrim and Minecraft?
What’s your favorite Rutskarn pun?
I kinda hope your book does badly so there can be more SP! (Kidding ! :P) Looking forward to reading it!
Are you fed up with all this My Little Pony talk or are you a fan?
Shamus, are you watching the stream, if so whats up with the hair in that picture.
What is your Game of the year?
Hey Shamus! How do you feel about a game like Dark Souls that has it’s backstory hidden away in item and dialog with NPCs without ever being overtly told much of anything. How much story needs to be said, and how much needs to be found?
dr young will we see a new DM of the rings for the hobit when it is released
Shamus, how proud are you of your newfound beard?
If you could only play one game for the rest of your life, what would it be?
“onionofgames:
dr young will we see a new DM of the rings for the hobit when it is released.”
Seconded.
Shamus do you ever get annoyed with your spoiler warning costars?
Skyrim has procedurally-generated quests, what do you think of the future of games when technology is advanced enough that procedurally-generated story is feasible?
How come you stand so still all the time?
What made you start writing that ‘autoblogography?’
Shamus: As a frequent DM/GM, how many players have you killed? More than Jer?
