We're about a month away from the first episode of the next season of EFMS, and I've been working on a running order. Thought it was worth sharing since four of the topics were basically user requests. This isn't final but lemme know what you think. Also we're probably gonna do a bunch after this, like AssCreed for the release of AssCreed3. Just focusing on the first six episodes for nows.
I'm hoping for a lengthy EFMS for Metal Gear, like Half Life. It would have been better after 30th August, when Kojima shows off some of the Fox Engine, and hopefully some of MGS5, and has a 25th Anniversary Metal Gear celebration!

Definitely looking forward to the new season. I may be a minority of one here, but I would love to see a show on hockey. I know, I know, I'm odd that way.
Women in games. Ruh-roh Raggy, that'll get messy.
Looking forward to Metal Gear, Point n click and a little bit Starcraft - I never was much for 'pro' gaming, but maybe you can make it interesting. Otherwise I'll cross my fingers that you pull out a Blizzard employee to sweeten the deal.
I know that might not be possible, but a girl can dream!
Metal Gear launches nukes?
A burning question that needs to be answered in that episode. I look forward to the season.
I'm looking forward to it, especially the Skateboarding episode. I may not be able to shred in real life, but I rock at THPS2 and Skateland. lol.

If this season runs up to November, you should seriously consider a James Bond themed episode. Might be cool to coincide it with the releases of Legends and Skyfall.
Finally! This shows better than 99% of what's on TV and I've missed seeing it. Keep on makin stuff like this.
Nice line-up. As expected I am really interested in the piece on Women in Games so will definitely watch that one. I saw your twitter conversation with FinallyAlex when the whole Skarkeesian thing came about and you never actually stated your opinion so will be interesting.
Women in games.....groan...... I guess i'd be interested to see Danny's take on it though.
1 Like Looking forward to the Point and Click one. I'll never forget those Pink Panther games I played when I was a kid, I loved them.
1 Like @Foolz3h Yea I'm not looking forward to writing that. Mostly because I disagree with the popular argument on it. I think folks are complaining about nothing and totally missing the point.
1 Like @dannyodwyer Write your own take on it; that actually sounds like it might be interesting!
Danny you're at Comin Con. I follow your post from Twitter. You follow me back. So where the Wolverine, the Hurk, the Batman , and The Darkness?
September 3rd and 10th look interesting. X-Play had a blurb yesterday on twitter about girl gamers. I responded and my comment was more intelligent than theirs. They re-posted it and arre following me. Enjoy the weekend's festivities!
@zinoalex I'm not at Comic Con actually, but perhaps if enough people THINK I AM It'll almost be as good!
this looks good Danny...although I haven't played either metal gear solid or starcraft, they look like interesting topics...I don't have any interest on formula one but that could also be interesting...My suggestion is how about making one on the mech warriors games...ever since I played IVAN, I've been interested in the concept of them..but what makes them famous other then controlling a massive robot with weapons...
User requests you say, how about you do one show on the MGS series and one on Fifa, unless thats already been done.
2 Like @Tazzman1000 I think Fifa was covered here: http://www.gamespot.com/fifa-soccer-11/videos/escape-from-mount-stupid-football-games-6337113/
And Metal Gear is on that schedule, so that's already in the works.
@c_rake I think i need to catch up, I'll get to it eventually haa. anyway how about you cover e-sports, that would be a fun topic. Also if this has already been covered I'll (insert painful experiance here)
2 Like September 10th, Point 'n' Clicks! I look forward to that greatly. :)
If you mention Enchanted Scepters you get many, many bonus points (I wrote A Short History of Point 'n' Clicks several years back: http://uk.gamespot.com/users/gbrading/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25750705).
2 Like Speaking of Metal Gear, and women in games, I just came across an interesting piece on the trend (within many Japanese games) that portrays men (quite often villainous) as effeminate and "pretty" - I think that's a subject worth further exploration, especially given the recent furor over the gaming industry's proclivity (and ongoing recalcitrance) for stereotypes of the feminine gender.
