An hour of radio stories dedicated to the subtle and vampiric lure of the virtual world…
This is Xavier Naldo, the Vin Diesl of PC Gamers. Yo Xavier, pimp my PC!
- We’ll visit Greenbelt, Maryland, where a group of hardcore PC gamers settle in for a 14-hour video game marathon
- We’ll meet a cadre of cyber-artists who get paid to play video games at Firaxis Headquarters in Hunt Valley
- We’ll hear the story of an ill-fated sci-fi cyber-romance that blurs the boundary between fantasy and reality
- And a conversation with author Lev Grossman about his novel CODEX, which poses the question: Is there even a difference between “real life†and the virtual world?
