Ben Seck the OG from Down Under - Ep 324 Mar 22, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, I’m talking to one of the OG’s of the MTG community, Ben Seck. Ben hails from down under, that’s Australia for all you non-Australian people! Ben was an early voice and community builder of the Magic scene in Australia many years ago. He organized tournaments, lent cards to pros like Kai Budde, and quickly found himself traveling the world, and playing Magic. Ben did quite well in Grand Prix and Pro Tours, and eventually landed a job in the gaming industry. Ben credits the opportunities he’s received getting jobs in the gaming industry to his involvement in Magic. Ben is excited to see the Magic community flourish. I hope you enjoy my interview with community builder and Magic personality Ben Seck. I too am looking forward to Magic’s future and I am eager for the community to grow and invite new players into the game.

Blue with Jordan Aisaka, Frank Stanley, and Ben Seck - WUBRG Series part 2 - Ep 323 Mar 15, 2018

Show notes

This is part 2 of our 5 part series on WUBRG. In this episode, we’re talking about the color Blue with Legacy grinder Jordan Aisaka, Judge Tournament Organizer Frank Stanley, and Magic personality Ben Seck. Blue is a hot topic in Magic. It used to be the best color and now it’s not. We’ll be talking about what makes Blue so cerebral as it is oppressive and hard to play. Blue dominates Legacy, but will it dominate again in Modern or Standard? What are the most notable cards in blue that create game states that are so interesting? What the history behind blue and where is blue headed in the future of Magic design? We’ll answer those questions and more. I hope you enjoy my conversations with Jordan Aisaka, Frank Stanley, and Ben Seck, about the color Blue. A big thank you to my guests Jordan Aisaka, Frank Stanley, and Ben Seck for leveling up our knowledge about Blue.

TJ Rogers On The Future Of MTG Live Streaming - Ep 319 Jan 31, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, I’m talking to the commentator, streamer, and host, TJ Rogers. TJ is an advocate of Magic streams, and wants to help more players and local game stores broadcast their games on the internet. TJ is interested in solving the technical challenges that comes along with streaming. What camera to buy, how to set up your computer, what the overlay should look like, what should the feature match area look like? TJ believes that live streaming matches with players on the internet builds community because it’s a way for more people to feel like they’re at the game store playing magic. TJ is also researching ways of integrating cutting edge card reader technology into live streaming to deliver a better viewing experience. I caught up with TJ in the fall of 2017. Please enjoy my interview with TJ Rogers.
