Ep 83 – Bai Cha and My Cat Hates Me with Jemma Stafford
In this episode, we are getting garfed on by My Cat Hates Me, the webcomic-turned print book by Bai Cha.
Ep 60 – Chan Ho-kei and Second Sister with Michelle Deeter
Logged on with guest-level access and ready to follow the trail wherever it leads is 3-time visitor to the show Michelle Deeter. In the events that follow we hack into moral frameworks, digital archives, memory glitches, and urban navigation.
Ep 46 – The Flock of Ba Hui with Dylan Levi King
We have quite a beast to wrestle with this episode. Lovecraftian fiction, from the Chinese internet, curated, translated and packaged in paratexts by two particularly unorthodox individuals.
Ep 36 – Gujian with Emily Jin
Gujian isn’t a Western Tolkeinesque RPG, nor is it a JRPG Final Fantasy-style affair. It’s made in China, set in China, and played (mostly) by Chinese gamers. You may not be shocked to learn that it’s a Wuxia RPG, with a little Xianxia magic thrown in for good measure.
Ep 35 – Necropolis Immortal with Etvolare
Necropolis Immortal blends two particularly Chinese genres: xianxia, and tomb raiding. It’s not quite the tomb raiding one associates with Indiana Jones and Lara Croft, as Etvo explains in our interview.
Ep 34 – Gu Long and 7 Killers with Deathblade
7 Killers is classic Gu Long, and an early entry in Deathblade’s career as a translator. We use it as a jump-off point to talk about Chinese web fiction, similarities between Wuxia and other genres, and the hyperpowered characters of xianxia web fiction.
