As an outsider to LoL and DotA and LoMa games in general, I was not alienated by this episode, but rather fascinated. It's a very intriguing category of games that has exploded so quickly into a vibrant and detailed subculture of gaming. Sure it took me a google to figure out exactly what Jungling is. But hearing the knitty gritty of strategy in the game from people who love the game was amazing, and ultimately might have afforded me a slightly better understanding of the games. What I anticipate now is a Cannon Fodder LoMa clone.

Hi there, just listening to this cast and I'm amazed R.U.S.E. hasn't entered the equation, unless it did and I didn't catch it, or that if its mechanics are derived from one of the games you did talk about. The basic premise of the game is using tiered qualities of fog of war information to throw off your opponent. I've only played the XBOX demo for it and am no strategy master, but it has interesting implications, primarily stuff like moving low cost units in such a way to make the opponent think they are higher threat units.
