In episode two of the JA Community podcast - an initiative started by our members - Lanah Tyra Horror and Cats and Rixx Javix tackle the topic of toxicity in gaming communities. What is toxicity?

CmdrTravisRobicheaux has launched a new Elite Dangerous machinima series. The first episode - Life of a Space Trucker - shares the thrills, the dangers, and the unusual cargo they’ve hauled across the cosmos. The voice acting and script are both excellent.
