PTJ 136: Public Shame and Private Gaming Moments

How has the Internet made it easier for us to embarrass ourselves — or be embarrassed by others?  Laura M. Holson discusses the history  of personal mortification online and Jon Ronson’s new book, So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed.

Also on the show we’re joined by Dennis Fong, better known by his gaming handle Thresh and for being the world’s first professional PC gamer. Mr. Fong is  founder and CEO of Raptr and drops by to tell us about his company’s new gameplay capture service Plays.TV.
