Busy Saturday this weekend, with not one, but two podcasts being recorded, making it about the most stuff I've ever got done on a weekend day, ever. There's our own humble offering here:
Van Hemlock & Van Hemlockability; Part the Fifth: In which a somewhat Pragmatic View is taken on Open Beta Tests, and a distinctly more Enthusiastic Outlook is shown for Fishing! Also, some news is treated in a Jolly Flippant Manner Indeed, and a break is taken for Ice Cream!
Useful Links:
Keen and Graev's Gaming Blog: AoC = Another Raiding Treadmill... #$%*
(And many other recent posts about AoC there as well)
Lord of the Rings Online: Fishing
And no link to the File Planet AoC Beta Giveaway, cos by now, it's over!
And then many hours later, and having run out of decent or believable excuses, I ended up on another podcast, in the same day!
Shut Up We're Talking #25
Which has it's own show notes here, and includes at last, an explanation about the chimpswithkeyboards.com thing!
Very impressed with Darren's editing skillz on that, as I was fighting a distinctly truculent ISP for much of the recording, which had a nasty habit of dumping me out quite often. That blooper bit at the end wasn't staged in the slightest; all very annoying, but a lot of fun taking part anyway, so worth struggling through.
Listeners who are easily offended by gushing declarations of mutual man-love, should probably have a bucket or paper bag handy while they listen!
