Fri, 9 May 2008 This week Luper is back for more! (Thank goodness she got enuf of Florida. What a strange place.)Make sure to go to http://voyagesofvanguard Some highlights from show 40: * What did we do for the last few weeks? * Some talk about further "Immersion Project" rules. * Luper gets MEGA preachy about exploiting and names 5 actual real players, by name, and gives details on how they exploited the mobs. And got loot. Good loot. * Best of the BEST! * Random email's and fart jokes. Here's the maps you can print out for yourself, hehe so we can woepway togever! Click this link, young warrior! And here's the Immersion guidelines! Here's the screenshots that favorite listener Jay sent, you know, the ones showing the beta water: Bad Water Good Water Here's a comment from the creator of MyUI: What a cool guy. I'm so glad he looked through me calling his UI "dumb" at one point...lol Anyway, check out his MOD! (link below.)
We received a good amount of email about the last show, and keep 'em coming! Again, if you have any subjects you'd like us to address, send 'em along! Remember, we can only pick a few to talk about, so convince us! :) Beau This week's song is "Skell" by the Tommy Hernandez, a good buddy of mine. This is one of his weird experiments that he's been doing lately. He's an incredible piano player and person. Go check his stuff here and HERE. Comments[0] |
Sun, 27 April 2008 Beau and Luper sat down to have a great
discussion. Beau wishes he had finished up his notes on the new
"Immersion Project" rules before the show, but reality had called him
away from the game too much this week. Beau wanted to talk about MyUI,
one of the UI's he talked about a couple shows ago, but they will have
to put that on next week's show. Beau was contacted by the creator of
the UI, and set Beau straight on some of the things he got wrong.Some highlights from show 39: * Luper talks a little bit about the "Best of the Best" and what's it's like from the inside! * Luper and Beau get down with economics, in a way. They talk about GU4 and what some are calling "Vanguard's Great Depression." * Luper goes crazy and tells what mobs lie in wait for you in APW. No strats, people, so don't fast forward to this part. Still very cool though! * Beau and Luper announce the NEW "Best of the Best" winners for this week. Grats players! * At the end of the show there is a special hilarious segment recorded during Beau and Luper's visit to the PVP SERVER! It's silly and fast. A few bits of trivia about this weeks show: 1) Luper says "doo doo" at one point, again. 2) The music behind the "Best of the Best" segment is from the "Karate Kid" soundtrack and was sent by listener Jay. Beau This week's song is "Peace Sells" by Megadeth. Luper picked it out, and Beau is happy about it. Next week is his choice! Comments[0] |
Sat, 19 April 2008 What a talk we had. Too bad a good deal of it wound up on the
editing room floor. And by floor I mean trash bin on my desktop. If I
hadn't trimmed it it woulda' went on for 2 hours!Some highlights from show 38: * Balance, balance, and more balance. What is Vanguard trying to do with balance? Is this a balanced conversation? What does Beau and Luper think about balancing balance? * We throw some shoutouts for the Best of the Best! (Can't find the Halgar information, if someone would be so kind as to send that to me.) * We throw down about some cool forum topics! A few bits of trivia about this weeks show: 1) Luper says "doo doo" at one point. 2) If you listen closely, you can hear a strange mouse clicking sound in the background, as though someone is playing Half Life 2 in the distance. 3) These two knuckleheads recorded with no show notes. Fun, but hard to do. Beau This week's song is "I Wanted to be a Bard" by Chama C. Fox. This song is brilliant! It reminds me of a combination of anime and saturday morning cartoons. Check out the lyrics and stuff here. (http://www.rakinews.com/Myrr Comments[0] |
Fri, 11 April 2008 This week Luper is back for more! (Thank goodness.)Make sure to go to http://voyagesofvanguard Some highlights from show 37: * We'll talk 'bout mods, I have been using some. If you want to try some out, here are the ones I have been trying: MyUI Darker UI Drox UI (the most used from what I can tell) * We talk about a cool dungeon that Luper likes a bunch! After this, you'll know what players mean when they say "they can flip." And no, it has nothing to do with politics. * We talk a bit about a listeners email, and will get to the other half of his email next week. * Then, we ask if Luper is a....a....DOUBLE BOXER!! Du du DUUUUUM. Lot's of people do it, we talk about it. We received a good amount of email about the last show, and keep 'em coming! Again, if you have any subjects you'd like us to address, send 'em along! Remember, we can only pick a few to talk about, so convince us! :) Beau This week's song is "Bone Machine" by the Pixies, one of the best bands in the world. PERIOD. Comments[0] |
Sun, 6 April 2008 This week Beau welcome his new fantastic co-host Luper!Luper is an amazing player, and will be sure to yell at Beau when he says ANYTHING noob-like. This show is coming out right after show 36, but in the 2 weeks between recording the segment for show 34 and now, Beau continued to record and plan. So, this show gets everything caught up and now sets next Thursday to be day of the show! So, see ya in a week! Highlights: *Beau talks to Luper about being in beta to now *Beau talks to Luper about metal, how silly Ibanez guitars are and how she feels about the APW drama *Beau Talks to Luper about class leads, what they are, where they are, and why they are important. I give Luper a decent amount of "hard time", because I am not typically one that appreciates raiding. But, I am terribly curious and would one day like to actually do some raiding in game. So, please excuse Beau's newbie questions. He cries out for information, and Luper delivers! This weeks song is "Nature of the Experiment" by Tokyo Police Club. Thanks for listening. Comments[0] |
Sun, 30 March 2008 Beau introduces himself as the new host of VoV, and talks a little about what he would like to do with the show.Here are some highlights: * A little more discussion about GU4 * Some cool stuff he's been doing in game! * A few new ideas Voyages of Vanguard is part of the VirginWorlds podcast collective!

Yes, sadly I am moving on to other projects. I have offered the show

really make the show shine. In this final episode, under my direction,
I give my farewell talk, then move on to some letters from Ratook and
Pidge, and the show ends with a riotous talk by Beau on all things good
and grand in Vanguard.Notes * Troy's Farewell to the Voyages of Vanguard * Ratook espouses his philosophy on the universe beyond the world of Telon * Pidge responds bluntly to his "big words" and high ideals * Beau Turkey talks about all things good, grand, and gratuitous in Vanguard Comments[0] |
