THE highlight from show 43:

* Lead Designer SILIUS gives us so much cool info and addresses a ton of concerns! Luper tries her hardest to get hired by SOE while Beau is just dumbfounded because while he was doing this interview, he thought of nothing but the ANT MOUNTS!!!! (And they look SWEET.)

We recorded this while people were logging in and loading the new patch, and it was exciting to watch the forums as we talked as they loaded up with praise for da' patch! There were a few issues, but overall the patch went off without a problem! Congrats dev's!

Beau

 This week's song (Beau's pick again..) is "Doing it Right!" by The Go! Team.

THE highlight from show 42:

* Glip the Gnome graces us with his presence, talking about all sorts of stuff. He gives us not only the exact date of the release of GU6, but also tells me a special code that, if entered correctly, will flag my account with "GM Powers."

*  Also, he mentions the 10 new raid dungeons and the new "Trailer" house for new player housing islands.

*  He also talks about how stuff goes down in the offices, and how the sausage is made. We talk for just a bit about his father, Keith Parkinson.

This should is geek-freakin'-tastic!

Beau

 This week's song (Beau's pick this week...) is "Gnome with a Chainsaw" by Man Bites God.

Some highlights from show 41:

* What did we do for the last week?
   Luper has been playing some PvPness!
   Beau has been having some IMMERSION adventure!!

* We answer an email about  playing with family and friends.

* We get REALLY angry and have a massive argument that is sure to upset anyone under  the age of Tween. Seriously though, Beau had way too much coffee and was in a mood cuz' of the forums. Also, he ALWAYS plays the Devil's advocate and always argues the other side. He doesn't hate raiders and raiding, he just LOVES a good debate! Still, he apologizes for his rant.

* Best of the BEST!

This episodes' 4 most used words are: like, mmhhmm, you, know.

Wanna play the game Luper plays with her little bro? GO HERE.

And here is a great video of pvp server naughtiness with Lupita and her Crew!

 This week's song (Luper's pick this week...Beau will pick a CRAZY one next week.) is "Sleeping Son" by Nightwish.

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!

And here's the Immersion guidelines!

Here's the screenshots that favorite listener Jay sent, you know, the ones showing the beta 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.)

Hello, Xndyr here. I'm the author of myUI. I thought I would respond to a few of your comments about my UI MOD. You mentioned two specific complaints about the mod, and while I fully understand that not every player will like a given MOD, I thought you might want to know that your two comments are actually already addressed in myUI.

the XP bar has always been something you could toggle on or off, it's a feature of the default UI, and while I "skinned" the XP bar, it's still referenced by the same name (window/xml object name) as the default, so you can turn it off in the same manner--if you go to the game "Options" window, and click on the interface tab, there is a toggle about halfway down the list to turn on/off the XP bar. This will hide it.

Likewise the player stats gauge in the upper left corner can also be turned off, by going in to the myUI Settings control pannel. On the first tab where you turn off the background image you can also hide that gauge. True, it's not something that is movable (although I could add that as an option), the encounter HUD will always show your health gauge along side of the offensive target health gauge, so if a player didn't like having that gauge in the upper left corner they could turn it off.

Thanks for checking out myUI though, and for the possitive comments :)

 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! :)

 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.
