"Isle of Dawn, Filthy Pigs and YOU"

So yeh, I lost the pic of our food. It looked delicious, trust me.

  Me and Leala decided to talk a bit about Vanguards' trial and if we prefer quests in which you do crap or just really challenging stuff that makes you like die 200 times. (Good times?)
 Essentially, I like to "do things" in game. I am kind of always role-playing, in the way that I take little breaks for my character, read everything and still use UI Immersion Project rules. But, quests that are just "doing stuff" don't last as long as quests in which you have to kill 4000 mobs, so how does a developer stop players from burning through thier much cooler, yet shorter, content?
 
 Who knows. I ain't a dev.. Not yet.
 
  The rain and "Dink!....Dink!..." sound comes from Mabinogi. I was standing near the blacksmith, hiding out from the rain. The sounds were nice. If you would like to record your in game sound, go get Audacity, hit "What U Hear" as your source, and send the MP3 to us so we can include it in our show!

 The music this week comes from some weirdo band called "Bats for Lashes." Kinda' gothy, I guess. The song is a Cure cover from my youth. Well, the cover is not from my youth, but the original is. We used to love the Cure!

Spouse Aggro #76

"Brisket, MMO's, avatars and YOU"

MMmmmmMMmm, here's what we ordered, and here's the BOOB CRAB!

  So, we decided to go have some BBQ for dinner. Beau is seriously considering becoming a vegetarian. Seriously...but AFTER this meal. Some beef, some beers, and some good MMO chatter. We are discussing avatars and how that might give a clue to who is behind the avatar. We use Shut Up We're Talking (a great VW podcast) as a jumping point.
 
 Then, this crazy young girl comes up and makes us a crab. A boob crab. She was very nice, and I felt bad that I had no cash for a tip. Then I felt bad because I indicated that her crab looked like it had boobs. Then one of his legs popped. I liked it. The part where we go "yayyyy" reminds me of A Christmas Story, the scene in the Chinese restaurant at the end. You know the part...the guy chops off the ducks head and the family goes "YAYYYY!"

 The sound of the crickets and stuff was from Beau playing Vanguard. I love background sounds...ambience. Send in your games' sounds and we'll pop it in a break!

  Who likes music? DUH...me. This weeks song is by one of my current sad song fav's: A Fine Frenzy. The song is called "Near to You."

"Breakfast Supper"

The Highlights from show 75!

Beau and Leala break a bit of the mold as they have breakfast at 6 o'clock at night. They venture to a local iHOP (like iPhone, 'cept breakfast) that serves crazy piles of strawberry pancakes and watermelon muffins topped with entire whole halves of a pig.

 A lady with a noisy kid shows up and stays actually pretty quiet, we order food and discuss Free Realms and how people think it is a "kids game."

 We are always looking for locations to record in, and some record better than others. This location does pretty well, sounds better on headphones, and the background noise gets quieter later in the show. We appreciate any patience as we work out not only places to record, but the shows format. I want the show to be a slice from the lives of two MMO gamers. This is how we talk, this is what we talk about.

  Look! More music.  This weeks sad music comes from Azure Ray, a suggestion from a Twitter friend. Go here to watch one of those videos that a fan makes of a still picture with the song in the background. And, of course, the "video" gets like 200k views. That's the internet for ya.

"Breakfast Raiding and Runes of Magic!"

The Highlights from show 74!

1) Beau and Leala welcome you to one of their favorite, and quieter, breakfast places. It's on main street. While it does get annoying when the after-church crowd shows up with their pent up loud kids, the place has good donuts. We talk about raiding and some of the issues Leala has been facing lately. (Hint: Crawl is a noob! hehe)

2) Then, sit in with Riknas from the Free 2 Play podcast, Troy from Travels with Troy, Shawn from Massively and someone's mother as they play Runes of Magic live. Instead of doing a typical edit (since we were all over the place,) I pushed all sorts of clips together to see how they sound. Funny? Yes, if you recognize how a bunch of dudes joke around!

  Look! Music? Of course. You will recognize all the small clips of songs, but our main theme this week was from Imogen Heap, and her song was called "Hide and Seek." Cool stuff.
