Its too late for clever.. here are the patch notes It clearly WAS too late for clever last night, as I attached episode 24 again!!

Issue 12 Version Soon! Positron Broadcasts Live on MMORPG.com ! There...

It’s the Issue 12 Patch-a-Palooza! Yes, it’s another long one. No, we aren’t trying to bore you to death. We’d like to get all the i12 info out to you, so we can get back to our regular episode schedule. Also, our throats are sore from chatting and getting loud at Balticon , so please bear with us. We sound pretty rough. This time we discuss: Issue 12: Midnight Hour is Live...

Get comfy, heroes.

This time we discuss: News NCSoft and Vivox Announce Collaboration Exclusive Video Look at the Midnight Squad! Discussion of SI radio interview which leads to a mini-Paladin spot...

Today we bring you a mish-mash episode of news recorded the Sunday before we did the interview and news recorded this weekend. In addition we had comments from both weeks as well. We had planned on this being a featurecast, but there was just so much other content that we’re going to save the feature until next week! In this episode we discuss: City of Heroes 4 Year Anniversary address from...

As you can tell from our previous comments, we were quite excited to get on the phone with Joe! So I’m hastily posting the episode, and will take the time to write proper show notes over the next few days Of course we talk about some i11 stuff, i12, lots about NCSoft and writing. I know we mention Playing For Keeps and Paragon Wiki , but can’t remember beyond that. Oh and don’t f...

Optional In-Game Advertising Powerset Proliferation FAQ form Doc Brainstorm i1...

I think we’ve broken our own record again, making this the longest episode. This wasn’t the intention, but I guess we’ll see if everybody who said “longer episodes please!” really meant it I promise that this won’t be a habit and future episodes will get back under the hour mark. This is part two of our guest interview with Rich. There was some very important, l...

Apparently you can only attach 1 media file per post in the RSS2 feed, and since the Infected PDF was the second thing I attached it took over.. Just like Sigler, I tell ya!! So, here is the actual podcast episode… again.. I tried once before and it didn’t seem to take. So I just renamed the file, and we’ll see what happens! ———————&#8212...

This is a bit of a continuation from last episodes information on different character builds. A listener specifically requested information on building a good healer which is why the healing Defender is discussed in-depth here. As we go over in the episode, we are aware that Defenders are much more than healers (that they indeed are more buffers/debuffers than healers), but since there was a reque...

All of the patch notes detail what changes are happening on the Test Server and we really hope that some of them go live before the double XP weekend. Probably unrealistic, but there is some cool stuff going on in there! Of course, there is no guarantee that the stuff being tested will ever make it to the live game. Changes to powers for various archetypes (lots for Forcefield Controllers, but som...
