Episode 18 – Tour of Villainy

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, last minute news that was added just before we posted though which takes a little time to get through.

In this episode we discuss:

Sorry, time is up and I had to remove the file from the post and the server. You can still listen to the book for free on Scott’s site though! I just found out that the limited time was on Random House/Crown’s side — but we are allowed to mirror it indefinitely. So, I’ve put it back up 🙂

Episode 14 – Building Healers

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 request specifically about healing, here it is.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Some quick news (Rikti portal XP update, and a contentious TF/SF change)
  • Villain Strike Force information
  • New Valentine mish in Atlas Park
  • Information about the Manticore/Sister Psyche wedding event
  • Our Defender/Healer disclaimer 🙂
  • Listener feedback
  • Another request for SGs to promote – here is your chance to get your SG some exposure and recruit some new blood! Send us your SG details: Name, Server, Website if you have one, the type of SG it is (role play, farming, PVP, etc.), and how to contact you in-game.
  • Also, let us know a preferred day/time for an in-game meet up!
  • Promo: Geeklabel Radio

Episode 9 – 3rd Party Add-Ons

This episode is all about 3rd party add-ons. As discussed in the episode, these are not sanctioned by NCSoft and are against the terms of use, so they are definitely “use at your own risk”. They could get your account suspended or banned from the game.

One note from last episode: We mention that the Winter event is ending on January 6 (today!) and that they will likely close it out during Monday morning’s maintenance. Well a couple days ago Lighthouse posted on the forums that they will end it TONIGHT! So, you have a few less hours to spend those candy canes.

Links for this episode:

Be sure to write, comment, or call us and tell us about your Super Group (or Villain Group). We’ll highlight a different SG whenever we have time. Tell us what your play style is (hardcore, laid back, raid focused), tell us about your base, any rules you have, oh – and of course what server you’re on.

Here is part two of episode 5 – the Main Topic. We went back and forth about including the faction section, but the main topic was only 20 minutes and this faction was already recorded, so enjoy the Carnies 🙂

In this main topic we discuss everything about Enhancements. The major types and differences between them, how you get the different types, how they all work, and tips for saving millions of influence as you level up.
