8 Comments on Episode 22 – News and Comments

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 Positron
Issue 12 open Beta
The 4 Year Anniversary Calendar with important dates (double XP weekends, etc)
City of Heroes staff at Summer trade shows
- Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in Sdattle
- Comic-Con in San Diego
Many, many comments, an e-mail, and a voicemail from a celebrity guest (kind of)
SG Spotlight: The Knuckleheads. Both Hero AND Villain side SG on the Pinnacle server. A casual/fun group that enjoys some PLs and other advanced play.
Promo: Chasing The Bard (an amazing free audiobook)

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:

A last minute news item from Lighthouse and Positron
Dr. Brainstorm’s Discovery
Powerset Proliferation
Improved Character Creator
Back to the Burrow for us
The new Forums are rocking – come join us (they got their first porn submissions!)
Chooch went to lunch with Mur Lafferty, Tee Morris, Marc Bailey & Heather Welliver, and many other creative peoples
Don’t forget our new voicemail number: 206-333-3206
Some explanations of why some powers did or did not make it into the proliferation, including letting us know that eventually ALL of the powers should make it over!!

Episode 17 – Take Three!

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!

——————————

Episode is a bit late… but there was an injury involved, so please don’t debuff us 🙂

That’s right, the ENTIRE Novel in no-DRM PDF form is in the feed. However, this is a “3 day only” deal, so I will be removing the PDF from the feed on April 1st.

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 🙂
