DDO CTH Ep 19 The British Invasion

lessah@ddococktailhour.com (Lessah and Samius) — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 01:00:00 -0600

Warning: Dry British Humor contained within! Where news-based podcasts might take themselves too seriously, we pride ourselves on riveting our TENS of followers with drunken banter! We dont fear the lowest common denominator we wholly embrace it! And oh yes we WILL tell what we are drinking because its called COCKTAIL HOUR!
Also, todays show is not exclusively about DDO! I know its shocking, but people cannot eat, sleep, and breathe the exact same game for four years straight! Sure we talk DDO, but we wander waaaay off topic this episode and even use complete sentences at one point!
Once again, if you are looking for hard-hitting news, please refer our parent show: The DDO Cast. Otherwise sit back, relax, grab your favorite cocktail whatever that might be, and enjoy as we explore the lighter side of Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited!

Cue the Benny Hill Music, because this week Samius and Lessah welcome long-time podcasters Van Hemlock and Jon Shute from the Van Hemlock Podcast to the show! Our crew veer off-topic a bit to discuss the finer points of gaming and how to wade through so many game choices in such a heavily saturated market. Listen to find out WHY Samius Gurobo is really ALWAYS wearing pants! Thanks so much for listening!

Fag/ Chips/ Football/ Pants! Oh my!

Van Hemlock and Jon Shute may very well be the best podcast you have never listened to.

Article: Physician Gank Thyself, http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_253/7529-Physician-Gank-Thyself this article highlights what I feel is a breakover point for most MMORPG players where you have a break over point between being a casual player and committing to be a serious gamer by investing in the game on a more sophisticated level.
