I have friends already booking for DC next year. I saving for Hero Con next year, but if PAX comes to the east coast as planned, You'll find me there. You mentioned about farming in games, and like you I don't see a reason for it but if that's the way you game go for it. Now those peeps that make money selling gold are annoying. I don't apperciate being spammed. CoH has gotten some control over direct spamming so you only have to weed through 100 in game emails. Aion on the other hand being the new game on the block... Every other general broadcast or whisper is selleing cheap gold...(not even the right term for the game) That is annoying and does interfere with my game play because I'm missing chat and whispers. Spammers deserved to be sacked. kk feel better now, awesome show guys. Brian aka Stormax. Sorry to hear about the theft. I have friends already booking for DC next year.

Listening to the second part of the recap I remembered that I wanted to comment on this part. This will be my FOURTH try after the first three got eaten by my browser some time ago each with a session timeout. Don't worry... I'm up to date with Wandering Geek (even the latest episode), the 30+ hours are currently down to 20-25 hours and are from all of my about 100 subscribed podcasts. Regarding my "Earthcore as a 4e adventure" project, this is still major vaporware, but if I get enough feedback on my blog (so far it's absolutely NONE) I will certainly expand this idea. Doh!

Unfortunately the sound quality is just too bad that I cannot follow the dialog of whats being said. I tried to run the mp3 through some filters but to no avail. Not sure if there is anything you can do to the source to improve and cut the background noise. As a new listener to the show I was excited when you posted this.

And good reviews to boot! First of all, I wanted to clarify that Cluzzle is not available at Target, although it is available at Target.com. The Wits & Wagers for the Xbox will be online starting in early May. Although it may seems young kids would find this game hard, I have played with a few 10 year old, and they loved it, even asking to play the game repeatedly. Sometimes they even win! Even kids younger than 10 enjoy the game. Our website, www.northstargames.com, has testimony to that effect. The game can work with teams of up to 6 or so, but in your home that would be a bit unruly, and you would have to have a ginormous home (maybe you do). So we figured teams of 3 is best for play at home. Just make sure to keep everyone beholden to the timer! Oh, and to wet your whistle, we will have a 'travel trivia' version of Wits & Wagers coming out in November (hopefully!). You will definitely have to review that one!

I thought this tip would be helpful. Since Origins is in a larger city there is a city guide web site that has all sorts of local info. What I use it for is finding cheaper, very tasty food. Here's the one for Columbus. http://experiencecolumbus.com/dine-here.cfm I'm sure Indianapolis has a similar site with local attractions and restaurants as well.

The series wasn't too bad, there are far worse series on the air right now.

Yesterday when I was "powering up" in Guild Wars (still doing pre-searing quests) I had WGR as the background music and while I recognised many songs from FUMP, Song of the Day or other sources, I discovered some "new" songs. Five Years has to be the best B5 compilation I know of. I'm really looking forward to further shows like these. The "themes" for the blocks of music also were great. Definitely something to keep. Just one point... You might want to limit shows to 74-80 minutes. I know that many people listen to shows on (audio) cd players and if they don't have mp3 support the show won't fit.
