Voyages of Vanguard #5
Mon, 11 Jun 2007 05:51:00 GMT [download/play]

This week in the Voyages of Vanguard, Troy laments that he has so little time to play the game and readies for a long vacation. He talks about the Voyages of Vanguard Friends Network, and asks for more ideas and suggestions on improving the show. We hear about his special upcoming podcast, called TMOG, while he is away on vacation. He wraps up the show with a number of segments on game notes, a spotlight on Dagulas and Malthoria, wishes for Vanguard, and what his characters have been doing in the game.

First of all, I love your show.

Secondly, thank you for talking about content in Martok. I'm a goblin, and I have stubbornly refused to leave this island until I have completed every single quest I can find. And sadly, that's not a whole lot. At levels 12-13, most of the quests that are left are all Group quests, and even those (say, 5 or 6 of them) are clustered in a single area called the 'Gardens of Xi-something'. Can't remember what the name was.

Your ideas to stick a dungeon or something on that continent to get it going is an excellent idea.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

This sound really interesting to me. While I enjoy hearing about all the stats and things in Vanguard (it's a Vanguard podcast after all!) I'd enjoy hearing about broader topics - which TMOG would seem to encompass.

Also, interested in you touching on SWG. My Ex-Number One game :)

Good Ol' VoV! It is of supreme pleasure that someone still listens to these old shows. Vanguard brings back so many grand memories and some exciting adventures with Ratook and Pidge (where has these boys gone off to).

I ask others to listen to the old shows as well, for the good and the bad.

Thanks Rik for reminding me of the good ol' days!

No problem at all. I was flying around in STO trying to get from commander to captain and thought, "you know, I need a familiar voice and un-STO related chat to take my mind off this grind!"

What I think is great is that podcasts can, in theory, be up on the web forever and are something of a document and testiment to the time they were made. Unlike before, we can now share experiences and crystallize them forever. I really miss Jonathan's Gamers Anthology for this also. I don't watch much TV these days, since there are so many hours of free content to listen to from people like yourself.

Experiences are no longer just the treasured memories of an individual - they can be shared (maybe this is the essense of an mmo and why podcasts as a medium seem to compliment them so well?) Shows like thse also gives me courage to continue with my own efforts in the podcasting medium. Maybe it'll be worth it in the end!
