"MMOs for breakfast!."

The Highlights from show 72!

Join us for our first recording of our weekly MMO breakfasts! Here's the topics:

1) Beau is worried that his free to play obsession will lead to saving money and more breakfasts!

2) We define what "WoW tourist" means and why in the hell anyone would want to use such a stupid term.

3) Leala asks Beau why he hates raiding, which is not true. Soon after they get into a slap fight. While eating grits.

I LOVED THE BREAKFAST... How did you record this with yoru voices so clear? I loved the clanking of dishes as well as knowing your menu order.

I think this is a great thing to continue.

I'm glad you liked it. I'm surprised we haven't heard anyone complain about it yet. haha

We actually recorded this using my iPhone and an app called SpeakEasy. Best $2 I ever spent in the app store. haha

Yeah, I would have to agree. Decent sound quality considering the atmosphere and the fact that you guy were just talking casually. This is what your show is all about: casual conversations about MMOs between the Turkeys. I love it.

...this was also the easy way out. Editing this is SO much easier than editing three of fours tracks of stuff.

And we are thinking of continuing to have podcasts this way, and maybe going a little later to the diner so that the noise is lessened.

Next topic is going to be "developer transperancy."

Crap, did I spell that right?

'WoW (^.^)6' by CindyL

Love Leala's comments on WoW, I went and bought the base game and am trying the Burning Crusade as a blood elf and am having a really good time. Considering playing this for the summer until Aion finally gets over here.

I kinda feel like I've cheated myself not seriously trying the game before, the thing is the free trial should include the burning crusade and the 2 other races. I couldn't stand the models of all the original races and so I never got into the game. Sounds like a lame excuse, but it's the truth. :)
Another reason I've held back is I was waiting for an all in one expansion like Eq2 does, you buy the latest expansion and get totally up to date. I realize Sony started doing this because they had to, but honestly it's rather expensive to get started with WoW if you want the whole deal from the start. :(

Anyhoo, lots of people hate on WoW because it's cool, it's the big guy we all have to love and hate him. :) But damn it, it's such a fun game now I don't know how long it will be fun for me but for now I'm all giddy with it.

Very cool atmosphere for this show, made me hungry. ;D

a) Playing WoW: Make a character on the Perenolde server, and join the Epic Dolls guild! (Lealas podcast guild.)

b) AION, coming soon I hope..I have been looking at screenies and lore. Looks really nice!

c) It is making me hungry, too, and I'm not even lissenin' right now.
