The MMO Fo' Show Episode #1 - A New Dope

We recorded our very first episode of The MMO Fo' Show on Thursday night, so here it is. The podcast is your run of the mill general MMO podcast covering news, blogs, and other topics we want to comment on. That is, until you play it backwards... Our personalities really shine in reverse and the 5th letters of every 90th word combine to reveal secret government codes that can be used to receive discounts at some of our favorite online retailers.

Hosts

The Big Three (MMO news commentary)

Champions Online delayed
Free Realms and Runes of Magic top 1M players
Eurogamer vs. Darkfall: An epic e-peen tug-of-war

PSA (The more you know...)

Ninja Looting

Rant and Rave (Let's get it on!)

Warhammer Online

Hoggle's Bloggles (Keeping our stinkeye on the community)

Leave us a comment to let us know what you think! I'm pretty sure the audio levels need a bit of adjustment, so I'll make sure the podcast quality is better next time.

I was making it a lot more complicated than it needed to be. I am ready to pop this into the radio player so just let me know if you have a problem with it.

Feel like commenting on your single player RPGs and why you can't play them anymore.

Maybe it's because i've been playing MMOs since the mid 90s, but when *I* sit down with a single player RPG, I treat it like an interactive book.

You have your protagonist, you have your antagonist, you have a beginning a middle and an end. Like a book. Have you quit reading books because you've discovered MMOs? or because they end? Ridiculous.

Nice first episode - I really enjoyed it. My one very niggling complaint is that the volume levels on your voices were much lower than those of your sound effects.... so I'd have the iPod cranked way up to hear you speak, and then you'd deafen me with a musical interlude. =)

Anyhow - hope you guys stick with it - love the show so far!

BTW - can you make the podcast NOT play when you visit this post/your blog's main page?

Really a huge pain to have that happening at work.

It is very much like his Irish impulses. He has a big problem with impulses, illustrated by his first car and the multiple laptops he has walked away from because they so underperformed.
Because of his anger/short temper expect he has acted on his Irish impulse to hit his wife.
Multiple times. I just wonder if he has hit his child as his father hit him. This was intentionally preditory on behalf of "dad" because he was the only one to get hit.
