Update: The recording is done and was a great success. We changed up the topic portion a bit in a move away from the “big topic” variety we’d previously shot for. Let us know what you think when it’s up!
Hey Gang,
Just a head’s up about what’s going on with our little MMO show. The rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated. No, the truth is we’re all well and fine, and still very much active in putting together a show for you. Actually, over the last few weeks we’ve recorded two separate shows that each got lost or damaged in the midst of computer troubles.
It’s true, though, that we’ve been a little sporadic in which weeks we choose to take off. The reason for this is that we’d rather have everyone together than piecemeal a podcast for you. So, if Ferrel is traveling or Riknas has dinner plans, we’ll usually reschedule or call the show for that week. Without pulling in a guest last minute, a two person show creates a fairly different dynamic. It also doesn’t help that when things come up, it’s usually the day of recording, so there’s not much of a backup plan in place. If you were around when we started, you know we began as a bi-weekly show. When we decided to go weekly, we decided that it was OK to let real life come first for those “in between” programs. Still, three weeks in between is more than what any of us want. Riknas, Ferrel, and I have all become good friends; missing out on recording time is honestly a bummer.
There are some format changes in the works, too. If you’ve followed us for a while, you know that we generally follow a “big topic” format. I’d like to expand that a bit, make the show more conversational, and alter our music layout. That won’t go live this week but I’m shooting for next. When everything is done, I’m hoping that it creates a more casual atmosphere that still offers everything you’ve come to like.
We’re re-recording episode 24 tonight, if you’d like to drop in. Feel free to join us in the chat at 7PM EST. You can also stream the show live over on the right sidebar. We hope to see you there!
– Chris
