Episodes from 2010, Podcast

albumart_thumb1[1]This week we talk about how slow the LOTRO news is. This is what happens when there is not much to report on.

Goldenstar has been playing FFXIII and hasn’t much to report for LOTRO. She’s a little strange this episode from an overdose of final fantasy.

Merric is working on his cooking and farming and talks about is issues with math and flour. He also fishing to get Goldenstar some will food. He is working on questing in Mirkwood to get up his faction with those elves and has worked a bit more on minstrel who is now 27.

Don’t miss the new videos Merric is creating showing Skirmish encounters!

Raise Your Glass

Update from Celedor on LM Skill

I found that come Mirkwood, there hasn’t been that 1.5 (or so) second downtime between the use of Air Lore and the next queued skill (I still don’t have the upgraded version, I am an alt-aholic :P and my LM is stuck at 62 while my alts get the love). So that’s nice, but I agree with you Merric: Overall, it is still… Uhhhhh…. :)

Another great show!

    @Goldenstar – your idea for what you’d do for a day as CEO has sort of happened, at the end of every beta the devs spawn a TON of stuff in various areas. One of them was up in Riv with a number of dragons stomping around trying to burn down the city ;) Or a Balrog or 2 stomping around bree :)

    Fun times, but must also be a HUGE stress test for their poor server hampsters…

    “This is swerious. You’re getting spwammed…” You guys kill me. Burst out laughing while listening at work and had several people wonder what my deal was. Only Noggin/NickJR watching parents are going to get that melodic reference. Great podcast as usual, regardless of the slow week. Have fun at PAX!

    Thanks for the shout out guys, If you go to forochel one tip- if there is a blizzard- leave it until it improves. If the sun is shining, or there is a night sky its an epic landscape, if its a blizzard its as miserable as hell and you can;t see more than a few feet.

      Ah, good tip! Ironically my level 20 hunter may be the first to spend the most time there so he can hit fishing. However, Everswim is first on that list. :)
