I specifically left the Dan Rather Rap off because the soundbite begins with "Desperation, despair...." I didn't think that'd be the right message to send immediately following the interview. :P

I believe that's a wallpaper from Jagex's official website. I made that article image last year for an interview I did with Henrique Olifiers.

Sorry about that. Gordon was having some trouble with his mic, and I basically had to run every filter in the book on the audio to get it to come out as clear as it is.

Thank you for the feedback, Brian.

For my part, if anything I used to be too positive. Back in the day I ran a fansite, of all things. But, as you said, I've gotten very jaded over the years, which to my mind was through no great fault of my own.

When it comes right down to it, I'm a gamer who enjoys talking about games, and I'd like to think that I give credit where credit is due. Maybe the fact that I haven't been giving out much credit lately is just a reflection of my opinion of the current state of the industry.

The gaming industry as a whole, and the MMO genre in particular, has been growing increasingly stale with each passing year. When budgets for games are skyrocketing past 50 million dollars, no one dares to take a risk on reinventing the wheel and losing that kind of money if they get it wrong.

As a result, long-term fans such as myself have essentially been playing DikuMUD over, and over, and over again, with a new coat of paint on it and some minor tweaks to the formula every few years.

But I respect your opinion that we should include more positive segments in the show, and if you have any suggestions on more cheerful items you'd like us to discuss, feel free to drop us a line at podcast@mmogamer.com.

Sorry about the strange jumpy edits, guys. Something about the way I made the file multitrack to add in the music seems to have moved all my cuts a half a second later.

We apologize for the delay, Katy. As Siam said, we are still to this date waiting for the prizes to be sent from CCP. We aren't quite sure what the delay is, but we've been trying to get it sorted out for the past several weeks. You know as much as we do at this point.

Thanks, fixed it. I used Google to spell check the player names (I'm not a big baseball fan, myself) but apparently that one slipped through the cracks.

In the next show I might even not use my two dollar microphone that makes me sound like I'm talking on one of those brick mobile phones from the 80s.

I didn't win the lottery to attend his memorial service at the Staples Center.

Think I could get press credentials if I told them I was from The MMO Gamer? It works for E3!

I'll be sure to ask them that in the next interview.
