Listen to this new Community Interview, featuring Jonquin and Seidian from my NEW guild, Ancient Valor! I am going to be doing these lil mini-cast at least once a week, or maybe more. I want to get the community interviewed more, but don’t want to put out even more space-hogging podcasts on Virginworlds delicate server!

So, I will host this myself. If you know a community member that you want interviewed, let me know. Send me an email and I’ll get em on the show! I want this to be a frequently updated, separate podcast from the “regular” podcast, so let’s get to work!

The highlight from show 55!:

* Me and Faeran of VGwalkthroughs talk all about GU6! We giggle like schoolgirls, he says poo like, 56 times, and overall we have a good time discussing our favorite game, World of Warcraft.
Aaaahhh see there? I keed. I mean Vanguard, noob.

The beginning clip is from “Steel Magnolias“, my favorite chick flick next to “Bridges of Madison County.” I have always had a crush on Sally Field. If you laugh at this point, then you don’t understand. An amazing actress, cute as a button, and can clearly portray all 7 stages of grief. Or 9 stages…whatever.

The music is from the movie “Once.” A good lil movie about musicians. Won Oscars and stuff.

What are my plans for the show?

What is going on?

Why did Luper run off to a summer camp for nerds?

The music for this weeks show:  “Rainbow Connection” by Kermit the Frog. This was Kermits major hit, which was, according to his closest sources, about snorting angeldust off the butt of a swine. Years later he said of the song: “I hated it. I hated singing it, and I hated that g**damn banjo. Plunk plunk. I wanted to shove it straight up that guys *ss.”

Two weeks later Kermit was found dead, with a banjo string tied around his neck.

The highlights from show 51!:

* Welcome to our Fan Faire Special!

We originally planned to release a total of three chunks of audio! Instead, I have mixed the “normal” show with the “documentary” about the Live Quest. So, they are both on this one special..so keep listening through to the end!

Then we had the bulk, raw audio from the panel discussions pressed into one MP3. So, go download those RAW FILES HERE. Bear in mind I have heard them 100 thousand times, but I could’ve still missed something. I don’t think there are any curse-words, or anything silly, but let me know. Hell, I apologize now.

Here are links to the puzzles from the Live Quest and the answers! Play along! Keep in mind that in the audio I skip maybe one or two of the puzzles, but they are still fun to solve. Here’s a hint if you’re stuck: get a Burtimus.

The songs of the show? Well, the weird girl one is from Tegan and Sara, the song is called “Back in Your Head.” Dance-able huh?

The song at the beginning and end of the “documentary” is from the Vanguard soundtrack, which came with the Limited Edition. It’s the Leth Nurae song. Damn purdy huh?

Thanks to all those at Fan Faire, and thanks for all those that donated and voted and made it possible for me to go. Man, I owe you guys.

The highlight from show 51!:

* We welcome Ichie, Associate Game Designer for our favorite game! We talk lore, lore, lunch, mirrors, dragons,vampires,lore, and lore.

Band of the show? Jane’s Addiction, that’s who. “Stop” is the song, and man I remember running around on Saturday nights listening to this, causing trouble. I loved this band and when I watch them ,and other bands from my Yute, I realize that so many bands nowadays are so so so so bad. Metal is top 40, and all the singers sound like Pearl Jam or Nirvana. And that was over a decade ago. I mean, Daughtry?? Seriously??

(*Warning*: There are some references to “Adult Beverages” on the show. No cursing, but references to “par**ing” and “b**r”, as well as being “tr**hed”. Tell the kids to leave the room. *Warning*)

The highlights from show 50:

We had such a blast recording this LIVE show..here’s a lil backstory:

Luper: Hey Beau, let’s do that live recording, again. This time just audio though.
Beau: Good idea, Luper!
Luper: Ok, let’s start it early, to work out all kinks.
Beau: Roger!
*starts Skype*
Beau: Hmm, I can’t bring up the menu to moderate the room! That means that anyone can get in and talk on the mic!
Luper: Hmm, don’t worry, calm down noob. I’ll just host my own room, and we’ll see if I can moderate it.
Beau: Oh my god I’m getting so mad I might throw up.
Luper: Calm it down. Ok look, it works! I can moderate it!
Beau: Ok, did you set it to take away the ability to talk from all guests?
Luper: Ah, crud, I missed that I think.
Beau: Don’t worry, during the show, you won’t be distracted by annoying kids trying to come into the room over and over. I mean, they call it griefing, but it’ll be easy to keep up with it..I’ll just be sassy and drink! But you, you have to not only keep an eye on all the griefers, but you have to talk as well! Don’t forget to say things!
Luper: Yeh, it’ll be easy, AND fun!

*starts to record show*

Beau: Man, this is FUN!! *bbrraaappppp!!!!!*
Luper: They’re everywhere!! They won’t stop coming in!!
Beau: So, Luper, what did you do in game this week?

We introduce some branches of the VoV tree on this show, talk to our fav’s Faeren and Jute, and play the new theme song written by Faeren! IT ROCKS! HERE are the lyrics!

Next week we will talk about Harassment in game and what to do about it, and Luper will be talking about some subjects of her choice!

Fun Trivia: Karen actually said “goodbye” earlier in the recording, but I put it at the end of the show to make a little more sense. No, she didn’t sit there say nothing the entire show!

Fun Links: Go to vgwalkthroughs to see the Pawz the Bear video, the un-official VG video that everyone raved about, and  OUR THEME SONG WITH LYRICS!!

* We talk about what we did in game! We DID A LOT!
* Beau went to some dungeons, and Luper talks about a COOL high 30′s dungeon.
* Talk more about Fan Faire!

* ISLE OF DAWN talk!!
* Lupers phone rings and Beau’s doggies bug him.
* Beau gripes about the inability to get a racial mount (QQ) and Luper gripes (yawns) a bit too. Forgive the editing. It’s crazy. I was SOOOOO tired, we had been up at 2 am recording because I had to be at the hospital to do my rounds. I missed some stuff in the edit. Oh well. Podcast Grp looking 4 EDTR.
* At the end of the show is our new contributor, JUTE! She’s doing a cool interview!!

Beau and Lupita McCooingStein….that’s STINE!

PS: No one has guessed Silius’ fav. movie yet! Keep the guesses COMING!!!

Remember, the 25th of July will be our live, in-game recording of our 50th SHOW!! We will record live in game at Lupers’ guild hall, but you will need to log in to Skype to join our live conversation. This will be at night, ’round 7:30 PM, Central time USA!

This week’s song is picked out by Beau and is “Everything’s Ruined” by Faith No More! This band was fun back in the day, when I saw em live they threw a bunch of food all over. This band has my favorite drummer. To this day, if I record, I use him as a good sound to base my drum sound off of.

* Guess who’s back? That’s right. It’s SILIUS! Master of all things Vanguard! Not only does he get grilled and chilled by the VoV Criz-ew but he also gives us his opinions about some cool things like “hardcore” and da’ riftways!

Be sure to hear the important announcment at the end of the show.

Also, make sure to submit to us (listen to the show for details) by EMAIL your guess as to what Silius’ favorite movie is! If you get it guess what? He will name an item after you, in game!!

Beau

PS: We will also be doing a “mini-cast” this week, to dive into some of the subjects we have talked about with Silius. We’ll let ya know when and where!

This week’s song is picked out by Luper and is Symphony X’s song called “Serpent’s Kiss.” (Big surprise there, what else would you think a song like that would be called? How ’bout “Going Bowling?” next week is BEAU’S pick!! )

PS: If you’d like to listen to me rant and rave (being a lil drunk and a lil sleepy) for 2 hours about gaming and stuff, go listen to The Addicted Gamer HERE.
