To be honest, the D*C MMO title wasn’t working for us. Well, that and can you imagine what it’s like trying to edit out at least half of what we’re saying? Brutal – especially when you’re dealing with a messed-up hand.
Thus, we opted to reimagine the entire podcast, and have rebranded it SnarkCast. In this, our official first edition of SnarkCast, we discuss D*C MMO bidness, sure – but we also wander across the landscape from MMO drama to just what the heck is wrong with FreeRealms. Add in a healthy dose of Hentai, and you have the first-ever SnarkCast.
Admittedly, the engineering on this one is a bit rough, but we’re still working that out. As always feedback, suggestions, or gifts of chocolate-covered espresso beans are welcome!

OMG! Best podcast evar! And that “Kevin” guy sounds like a genius!!! (Oh shit, I did say “Grim” too during that podcast, didn’t I… busted.)
Seriously, hope it was a much fun for you guys to listen to as it was to record.
-Grim
Great podcast, I loved it. I do indeed enjoy the back and forth between ya’ll and the snide comments. I say keep it rough and don’t edit and keep it natural. Can’t wait to see ya’ll at Dragoncon. Dragoncake, sounds great!!!
Thanks Damian! I’m a flaming noob at this whole podcasting thing, so I greatly appreciate the kind words.
D*C this year is going to be awesome. Can’t wait!
Who gets the chocolate covered espresso beans?
I do. Silly minion…
(I think I ate about a pound of them during last year’s convention.)
-Grim
Oh… and they better be DARK chocolate.
-Grim
Milk chocolate for me, please!
OK Milk Chocolate covered ones for Krys… Sorry Grimmy she is nicer than you are…
LOL
She might be nicer, but I’m the one making out the work schedules, capiche?
-Grim
Capiche?!?!? me no habla…
If you are nice I may, get you a bag too.
Silly minion… You fail to understand the dynamics of this situation.
No chocolate covered caffeine pills = Cranky Grimmy
Cranky Grimmy = Unfavorable Work Schedule for Deadstick
Unfavorable Work Schedule for Deadstick = lots of 10:00 AM panels and late night panels in succession over D*C weekend.
It can all be avoided for the low low cost of Dark Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans.
-Grim
Unfavorable panel schedules lead to no Coffee made for panelists, which makes for cranky times indeed…
I may get you some white chocolate covered ones…
Sinner. You’re going to burn for that.
-Grim
That’s OK, Dead, you can come work for me. Grimmy wouldn’t dare refuse me a personal attache’. >;)
Oh, I’d dare… but it would be extremely stupid. I could always change his badge to read “Krystalle’s Minion”
-Grim
LOL
What am I going to Burn for?? there are so many which one are you referring to? The no Coffee for the panelists? or White Chocolate beans for you?
Can your palate tell the difference between White and Dark Chocolate?
–Dead
Burning is Burning… What difference does it make if it is for one sin, or many?
-Grim
Where do I put the wood, boss?
Need more wood.
I’ve got wood for sheep.
