If you were at Dragon*Con this year, and if you attended the World of Warcraft Addons panel, you’ll know that we ran out of time to cover everything. And if you weren’t there or didn’t attend, well, now you know. But Chad was nice enough to run through the entire thing all over again once he got home and recorded it. So, without further ado, but below the fold, presented in four parts, the Dragon*Con MMORPG World of Warcraft Addons panel! Continue reading »

Well, it took us more than 2 years, but we’ve finally made it to 20 podcasts. I’m not sure of the significance of that milestone, but it’s a nice round number, so YAY! WE HAZ 20 PODCASTS NAO! In this episode, Grimmy and Krystalle are a little… less inhibited, when it comes to snark. We manage to keep things serious long enough to discuss…
- Cross-realm Dungeon Finder premium service coming soon
- Atari to Divest Champions Online Developer Cryptic Studios
- Funcom planning Age of Conan: Unrated F2P launch this summer
- Rift is getting ready to provide free server transfers
- Guild Launch is sponsoring the MMO Track this year
- Dragon*Con News
We’re also looking for feedback on the idea of going live with the show. If you’d like to chime in, please leave a comment here, or email us at podcast@dc-mmo.org
We’re back! Grim’s voice has returned to normal (much to the dismay of ladies everywhere, I’m sure) and Krystalle has finally mustered the strength to try and keep him in line again.
This week’s (sic) SnarkCast covers all sorts of fun stuff.
- SIEGE Con – Grim goes to a convention which doesn’t require him to work. Will he survive?
- World of Darkness – Watch Krystalle nearly pass out from the Squee.
- Dragon*Con is making some changes for next year.
- Cataclysm is dropping on December 7th. Grim expecting to get “sick” that week.
- DC*MMO is looking for a few good staffers. (Yes, we’re serious)
- and the proverbial.. “Much Much MORE!”
Hey there, everyone! Krystalle here, in for Jhaer, who is off doing that real-life thing. (Crazy bastage, out pugging that outdoor instance in this heat?!) Anyway, as I’m guesting in for him this week, I wanted to show off one of my favorite World of Warcraft machinima. Baron Soosdon’s work has always really impressed me, but his combination of World of Warcraft and Portal was particularly well done, I thought. That, and this song by the Victims of Science is awesome. (It impressed me enough that I’ve since made it the opening song I play when I’m DJing somewhere – a calling card, of sorts.)
But enough about my thoughts on the video, here it is!
Also, I’d be terribly remiss if I was doing machinima without mentioning the incredibly wonderful and talented Christina “Romily” Rollins, who has been coming to Dragon*Con for a few years to share some of the best Machinima from around the world with us. Take, for example, this film she introduced us all to last year. While the game featured isn’t an MMO, I think anyone who has ever looked for a group can sympathize with this Pyro.
If you really enjoy machinima, be sure to check out her panels this year! Currently they are scheduled as follows:
Machinima (Cool, notable, and award-winning) – Friday, 8:30 PM, Savannah Room
Machinima (Comedy, off the wall, or as Grim calls it “fart and dick jokes”) – Saturday, 8:30 PM, Savannah Room
Also note, you’re welcome to bring snacks and drinks since this is set up pretty much just like going to the movies. Only we don’t have ushers, so please clean up after yourselves! 
In the first of, hopefully, several new regular features on the DC*MMO website, a couple of our staffers have decided to post a weekly video. The title of this feature seems kinda obvious, doesn’t it? =)
Anyhow, I thought I’d get things off to a rousing start by giving you all yet another JoCo video. The man is a genius.
