This week we start to settle back into a somewhat normal snarky schedule, covering both Dragon*Con MMO goodness and things going on in the MMO world. We also managed to catch a bit of news before everyone headed to AGDC this week (Austin Game Developer’s Conference) to discuss the state of the industry. Harrumph, harrumph, harrumph.
It also looks like the new engineering is working nicely in terms of flipping these casts over faster. We’re going to aim for once a week, but we’d love to hear from you in regards to show times. Would you prefer SnarkCast be around 30 minutes, or is the current hour-long chunk good for you? Be sure to let us know in the comments!
Note: If the above audio is choppy for you, please consider downloading it to your local machine before listening. We’ve made the file significantly smaller than before, so it should come down pretty quickly.
As always, full show notes are after the break!
Here’s what we’re talkin’ ’bout this week, Willis.
- D*C stuffs, as always!
- Is MAG an MMO?

Love the snarkcasts as they are. Yoiu guys do a great job. I d/l them and listen on my local box.
Love it, y’all!
Beej
I would say if it will be once a week, 30 minutes should be long enough. If it is an hour, shoot for every other week maybe. Ultimately it’s up to ya’ll and how much time you have.
