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!”

No really huge notes this time around, since we’re FRIED. Yep, crispy-fried podcast hosts. Still, the important thing is that you get a SnarkCast in a timely fashion, which we’ve delivered.

Sadly, none of the audio from the weekend’s recordings made it (we think whatever weird thing that made Grimmy’s PC play music at chipmunk speed is the same thing that caused the audio to be unusable) but hey – learning experience for next year, when we’ll show you a real snarkcast. :)

A couple of old EverQuest guildies of mine, and good friends, Tara and Cassandra, have a website and podcast called (this should be no surprise to you if you read the title of this post)  The Most Popular Girls On The Internet.

I think Tara spend too many hours playing Red Dead Redemption or something, because she thought it would be a spiffy idea to invite me on the show as a guest this week. (We’re recording on Friday, and I’ll definitely be posting the link here when it goes live)

I think, in actuality, that this is payback for me making her sit on the infamous Meridian 59 panel with me all those years ago…

The Infamous "Meridian 59 Guy" panel

(That’s Tara on the left sitting next to me, Crumpster, and Brian ‘Psychochild’ Green back in 2006)

As an added bonus, here is conclusive proof that I do, in fact, wear costumes at Dragon*Con!

A pirate and his wench... Ok, just Grim and Alihja again

Tara was nice enough to write up her experiences back at the 2006 Dragon*Con on one of her other, very appropriately named, websites.

Maybe, one day, I’ll revisit the costume idea of “Jay and Pirate Bob”…

Jay and Pirate Bob

(Not that it will take much work to convince Muskulls to wear a pirate outfit again this year…)

You can see more of the pics from 2006 (and other years) in our Multimedia Gallery.

Hello everyone! It’s time for another edition of the SnarkCast. This episode, we ramble and scramble through swampf and through swumpf, and bring you news about MMOs, because we’re Nice People. (har!) That said, this one contains a bit more cussing than normal, so keep the headphones on if you’re at work or the kiddies are around. Show notes are behind the break.

This edition of the Snarkcast is a little longer than normal, and we go a bit further in-depth into certain issues than we usually do, but we hope you enjoy it.

Ok, so I’m a noob. For some dumb reason, the rss feed which populates our podcast directory on iTunes has been borked for quite a while. After much tinkering, weeping, and gnashing of teeth, I think I finally have it fixed.  At least every Snarkcast shows up under iTunes now.

I am half tempted, as soon as I have a few weeks of free time, to go through a bunch of our outtakes and give you a “best of Snarkcast which never got published”.  As chaotic and “free form” as we are, sometimes Krys and I ramble a little bit too much.  Mixed in with all that chaos are occasional nuggets of hilarity that may be dated, but still funny.

Time will tell, but for now you have some new podcasts to check out. :)

We’re back with another round of Snark for you to enjoy. One word of warning though, this particular SnarkCast is quite a bit… well, let’s just say that you probably don’t want to crank this up in your office or in front of small children. Someone needs to rinse out Grim’s mouth (Scotch is preferred, coffee is acceptable).

Ok, so it’s not Steve Martin celebrating the appearance of a new phone book…  We finally have a new SnarkCast for you even though it is a bit abbreviated.  Enjoy!

Yeah, I know, we promised…

This version of the Snarkcast is a little more “free form” than usual.  Of course we make fun of the usual suspects (World of  Warcraft, Aion, and NCSoft in general) as well as give you some recent news from Dragon*Con and the games we happen to be playing at the moment. (Both Krystalle and I are kinda hooked on Fallen Earth right now)

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy.  Now that we’re a little closer to the holidays, we should start getting more Dragon*Con related information to throw your way as well as having a little more time to actually play all of the games we love to play.

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!
