Well, we made it into the double digits! Join us this week as we celebrate hitting our 10th episode, with the help of our friends in the chat room!
This show was a blast to record. It was full of laughs and good spirits, as we talked about what we’ve been playing and our thoughts on this “add 10 levels with every expansion” business. Is that how it has to be and how did we get to this point?
If you get the chance, check out our Live Stream. I was struck by some strange muse and decided to skin a furby. Yep, this is what you miss when you grab the download!
From all of us though, really, thanks for making the last 10 episodes a blast. Your listenership means a lot to all of us and has made the idea of “MMO Radio” a lot more real. Here’s to another 10! *cheers*
To help you start your week off right, we bring you Episode 9 of The Multiverse and, in my opinion, our best episode yet. We were joined by Syp, from Bio Break (Sypiest. Episode. Ever!) and had a good time talking all things MMORPG.
Join us this week for a interview with Syp, as well as our short-term and long-term predictions for the future of MMORPGs. Of course, we also talk about the week’s news (*cough* Allod’s *cough*) and have some fun discussing games and movies past.
We also change things up a little bit and turn Ferrel’s Guild Tip of the Week into Uncle Ferrel’s Story Hour. By request! See, you can’t say we don’t listen.
It seems too quick to be presenting Episode 8 but here we are! Episode 8 is a little different from The Multiverse you’re used to, though, so here’s what you can expect.
Episode 8 is the “Little Show.” To change things up between releases, we’ll be alternating between our regular format and the more conversational, stripped down, format you’ll hear here. Pretty much, the little shows will be slightly shorter and focus in on a main topic or two, while we keep the host segments for the main show. We’re still going to be hitting the news and feature everything else you’ve told us you enjoy.
We also have some other big news to accompany this release. Starting this Friday, we’ll be broadcasting our shows LIVE courtesy of Livestream. You can check out our feed over on our Vagary page by clicking on “listen live.” Tune in at 7PM EST, every Friday, to hear us record and join in the chat room.
We record every Friday at 7PM EST. You can listen live here or, head over to our channel, and join in the chat room.
*Note: Channel still “OFFLINE” right at 7? Stay tuned. We usually begin the show a little after. Even better, check the chat room for anything we might update beforehand.
Thanks for stopping by. If you’ve been here at all recently, then you probably know we’ve been reorganizing the site. This is just one part of how we’re looking to expand what we offer to you, our listeners. In the past, we’d previously relied more on our personal sites to get content out to you but, since we’re a member of the Vagary family, we’d like to bring more of that in right here at home.
We’re always looking to do what we do bigger and better. Just today, we’ve reworked our iTunes icon into something a little more catchy. Check it out.
Forgive the graininess, it's a scale-up.
That’s only the tiniest piece of what’s going behind the scenes. More importantly, we’re happy to announce that, starting tomorrow, we’ll be recording weekly. On top of that, we’re exploring the possibilities for bringing the show to you live, streaming. We’re also looking into setting up a chat room, so we can all get together during our recordings and bring you into the program. And that’s not all.
We’re back at it again, with Episode 7 of The Multiverse. This week, we talk about RMT, where MMOs are headed, and whether or not Global Agenda and MAG are really MMOs. We also talk a little bit about Final Fantasy 14, the outbreak of nude mining in Mortal Online, and Lego Universe.
Riknas couldn’t join us this week since he was taking a vacation with family. Rest up, Riknas! You’re due back this Friday to record the first episode of our new weekly show!
That’s right, starting this week, we’re going to be recording every week. We really enjoy putting this thing on, so it’s a natural move for us. Going forward, we’re interested in expanding the show even more and doing some live stuff. Stay tuned for more.
In honor of her stopping by, we decided to talk about guilds and what they mean to players and in the MMOs they’re a part of. We also talk a little bit about Everquest 2 and the upcoming battleground system. We decided to change up the usual host segments a little bit, so we also spent a little time talking about the changing definition of F2P and Ferrel’s recent trials with Blizzard, after they’d banned the account he’d just had restored and secured… for exploiting!
I think this is one of our best shows yet and we here would like to know what you think too. Give us your thoughts in a comment, iTunes review, or send us an email. We’d like to expand the show and can’t do it without your help, so join in and be a part of our crew!
For your listening pleasure, we give you the day late Episode 5 of The Multiverse. We had a lot of fun recording this one but we went about it a little bit differently. Rather than highly editing everything, we approached it like we were live. Behind the scenes, these episodes usually take me about three hours to produce. This is our effort to cut that down to about an hour, so please let me know what you think and which way you prefer the show. I think it came out good.
Be sure to tune in after the ending music for a couple of bonus segments. During the first we talk about the Dante’s Inferno demo (well, to be fair, it’s mostly me gushing and trying to convince Ferrel to try it, but some funny stuff comes out of it). Second, we give you a sneak peak into what happens between the segments…
Oh, and about the title… well, you’ll have to listen to the bonus parts to get that, I guess.
Bonus Segments (Possibly NSFW, so use headphones. PG-13 stuff)
Dante’s Inferno – The Demo – **SPOILER WARNING**
The in-betweens… what happens when we go to music breaks. Possibly NSFW, so listen through headphones.
Music for Today’s Show:
- Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – Hyrule Field Theme
- Legend of Zelda (NES) – Overworld Theme
- Goldeneye 007 – Nintendo 64
- Thrice – So Strange I Remember You
Another two weeks, another episode of the Multiverse! We had a lot of fun recording this one and I think it shows. We’re putting the call out for your funny stories this week, so have a listen and share them with us!
As always, we welcome your comments and reviews. Let us know what you think!
Welcome to Episode #3 of Riknas, Ferrel’s, and my pet project. We got together a little bit late this past week, so sorry about being a day late. This week, we talked about storytelling, immersion, and, yes, Epic Riknas. What is an Epic Riknas you might ask? Only the best up and coming MMO out there! Riknas Online is set to launch sometime in 2035, alongside Chris: The Final Frontier, a virtual reality version of the Oregon Trail. It’ll be a box set.
We were also happy to be joined by Ryan, writer here, and operator of our host, Vagary TV. Ryan’s currently a staff member on one MUD and the main developer for another, so he had an interesting perspective on how content gets presented to the player. Thanks for joining us, Ryan!
If you enjoyed the show, we’d love to hear about it in the comments or through an iTunes review (iTunes reviews will get honored on the show… *wink wink*). You can also feel free to contact us directly at multiversepodcast@gmail.com.
