WOOHOO! IT'S ALIVE!
(here's hoping the captcha for comments is only a placeholder function)
Excellent! I'm going to enjoy this...
Grabs hold of download link like a drowning person would a life preserver. Needs me some Massively Overpowered goodness to help me get through the day. :-)
SO glad you decided to go the whole hog! I also think you're absolutely doing the right thing by making MOP a full website. For several years now, I always had the feeling that you were too big for the old format -- that the effort you all put in to mass.com couldn't be contained by the AOL blog format. Way to go! :)
Awesome 1st podcast, guys. The music sounded triumphant at the intro and ending.
Glad you guys and gals are back.:) Grats!
Great to have the podcast back! One observation, Justin you didn't put the title music credit in the show notes. Is it original or from a game?
Look forward to many more!
Well, now it's in the show notes! That's okay, glad to have it credited.
Awesome episode! Can't wait to see the site!
My MMO podcast, it's back!
Great podcast, guys... but it left me wanting MO
Aww yea! It's back!
Great first podcast! I've been dying for some more Daybreak Gaming coverage and GW2. :)
Great 1st(?) podcast! Really happy that you are carrying on. Liked the feedback regarding pet classes, especially Loremasters in LOTRO. I agree that you can let the pets do all the dirty work while occasionally throwing balls of fire. Looking forward to seeing the site soon(tm)!
Good to hear you guys again. :D Great podcast as always!
Any word on if the podcast will appear on iTunes?
Yes, definitely looking for a iTunes feed. I must automate all the things.
Yus! Now I can still get my podcast fix! You folks are the *only* podcast I regularly listen to. :)
Saweet!
NR 1! and the crowd gose wild. *goes wild with the crowd*
Great to have you back in my RSSfeed reader my podcast folder felt empty without you.
Excellent work! Also, I'm commenting from... the past! If there's any advice you'd like to share from the future, now's the time!
Welcome back Justin and Bree! It's great to hear you two ruminate on the world of MMOs once more. :-)
Thanks for taking my question on pet AI. I still think pet AI is atrociously basic. This is very noticeable in dungeons, raids and PvP though I'd add open world content at times as well. Blizzard has slowly made pets in WoW better over the years such as the ability to mitigate area of effect damage. But in general, pets don't keep up with human intelligence and the demands for competitive play.
