MNB: Episode 14 (”Grave Digging”)
This week for MMOG Nation Broadcast episode 14, Michael gets to ’sit’ down with one of his blogging idols, Mr. Tim Dale of the Van Hemlock blog and podcast! Michael and Tim find themselves in most unusual circumstances: the depths of a fetid and swampy graveyard in the middle of the night! They’re there to go graverobbing, pulling out the bits they want and leaving the rest to rot. The subjects of their graverobbing attentions?
Asheron’s Call 2
Mythica
Auto Assault
Gods and Heroes
Join us for some retrospectives on gameworlds that have gone to a better place …

Hilarious!
Well done! A creative way to walk down Cancellation Lane and revisit games that, I too, played and/or was looking forward to. I began playing PC games in 2002, right in the middle of the fantasy trio of WarCraft III, Dungeon Siege, and Neverwinter Nights. After discovering the joys of the single-player experience, it wasn’t long before I stumbled upon MMORPG’s through, I believe Asheron’s Call 2. Auto Assault, Saga of Ryzom…unique games that I will miss(especially since the original Asheron’s Call is still running. How does that work?)
I’ve listened to Virgin Worlds off and on, but this is the first time I’ve listened to one of the satellite programs. Base on this podcast, NOT the last. Next stop:Van Hemlock!
