Must-listen: Van Hemlockcast #33

Michael — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:05:30 +0000

Just in case you hadn’t already checked it out, episode 33 of the Van Hemlock podcast is entirely taken up by Jon and Tim listening to and talking about game music. It’s not *all* MMO-related, but it’s a bigtime fun time just the same.

This week we’ve got our first annual year end music show, where we let you listen to music from games that you do know and maybe some that you don’t.

This time the music comes from these games:

Warhammer Online / Guild Wars / Neocron 2 /Morrowind
Planescape Torment/ Mass Effect /Darwinia /Halo 3 /Overlord
Mirror’s Edge/ Portal/ Tron 2.0/ Bioshock/ Homeworld 1
Gears of War 1 & 2/ Summoner/ Evil Genius/ Crackdown/ Fallout 3
Tone Rebellion/ Lord of the Rings Online /Civilization 4

How I WoW On the WoW Insider Show

Michael — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:07:50 +0000

This past week on the WoW Insider Show, we were thrilled to welcome our friend Michael Zenke of Massively.com — in addition to his experiences in Wrath so far, we talked with him about a few other MMOs WoW players might be interested in this holiday season. Matthew Rossi was also on, and he brought his terrific insight on Warriors, Death Knights, Shamans, and itemization for pretty much all of the classes in the new expansion. And we welcomed back our old friend Turpster to the show — you didn’t think he’d be gone for long, did you?

Donning a Cape for a ‘Cast

Michael — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:25:27 +0000

This past weekend I actually sat in on two more podcasts. A sickness: I has it. I blame Brent. In any case, the Limited Edition blokes were kind enough to invite me on for a chat about DC Universe Online. Along the way we talk about the closure of Tabula Rasa, comic books (of course), and the beauty of cartoons.

Limited Edition #7

Hot off the tail of our Bioware interview last time on Limited Edition we are joined by Michael Zenke from Massively, MMOGNation and also part of the VirginWorlds Collective to discuss DC Universe Online. We invited Michael to join us as the content on DCUO from massively has been outstanding and we could think of no-one more qualified to do it justice.

The added bonus that comes with Michael is that he loves comic books. We chat about what we have been playing, reading, cartoons and the end of Tabula Rasa.

Up In the Conference Call

Michael — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:36:37 +0000

I’m just in a bit o’ this week’s Conference Call from GWJ; Rabbit and I tossed a few questions at Bethesda’s Pete Hines about storytelling. Watch the softball action!
