Pod-o, Blog-o, Blah Blah Blah

One interesting bonus of jumping back into Age of Conan has been the connection I’ve been able to make with some of my favorite podcasters and bloggers.

Mark and Noah from Channel Massive decided to give AoC a try after hearing about some of the changes that Funcom has implemented recently. I jumped at the chance to invite them over to the Set server to group up and “By Crom” it up a little. It looks as though they are liking the improvements to the game as much as I am.

If you’ve never listened to their podcast, I’d highly recommend it. They’ve recently taken the leap from a strictly MMO focused affair to a general video game podcast. One of the most interesting segments that they have is called “Blog-o-steria”, it pretty much consists of that weeks most butt knuckle crazy blog post. Be it a tantrum, or the rantings of an oblivious know-it-all. They are working on their 100th episode at the moment. Quite an achievement for a podcast.

Another interesting person that I’ve run into, thanks to twitter, is a blogger by the name of Openedge1.
I’ve just recentlystarted following Openedge1′s blog for awhile. It’s always a good place to find out what’s happening in the world of AoC. He enjoys the heck out of the game, but doesn’t forget that some parts still need some major overhauling. For some reason though, he takes a ton of flak from people on the forums!

Openedge1 plays with his family.  His wife and son, hop around the world of Hyboria, having a go at bustin’ some faces. Joining into a group like that is really refreshing, and I feel lucky to be able to interact with them. It’s really made AoC that much more enjoyable. His wife = super funny. His son = super polite.
Well off to play the Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo, just thought it important to post what good friends I’m making while purifying the unbelievers.
