friendly differences
Anyway Games — So Darren and Brent have been catching some flack lately for saying they don't think too highly of WAR. Today, Darren asks why anyone cares? Well, here's an answer. It doesn't apply to all people, obviously. Some have a bone to pick with those two. But then there's friends. It's only natural to want to be able to share your joys with friends.

There is quite a bit to be said for these types of conferences and they are starting to grow on me for this one simple reason…and you’ve heard this before I’m sure: I get to hang out with “my people”. Sounds a bit weird saying that, but it is very true…and those who’ve experience this type of thing probably know what I’m talking about. Also, hanging out with Brent, ...

Listen to a couple episodes and you’ll know immediately if it’s for you or not). So on to the new list.

The State of LOTRO Podcasting
The Middle-Earth Adventurer — ... . Doing so sparked some thoughts, or rather resparked some thoughts, on LOTRO podcasting and podcasting in general.

The Ancient Gaming Noob — I hope I am not foreshadowing with that reference in the title.  Three seems to be under represented it literary titles once you begin to exclude things like  “Now I am Three.”  And even Bill Wordsworth can use a link now and again. It has been three years since I set out to start a record ...
