Podcast Episode 2 – Attack of the Podcast
Posted by Rockjaw in MMO-related, Pimpin' on April 16th, 2008
I’m not here! I’m in a lovely hotel in Portland, Oregon, with free wifi. (Hotels of the World: wifi should always be free. It’s like hot and cold water now, people.)
But, if I was here, I’d want you to know that the second official podcast wot I did (with help, of course, from my guest Melissa ‘War Witch’ Bianco and the indispensable editing of Chris ‘Aero’ Siddall) is now available to listen to online, download, or even read. Whatever you like.
Also: it’ll be on iTunes soon. I promise.
By the way – here’s a little secret. We had so much material for Episode 2 that we’re jamming it into (effectively) an Episode 2.5, which will be out Soon. TM. I’ll let you know when.
Comments welcome as always!
MiniCon Day Four: Monday

The last day, or half-day to be precise – at least that’s what we planned. Things don’t always go according to plan though, do they…?
MiniCon Day Three: Sunday
Posted by Rockjaw in Day Today, MMO-related on April 7th, 2008
Day Three. Three. Three days. I’m telling you, writing this is almost the same as doing it all over again. Well, not quite.
The big difference between the Ultimate Heroic Weekend (MiniCon, same thing) and any other show we do was simply time. At most shows, we spend an entire day on the show floor, but then with a usually audible sigh of relief (or more likely, cheer of elation) we pack up and go out – or go home.
(The one exception is The Show To End All Shows; the Games Convention in Germany. It’s five days long. Proud monuments stand in the aisles of der Leipziger Messegelände, honoring the booth workers who have fallen there.)
At Omega Sektor though, while we did leave the venue, we never really left the show. So by Day Three… it was starting to wear us down a bit.
MiniCon Day Two: Saturday
Posted by Rockjaw in Day Today, MMO-related on March 31st, 2008
I warn you: this post is long. Like, epic long, Task Force long… long. So grab a drink, maybe some popcorn, sit back, relax… and hear the tale of the 2008 Omega Sektor MiniCon, Day Two: Saturday.
Wake up, Rockjaw
Saturday started bleary-eyed in bed, where I woke up at about 6AM with half a hangover and not enough sleep. Both were my own fault, so I couldn’t complain.
I remember lying there in bed savouring the quiet time before I knew I had to get up, when out of the blue, some part of my semi-awake consciousness asked me a question:
“Hey Stephen; can you remember the PIN number for the credit card machine?”
Instantaneous reply: no.
“But if you don’t know the PIN, how are people going to pay for stock, merchandise and/or make charity donations with their credit (and debit) cards, hmmm?”
My eyes snapped open. A cold sweat broke out. Great start to the day.
You said what?
