My review of WebcamMax…what I use for VGTV!

Lately I have been experimenting with “VGTV”..basically a streaming video of my desktop. Players can watch me play Vanguard, or can watch me draw or do my work. Overall, it has drawn a good deal of viewers, or at least a decent enough stream of viewers.

Vanguard Community Podcast #1!

Hey everyone!

Download here.

Listen to this new Community Interview, featuring Jonquin and Seidian from my NEW guild, Ancient Valor! I am going to be doing these lil mini-cast at least once a week, or maybe more. I want to get the community interviewed more, but don’t want to put out even more space-hogging podcasts on Virginworlds delicate server!

So, I will host this myself. If you know a community member that you want interviewed, let me know. Send me an email and I’ll get em on the show! I want this to be a frequently updated, separate podcast from the “regular” podcast, so let’s get to work!

Vanguard versus Ryzom: does “hardcore” work?

Sorry for the wall of text.

Over the last couple of years I have played the MMO Ryzom. It has closed and re-opened 3 times now, and every time the same players return, along with some fresh faces.

I did a podcast for the game, much like the one I do now, although with less listeners. I am playing it again, will play it more, and will probably pick up the podcast again as well.

Let’s see how Ryzom is essentially “hardcore.” (For the sake of argument, it will be allowed to mean “harder.” )

More new siggys!

I love doing signature drawings for people. I am not good at coloring, and generally want to keep them black and white, but I use photoshop to color and always keep a black and white large version.

I will start doing more for people, up until now it is free. I would like to charge something for future siggys/art, being that I am doing a lot nowadays.

If anyone is interested in this or character art, let me know.

A few new ones:

This one is still being tweaked, I cannot get the smoke right:

The Trial is Here!

Go get it. Make a Raki. They are cool. I am a Raki. But yet, I’m not that cool. Still…

The highlight from show 55!:

* Me and Faeran of VGwalkthroughs talk all about GU6! We giggle like schoolgirls, he says poo like, 56 times, and overall we have a good time discussing our favorite game, World of Warcraft.
Aaaahhh see there? I keed. I mean Vanguard, noob.

The beginning clip is from “Steel Magnolias“, my favorite chick flick next to “Bridges of Madison County.” I have always had a crush on Sally Field. If you laugh at this point, then you don’t understand. An amazing actress, cute as a button, and can clearly portray all 7 stages of grief. Or 9 stages…whatever.

The music is from the movie “Once.” A good lil movie about musicians. Won Oscars and stuff.

VoV ep. 54: “You’re not hardcore, you just play too much!”
