Episodes – Ventchat

A lot of show for you guys this week.  If you're looking for the place in the show where we got the title, it's from minute 94-104.  Turdhat also announced a contest in this show, listen for details.  We had great listener calls this week that sparked a lot of...discussion.  We talked about Blizzard winning a lawsuit against someone running a private server, and that got us talking about private servers in general.  We talked about long socks versus short socks, consoles, favorite vanilla instance, and a million other things.  Discussion topic was worst thing you spent money on, and we also had a new song.  In the aftershow we talked late-night with fan Smokingkillz, who served 4 years on a Nuclear Submarine.  Fen asked him everything you could think of about his job.  4+ hours of show, and you WILL laugh.  Enjoy.

We attempted to tell all of the user submitted (and our own) jokes this week....poorly.  The laugh track started to help, but Turdhat proclaimed at one point during the show that Fen's voice is like damage over time, and all hope was lost.  We had plenty of phone calls, and also in the news we went over how much profit Blizzard made this last quarter....and how there are no new raids planned until Cataclysm.  The profit numbers compared to their costs will stagger you.

If you haven't guessed already, I'll leave you guessing about the show title.  Let's just say once you get to the part of the show where the title is from, later on it actually gets even better.  We talked a lot about the internet when we we're kids, or in some cases lack of it.  We talked a little bit about strategy on a few different WoW encounters, some listener calls, and we found out what cool stuff our listeners have done with our discussion topic.  You're either going to laugh at this episode or you'll be disgusted, as usual.  Enjoy.

This week Draechen, half the duo of Draechen and Jeg from Dregcast joins us.  First off we recapped the epic 7+ hour show from last week.  We had positive and negative thoughts and reviews about not only recording a show that long, but also the content, and we talked about everyone's reactions.  We got into viewer calls and emails, and had an interesting call from Jeg about Draechen.  We discussed some impressive "most embarrassing moments" from listeners and ourselves, and somehow we also talked quite a bit about Sauce's disembodied head.  We managed to keep this one to under 3 hours, so join us won't you? Music from this week's show: Butterfly Tea:  Feeries 2010 - Soundtrack, Asian Wonders Syntharmony:  I shall remain alone, I shall remain alone Dydjej_Inja:  Jazzyk (Fourth Day Of The Condor)

If you want to find out what the show title means this week, you'll have to make it to roughly the 3 hour mark. Look at how long this show is! We know! A listener (Macgruff) who is getting shipped out this week asked for one long last super-show before he heads off for an "undisclosed location". Well...beware of what you wish for...because this is the longest show ever. WoW news, a "play" from Sauce, an incredible song from Jeg of Dregcast, listener calls, and we talk about all of our phobias. On top of all that it was Fen's birthday, so he was "celebrating". The show itself is probably a couple of hours...Wait until you hear the aftershow. Two lovely ladies, Forresst and Arcy join us for a rip-roaring flirtatious sexy good time. We talked to Forrest about her days as a Psychic Phone Friend, a Sex Phone Operator, and an Armored Car Tech (and she wrote a musical!). Nearly too much fun to fit in one show but we pulled it off. Enjoy. Music from this week's show: Dustaman - Focus On Trifle: Typing PeerGynt Lobogris - Bluemoon V Forgotten Spirits: 15 Years PeerGynt Lobogris - Bluemoon V Forgotten Spirits: Wild Side

For whatever reason this episode we talked about Esta quite a bit.  We found out he has a beard and we were fascinated by this.  We had 15 calls from one person, and though we didn't play all of them many were interesting.  Turdhat had chiggers apparently, Sauce has a contest going to recommend a back tattoo for him, and there were attempts to get Esta to snap.  We hit some WoW news including the Developer Twitter and the new guild leveling perks.  Join us and listen to the other 37 things we talk about.

Well of course we talked about Real ID this week, and what a mess it all turned out to be.  We also talked a little about the talent tree changes.  Turdhat joined us from the get-go, and a little bit of the aftershow was clipped into the start of the podcast to give you a taste of what you're missing.

Oh boy.  This is longest show we've ever uploaded.  We started off the show with revealing the Turdhat soundboard.  Shortly AFTER...Turdhat joined us live.  We had great calls again from listeners,  PLUS we had a recorded Turdhat segment WITH Turdhat there.  We ended up with a pretty long show, and then we went into the aftershow...The aftershow ended up making us laugh so hard we had to leave it in.

We had a ton of FANTASTIC calls this week from listeners that left us rolling.  A story from Sauce at the top of the show nearly left Fen dead from laughing so hard.  Also, Forresst is running an event with prizes on her server, you can find out more about that at the top of the show.  We got back into heroic 10s this week, along with a little bit of 25s.  The servers also took a BIG crap on everyone this week due to 3.3.5.  We had no Turdhat live, but he called in and we played what he had to say.  Out discussion topic this week was a little controversial and got a lot of response.

We did an hour and a half of show for the podcast, and a total of 7 hours of show for the chatroom.  No joke.  You should check in on when we go live, it's pretty fun.  So this week we talked a little about our raiding this week, and we're filling raids which is great.  We also had a few epic phone calls, and we talked with Turdhat about quite a few topics.  Fen had a bad experience with Taquitos and Turdhat claimed it was a half an hour story and told Fen he talks to much.  There were a few big news items this week, then later we got to the discussion topic.  Again, after the show, the "show" went on for about 4 hours.  Some of us were live on Ustream until dawn of the next day.

We're considering some show changes, nothing for sure but some possibilities.  I think they would be positive, I think they would give you guys some things you've asked me about, but we want you guys to tell us what you think on the forums.  Before you make any judgments, listen to this episode and what we're considering, then post in the discussion topic.  We also hit some WoW news, there's some Turdhat stuff, and Sauce also talks about danglers.

Where to begin.  Well we had a couple of interesting news items this week, some great listener calls....and oh yes, a little story from Turdhat that explains our title.  Thanks Turdhat for bringing yourself to tell this story, because it made our day.  I think you will enjoy it too.  We also have quite a bit of other stuff we cover in this show, but after you hear the story, I think you'll agree everything else doesn't matter much.
