Tune in to check out the second recording done on Friday the 13th, with Thurbs and a rag tag crew of miscreants actually talking about Guild Wars 2 for about an hour and a half.

The mid-year dryspell continues so we chat about what old games we've been playing to pass the time including Guild Wars 2, Project Reality, Might and Magic, Saints Row, and more. However, at the end of the show we delve into Bioshock Infinite's new DLC and future plans because they sound incredibly interesting. Of course, that's all sprinkled with a decent dose of off-topic including hauntings, arcade cabinets and 3DS Adventures.Music: "Narumi Detective Agency" by ATLUSxP5Featured Members: Thurbleton,selfconfessedcynic,No0b0rAmA, Shinboy630Run time: 02:04:05Project Reality (the Battlefield 2 mod) Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes (on pretty much every platform out there)Check out our twitch streams attwitch.tv/shinboy630and/thurbleton(the latter is where you'll find our weekly stream)Stay tuned on theGiant Bomb storefor Ryan Davis memorial stuff to help out his family (currently pulled due to logistical issues)

It's a pretty dry week so in this off-topic episode we talk about guns, movies (spoiler-free Wolverine and The Conjuring talk), and maybe even some video games. I'm pretty sure we talk about games at SOME point.Music: "Narumi Detective Agency" by ATLUSxP5Featured Members: selfconfessedcynic, Thurbleton, Dourin, SquidelRun time: 02:55:25Stay tuned on theGiant Bomb storefor Ryan Davis memorial stuff to help out his family (currently pulled due to logistical issues)Check out our twitch streams attwitch.tv/dourinand/thurbleton

Almost as if we were making up for lost time, the vast majority of this episode actually involves Guild Wars 2. We temporarily return to our old format of mixing in off topic between GW2 topics, so tune in to hear all our thoughts on Colin's massive "Looking Ahead" post and the various things it touches upon combined with ruminations on Steam Cards, Deus Ex: The Fall, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Torchlight 2, and more.Music: "Super Adventure Box: Main Theme" byMaclaine Diemer Leif ChappelleFeatured Members:Thurbleton, Dourin, Squiddel andselfconfessedcynicRun time:02:31:04Topics for the week:The whole episode is pretty much dedicated to Colin's Looking Ahead post.We talk about almost everything in it.

(GW2 talk runs till 58mins) It's episode 50!! We needed to set the time aside at the top to talk about Ryan Davis (well, I let the others do the talking), but aside from that, we do manage to talk about GW2 a bit in the first half. Mainly it's to do with the cool new updates, announcements about a 2-week new-content cycle, etc. Then we vent about Pacific rim before hitting the meat of the show with that previously-announced special gameshow segment, hosted by Noob.Music:"Are you ready for a miracle" by Patti LaBelle,"Super Adventure Box: Main Theme" byMaclaine Diemer Leif ChappelleFeatured Members:selfconfessedcynic,Thurbleton, No0b0rAmA, Dourin, Squiddel and shinboy630Run time: 02:44:16Topics for the week:We dedicate this episode to Ryan Davis and talk about our feelings on the matterGW2 is going to get 2 week updatesBazaar is an awesome update.Pacific Rim (with minimal spoilers even though we do a spoiler warning)The game show!
