Summary: We have a new guildie of the moment, another TF2 night, news about DragonCon, and we talk to a couple of RIFTers!  All that and more coming up right now. THIS is the AIE Podcast...NERDTACULAR ROUNDUP! AIE NEWS  Believe it or not we have a new guildie of the moment! Everyone please give a big AIE congrats to Atriana! Some of the amazing things said about her are:* She explains things, then helps you understand it, then tells you how to get it.  Without effort.  Very nice and helpful guildie.* That bottle at the grocery store that's labeled 'win'? That's filled with Atriana.* The level of her awesomeness has no cap.Send your congratulations to her in game or hit up the thread on the forums. Showda and Trumble on the forums wish to announce their new arrival: Baby T! Though they are understandably not in game much, they wish their friends well and hope their online friends understand. Well we not only understand but wish you and the new baby well! Check the thread âbaby trumble (http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/45981-baby-trumble/)â for Sowdaâs good byes... for now. TF2 Thursdays are now on Tuesdays too (http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/45925-team-fortress-2uesdays-now-exists/)! No not the day, but the event! Because you asked for it! The new time seems to be pretty popular, with the server hitting near cap. Remember, Team Fortress 2 is available through Steam, and both are 100% free! So come get your TF2 on while listening to the AIE Podcast. Who knows, you might even see us there after the show!Itâs time for Ask an Officer: Ghomus edition! Your favorite Fluttershy impersonator is answering all your questions on the forums! Keep it clean folks, this is the AIE forums! (http://forum.myextralife.com/topic/46032-officer-corner-ghomus) And it was his birthday recently! :D not that that can influence your  questions...Nerdtacular updates on the Meetup.com site! Thatâs right, guidies have been updating the Meetup.com site with photos of Nerdtacular! So if you want to see AIE guildie specific pictures, or want another place to post the ones you took, head on over! A Meetup for DragonCon is up as well, so RSVP if you plan to attend. Speaking of DragonCon, plans are afoot to have some of the AIE officers lead a panel on Guild Management as part of the MMO track, so if youâre going to be there on Sunday night, weâd love to have you in the audience to show some AIE pride. Thereâs also going to be an MMO track party Saturday night, and the rumor is there will be free booze, so you can guess where weâll be.Salus update: The guild is level 24 and has only 35% of the level left to go! The guildâs 751 members will likely reach max level by the next podcast, but this doesnât mean that the guild is done! Far from it! There are still many fun achievements waiting to be completed, such as Crittergeddon and Stay Classy, so if you want to help achieve them, jump into AIELFO and talk to an officer.Also, a bit of a technical update here: Next week, The AIE Podcast will be testing out the use of Google Hangouts streamed live via YouTube, so if you want to see Alludraâs bright and shiny face, or laugh at how messy AcuZodâs living room is, feel free to join us at www.TheAIEPodcast.com.
