Episode 35: Back from NYCC




Corellian Run Radio show

Summary: We’ve already talked about New York Comic Con on the <a href="http://torwars.com/2011/10/16/torwars-unpodcast-roundtable-discussion-live-from-nycc/">TORWars</a> and <a href="http://moseisleyradio.com/2011/10/20/mer-episode-54-that-other-comic-con/">Mos Eisley Radio</a> podcasts, but we still manage to find a few topics that we didn’t cover. We are joined by Virtek (Damien) from <a href="http://torsyndicate.com/" target="_blank">TORSyndicate</a> and <a href="http://www.guildumbra.com/" target="_blank">Guild Umbra</a> to get his NYCC impressions and later by our very own Jason Taylor to discuss Dark/Light impact on gameplay. We also can’t help talking about the new Kung Fu Panda expac.<br> <br> More Show Notes, all NYCC coverage, and Comments after the jump.<br> <br> FACT OR FICTION: Can you pick out the confirmed fact from the tall tales? This week’s challenge concerns Dark side corruption, species/class combos, dungeon finders.
