This week Axem and Nerion cover an issue which has been bothering our guild for some time, RP-FFA or FFA. Nerion is against going RP but Axem for some strange reason feels the need to let out his inner poet. Anyways, it is a fun debate. Also they covered a new AoC interview that has been released.

This episode we covered the differences and difficulties of multi-tasked larged scale guilds compared to the normal smaller single tasked one. By multi-tasked I mean guilds so large they must split their forces into multiple delegations and actually be doing multiple objectives at the same time. Also when I say large I mean 100+ people. This is a great episode if you are thinking about running a guild in any of the upcoming PvP games.

Heya guys, this week's episode we covered the G15 keyboards effect on gaming with other various macro programs. Afterwards we brought some guests on the show and tried to find out what people have been doing while waiting for the next wave of MMORPGs coming out. Thanks again guys for listening in. It's exciting to see how long we've kept it going and we hope to go another 20 with all of you.

On this episode a participant in the World Series of Gaming, at Sweden. He was a part of the WoW arena tourneys and we got all the info from him about the gig. For our deeper discussions, we talked about arena vs world pvp combat and the mindset of the best players in both fields. This really was an interesting discussion and if you don't listen to anything else at least hear out the part about what goes on in Axem's mind...

All I have to say is we talked about gaming addiction and EQWidows, don't miss this episode!!!

Hey everyone, this round we tackled our new MMO development section head on. Axem and I began laying down the cornerstones of the world we are making on the air, but along the way a couple disputes broke out over gear progression!

Thats right, The ESCape is back with an all new episode. This week, Al and Mike fly as a duo, as Steve is out sick... or is he just avoiding any episode number with a 9 in it?

- This week we will be discussing the long-awaited PSP sequel Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, the latest to hit the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII series. Keeping on topic with Final Fantasy, we take a look at the original 2001 theatrical release Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within movie, and find out why this once potential box office smash turned to being an official box office dud.

The ESCape is back... and with another live show. It started last week, it continues this week. The guys take a look at the Nintendo VS Sega war that took place from the late 80s to the early 90's. We take a look at both sides, the inception of Sonic, the "Blast Processing" scandal, how Nintendo could have been Playstation, why TG16 never took off in the USA, and we'll discuss the only system to have games that cost $200 a pop.
