Oh my gosh, the mosaic is done. I thought we’d never see that day! Where have i been? But there’s no way that was really Al Gore.

The psychological impact of playing video games has been studied for decades, but only recently has the audience began to catch on to the complexities of what encourages them to buy a game, or play a game into the wee hours of the night, or pre-order the next game.
About “psychological impact of playing video games”, I must say from my own experience, that playing especially RPG games made me quite addicted. I remember
playing Baldur’s Gate for hours (man this game is still awsome), I couldn’t get away from my PC. But, thank God, I learned to control this obsessive feeling “that I have to play”!!!. But today, I would say, with all these mmorpg games, especially WoW, it doesn’t get any easier for people.
Thanks and play wisely

Yes I agree, (MMO)RPG games are real time thief.

Whoo hoo!
Getting ready to listen to the show (since I couldn’t stay awake for the live BOOO me)

The last couple weeks I haven’t paid attention to the mosaic. And I love hearing (from you) that it’s finished!

I submitted a pic (Eiseria)

Be well!

Was that really Al Gore?? It sounded just like him. I wouldn’t be asking, but he called Schilling a “drunk ass bastard” which didn’t sound all Al Gore-like to me, haha. Anyways, great show as always, lads.

The fan submissions at the end (following Darrel and Buxley) are usually worth skipping. One regular submission is so bad it really deserves calling out: the dude “Eldrick the Bear Tank” has a 5 second loop of music playing during his *entire* submission. The repeating loop sounds like a skipping record and it gets so annoying after 30 seconds I just have to skip past his whole submission. Why do people feel compelled to put background music on their submissions? Scott and Randy don’t have a soundtrack playing for their podcast – just a quick intro tune and even that’s completely unnecessary.

So talking about statistics and how video games and wow has hooked us. I wonder where the other end of that survey is. What is the point, when we haven’t won or even seen a desired drop, that we give up. The green drake for instance. Yes, I know others have gotten it. Meanwhile I get tickbird after tickbird. Early on I was gun-ho on making sure I opened and bought my eggs. Now couldn’t really care when I pick up another egg because its not gonna be a Proto drake anyway. Its worse in raids! Not only do you have to hold out hope that your piece of Armor drops, but then you have to pray that you win the roll. How many times do you not see your drop, lose the roll, before you get disheartend. …And the battered Hilt!!! GAWD, I really felt that the battered hilt would change my game for the better. OH, to bad the drop rate is horrible, and any that do fall sell on the AH for 10k or more.
