(Best show intro ever so far) Just starting the "serious bit"
You're so easy to please, Esa....
Have to admit, it was pretty fun to record when we stopped caring about being professional and prolific. Now I want to record more, lol. Feels like the way we used to do the old show. I think I'm going to start moving the edit back in that direction too.
I think the show is still awesome. To quote Martin Short " if you've lost anything, it's minimal." seriously the show is as entertaining as ever. Maybe the downturn is that it's steering away from Warcraft. Either that or a downturn in WoW in general. More effort, less, the show is still funny as hell and you still have a listener here...regardless of the fact that I wasn't directly mentioned.

Ha! That's assuming we actually had any names written down to pick from - I just pulled them out of the top of my head. Feel lucky you didn't get singled out. The ones who did are bad, and we talk crap about each of them.
@beatlejuice Yeah man they are all sooo bitchy, you're much better off not being associated with people like them :P
You're so easy to please, Esa.... :)
Reasonably ;) but seriously. Whilst I have enjoyed the previous shows of this season. (this is about 100% fun TC only here) I have not enjoyed it as much as the previous seasons. This show brings back that enjoyment!
I love even more the fact you guys are relaxed!! I enjoy the fact I can listen and know you guys had fun too!
Listening now, too many times have you made me laugh out loud on the train and got looks, but was I swayed to be quiet? Not one bit >:)
Nice show, it is serious, but not everything has to be comedy, thanks for delivering something that was not only fun at the beggining but quite nice to listen to
Up to date with current situations too, that is good too :) It is absolutely awful what is happening over in Japan.
These guys in the plant are knowingly killing themselves to solve/save this situation in Fukushima, I was reading the metro today 'Uk's daily newspaper picked up from the tube' and
Comparing it to the sun etc, they are literally saying 'We know we will die, but it is our job, and we have to do what we have to do', yes guys, i would easily say they are heroes.
It is sad, but seeing how the Japanese are dealing with this instills me with a sense of strength! Knowing that even in the worst they stick together and risk everything to make
safe speaks volumes to the rest of the world.
Here: This is what we get, news wise from Japan: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12773350
Now I want to record more, lol
!!!!!
We're all going to hold that to you :)
This made my long day of waiting for my paypal money transfer less dreadful.
I was listening to Reborn Episode 1 thinking to myself, "Is there anyway I can pitch in and help the TC crew?" So I still distribute 'flyers'(paper cut outs essentially :D), but how else can I, and the rest of the TC community contribute?
Feedback on the flyers, by the way- I stuck a bunch of them around my college campus, but from my limited knowledge of marketing, I think they would be more effective if they said more about the content of the show.

Completely agree. Was going to recreate one that did that, but never got round to it. I can do so if you wish?
There's probably a million things we could do - and probably a million better ways to go about doing them than we have already done - so if you have something that you want to do, and care enough to take the time to do it - go on with your bad self - just share the results, because maybe it will be brilliant and all the rest of us can pick it up and run with it.
On the NotebookReview.com forum my sig is simply:
Listen to Taverncast! The funniest show on the interwebs about gaming, movies, beer, and politics!
The taverncast part is a link, obviously.
Off topic, is the pod people guild still alive? I want to transfer
I'll try and get something done on Sunday, even if its just an outline I'll share it :)
And I'd be willing to bet money the pod people is still alive!

---Gah, screw the refresh button! Erased my whole previous post---
I managed to get a hold of a computer and finally listen to the episode. I totally agree with what you guys are saying about returning to your roots. It was funny and natural. I love the new episodes just as much but they were very ordered and scripted.
So in regards to the actual content of the show...
Think back to the Hurricane Katrina disaster. There was a ridiculous amount of looting and the relief efforts took their sweet time responding. I feel for the people who experienced that horrible event, but it is nowhere near the scale of the current Japan disaster. The effects of the tsunami/earthquake will be felt worldwide and the world is responding as such. The Japanese play a huge role in the worlds technology and economic departments. Their current losses are astronomical and still their is not a definite end in sight. But their people are sticking to their roots and respecting one another. The lack of looting, appreciation for aid, and responsiveness to the cleanup efforts are an example to rest of the world. They aren't the only international event in need of aid, but I for one would rather help the Japanese than the situation in Libya.

Necrith - did you just try and leave us a voicemail on Skype in the last 24 hours?

Notice the reverb :P
LOL - I swear I heard the kids totally shut up when you did that. They were probably like WTF?
Hey - just so you know, we'll play or at least reference all of these on the show - but it will take a couple to get there - the next one coming out is a show we recorded a month ago, so there's some backdating going on.
My Uni halls are in a massive court, and a reasonable number of people will be around. I'll poss do it Wednesday!
