This week we’re chatting about what we’ve been playing, starting with taking the unpopular position and having a go at LOTRO after our last few Mondays playing through the books, and then move on to talking about Guild Wars, City of Heroes, Dungeons and Dragons Online and then a rather too glowing look at Borderlands. Jon then explains why he’s not that happy with Dragon Age: Origins and loses all of our listeners.
