Van Hemlock Episode 46

We’re back with some news, a topic and some of the worse incidental music you’ll ever hear. Or the best, depending on your point of view.

This week our topic is the Daedalus Project (http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/), which for many years has been an amazing study on MMO players but is now sadly in hibernation.

Van Hemlock Episode 44

We’re back and this week we’re being buried under the weight of daft news stories as well as having a nice long discussion about Eve. What is it, and what would a fantasy game have to be in order to be The Fantasy Eve?

Van Hemlock Episode 43

Van Hemlock Episode 42

This week it’s our first anniversary! We celebrate with more of the same news, a twitter question and then some of the highlights from our last year that you may have missed. Jon even gets annoyed at Darkfall, what’s not to like?

Sorry, I mean to say make a higher place on the featured list so that more listeners can discover us.

Van Hemlock Episode 39

This week we’re back with a look at the last weeks news and a recap of what we’ve been playing for the last few weeks. Amazingly Jon has been playing MMOs more than console games, which must be one of the signs of the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

As usual you can leave reviews on iTunes, follow us on twitter as @jonshute and @vanhemlock or read our blogs over at www.vanhemlock.com and www.chimpsinspace.com. Or you can just enjoy the show.
