On this episode of The AIE Podcast…

Ghomus tries to figure out how to do things on his own! And doesn’t do all that well!

Also, we have Grimbane and RattoZatto here to talk about the Secret World!

AIE NEWS

AIE EVE

The AIE in EVE Online gang will be holding a “Hunt Ourselves a Lanctharus” event. Tomorrow night, our...er...fearless leader will be flying around QETZ-W and while we all love Lanc, there has been a 100 MILLION ISK bounty put on his head. How can you not pass that up? A warning has been issued, that Lanc will most likely be shooting back. ;)

AIE Nomads

Thanks to Lotwook for sending us this update! They are finishing out their stay in STO with a Fleet Marks run. Which is running around earning Marks to help complete guild projects.  Saturday 9pm EDT. This Wednesday June 4th at 9pm EDT they are power leveling alts in Diablo 3. They are talking an average of 1 level per minute up to lvl 35-40 range. This is done via highest level of torment which gives 16 x XP and a level 70 in the group. (I know it sounds exploity, but is well within Blizzards design and after level 40 there is a steep slow down in XP gains as mobs become much slower to kill for the lvl 70).  Starting June 6th they start their roam into Guild Wars 2. (as a note? this is NOT free to play, but a buy-once and don’t have to sub game)

 

AIE Wildstar

A server has been chosen for Wildstar’s headstart this weekend! For those who will be playing said game as it launches, look for AIE on the Stormtalon - PVE server, Exile side! We will of course be having the director and one of his officers next week right here on the show, but the launch happens sooner than that! Keep an eye on the forums for more information as things develop. http://wiki.aie-guild.org/index.php?title=Wildstar:Main_Page

AIE is all about social gaming, whether we’re playing MMOs, boardgames around a table, console gaming, really anything!  And sometimes you might just want to sit and WATCH someone play a game that you know. Well Durus set up a thread here where if people are streaming, they can list who they are and a link to such!  Twitch seems to be rather quickly becoming the norm for these sorts of things, but there are all kinds of options!

Normally we don’t like to talk up too many Kickstarters because we don’t want this to just become a place people get sick of hearing about them, but making an exception for this one. SURELY most people in AIE have either watched Reading Rainbow, or have kids that did! LeVar Burton and company are bringing it back, and they need your help! The drive is going great thus far, but let’s see how high this one can go, bringing services to many schools in need! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/readingrainbow/bring-reading-rainbow-back-for-every-child-everywh  This funded in less than 13 hours, but more money won’t hurt a thing!

 

(Grimbane and Ghomus are already backers!)

GAME NEWS

[Redacted]  No Tokyo in May (The Dragon are to blame, even if it’s a Templar plot, financed by the Illuminati).

 

According to the Quarter 1 Financial report, it is coming out early June (Pyramidian willing), as well as other interesting bits of information about how well The Secret World is (or isn’t) doing financially, and as far as content is concerned.  Also, additional Funcom work is revealed about the new Lego Game, and future tablet and smartphone apps.  Also, Japanese male and female school uniforms coming in The Secret World, kind of, sort of, more closer to otaku style.
