It’s been three long weeks since our last podcast – great to be back!  Anything from more than a week ago gets the Quick Mentions treatment so we can dig into the meaty stuff like debating digital downloads and what we expect from raids.  We’re trying a new sound editing set up which, unfortunately, resulted in some static.  A thousand apologies plus a thousand promises to fix that before our next ‘cast.

FACT OR FICTION: Can you pick out the confirmed fact from the tall tales?  This week’s host challenge involves macros, vehicles, and stealth.
