We decided that we are once again a FFXIV leaning podcast, but we still like to know what’s going on in other MMO’s. For the last two weeks, Peter and Quinton were streaming a little Guild Wars 2 in preparation for an interview with this week’s guest, Slothquueen! Enjoy this lighthearted chat with a new friend of the podcast! Going forward it WILL be required that on cam guests show us their prized desk trinkets. Be sure to follow Slothquueen in all the places!
