    Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be burying my head in a bunch of work for the rest of the month and unable to publish any blog posts/videos/or podcasts.  But, before I did, I wanted to put out something for you guys to check out while I'm busy.  Recently, I've become a much bigger fan of TableTop gaming, specifically board games and card games.  Ever since, I've had this big desire to put out a podcast where I can talk about these things, but I wasn't able to figure out how I wanted to do it.

    Until Now.

    What you've got before you now, is a *very* rough idea of what I want to do for this podcast.  I don't have any titles or album art yet, so this is just a barebones pilot episode for me to get some feedback from you guys on how to create this podcast.

    In this episode - I introduce myself and give a brief history of my gaming experiences, talk a bit about what I want to do on this podcast, and then go into a review of Wizard of the Coast's latest D&D reprint: the 3.5 Rule Supplement "Magic Item Compendium".

    Question of the Week - A question that I'd like answered by you guys and will read responses on my next episodes (for now, email them to [email protected], or comment on this episode).

    Relative Dimensions #36: "Android: Netrunner Playthrough"

    It's a bit of a long show this week, but Philip and I have been chomping at the bit to try out Android: Netrunner.  It's a two player cyber-punk card game developed by the same person who created Magic: The Gathering.  So sit back and enjoy us fumbling over ourselves and trying to figure out this game.

    Relative Dimensions #35: "We're Bringing It Back Now, Geek Talk Style"

    That's right - we thought the show we getting kind of stale just talking about games, so we took our current format and threw it out the window!  If you've been listening since the beginning I intended Relative Dimensions to be a general "Geek Talk Radio" type show, and that's the style that we are going back to.  We are currently coming up with new ideas for the show, so if you've got an idea then send it to us!

    Lots of news this week, unlike our last show, as the gaming industry is storming into E3.  We talk about the WoW film, Diablo 3 on consoles, and BlizzSteam....I mean the Battle.net game launcher.

    Relative Dimensions #33: "Achievement Unlocked - Two Shows In A Row!"

    That's right, we are on a roll towards having a regular show each week.  Don't be too impressed though, as its a short show - not that much news worth talking about this week, plus Chris' computer did not want to capture any video so the second half of the show that was supposed to be dedicated to showing off Star Trek Online was thrown out.  We'll get the kinks worked out though.

    Relative Dimensions #32: "Remembering Our Troops....And How To Podcast"

    Like trying to restart any good habit, Philip and I were struggling to start podcasting again - but we recorded one this week! Being Memorial Day, we remember our troops, and then move right in to talk about the awesome things that we've done over the past month or so. I've tried a couple of new MMO's, restarted playing others, while Philip's been enjoying him some Romulans in Star Trek Online. Oh, and Xbox One?
