Welcome to episode #314 of the the podcast celebrating you, the Alea Iacta Est gaming community, the die has been podcast. This is Host Mkallah To my left is Mewkow - (catch phrase here). And to my right well, no one- Tet has the flu and does not have enough of a voice to talk on the show this evening. This week we are joined by special guests Dankinia who is here to talk to us about AIE in ESO Welcome!
Tetsemi’s week (since he has no voice) - Got in FFXIV, playing an archer, at level 24 with various professions as well, very fun so far, good story and entertaining combat.
Bought Anthem and playing the heck out of it while recovering from the flu (would not recommend, the flu. Anthem is great). Level 14 playing the Colossus (tank mech, go figure) and did my first Stronghold. Was super fun and helped me figure out what all my key bindings actually do.
Ok, we’ll be digging into ESO shortly, but first, let’s cover this week’s news...

Anthem
We have quite a few folks playing on the PC, with at least one on XBox and one of PS4. Durus has pinned a list of Origin names at the top of the #anthem channel in AIE Discord. The top 5 contributors on your friends list award you extra XP based on you Alliance ranking which goes up every time you complete a mission and will get your gold to spend in the vanity shops. Hop on in, it’s a fun game. If you just want to try it out, you can purchase the one month Origin access and unlock it and a lot of other Origin games while your sub is active.
WoW
Big shout out to the people at Blizzard doing the hard work to make this game right now and to all the folks that got laid off after the Tuesday earnings call. The gaming industry as a whole seems to be very much in flux right now and job stability isn’t really there for a lot of hard working folks putting everything they can into making the games we love.
