After playing Star Trek Online for nearly three weeks Rik & Mat have unlocked the ability to record a podcast on Deep Space Nine. They also talk to Gaming Bob about playing games and Developer Dave about designing them!

Arts and life discussion. This show may contain strong language and adult themes.

Show Notes:

Rik & Mat showcase their favourite show from the past twelve months – the wonderful “Replacement Show” by Jack Ward at the The Sonic Society

Also – Sat-Navs, stand-ups, movies, and we try to argue about Ricky Gervais (and celebrity podcasts) but we’re not sure if we care enough to be truly contentious.

Well, isn’t this interesting? A blog/social network courtesy of the wonderful people at Wordpress. This software is under development – just like the community site we’ve created with it – so please help us test things out by creating an account and playing around with the various features.

We think BuddyPress is going to be really useful for communities across the web. Help us see what’s possible at the Vexation Audio Community site.

We’ve been listening to some Final Rune shows at VA and were impressed by what we’ve heard! The first show we listened to Day Of The Dead gripped us straight away. An engaging story of a young man travelling to New Orleans in search of his wayward girlfriend; there is a depth and colour to the production that sets the show appart from the crowd.

Go listen!

Talented author and funny guy Adam Perrott has been making Mat and me laugh out loud (or “LOL” – if you’re an idiot). Could this man be the next guest on The Nothing Chronicle? Mat has been dispatched to hunt him down for an interview. And incase we do get him you should definately read his new book Eerie Dierdrie Darkly which has been getting rave reviews all across the interwebs!

The Goblin tells it like it is.

We’re happy that Brent over at VirginWorlds has added us to his rolling podcast feed. You can checkout many other great podcasts through Virginworlds HERE

But the main focus of Virginworlds are the members of the Collective. There are literally hundreds of hours of game related chat for your listening pleasure – some of my personal favourites include Shut Up We’re Talking, Equal Perspectives, and of course the original Virginworlds MMORPG News

Mat has been to the shop to buy more rubbish games he’ll never play while Rik has got him playing Star Trek Online by virtue of the Hailing Frequency competition (Rik won the prize of a Deluxe Edition, gave it to Mat, and watched him totally ignore all the bonus goodies – and he’s really annoyed about it – but hasn’t said anything).

We mess about in game and give our impressions. We also try to explore (ie; go somewhere without a mission!) Does the game support this radical concept? Listen in to find out!

Arts and life discussion.
