Recent talks with Eskil....
The no-lag patch is out. Simply download and replace your old client from here. There is no bin update for this patch, but a new zip will be released with the new exe soon enough (check twitter updates for this). The recent fixes to both server and client include reduced latency, less server lag (the ai work SOOO much better), and everything feels a lot smoother.

It was exciting to finally have a real battle with some blue AI. They used Slug Rifles!!! for the first time in forever. Everything felt so right tonight. Rebalanced difficulties seemed spot on (no more insta-death Artillery shots). Progress has been restored (for all you grinders.....) and things seemed more fun all around. I asked Eskil about the flower+flower combination and he said, "I'll look in to that."

After much laughter and funny banter about uncommonly interesting server-side crap, Eskil asked if I'd "figured out the windmills yet?" Being my usual self, I assuaged his question with an "oh yeah! The wind explosive constantly going off next to the windmill for constant increased power output......" but that wasn't it. There's something ELSE. Then Eskil creeped around up there for a bit with things like "I don't want to spoil it....." and crap. Just as he was about to give us a hint, his internet started crapping out (LIKELY STORY) and I heard something like: "--ndmill rever--- ..... I'll just type it for you." Can you guess what he said?

...

Absolutely nothing. He dropped from the teamspeak channel. The End.

But really, I want to know. I want to make another podcast soon now that Love is interesting and all, so hang out on teamspeak. In the meantime, leave me some comments on what you think is up with the Windmills. Things are getting hot again.

Welcome to the fourth edition of the Love in Verses podcast, it has taken a little while to get this one out (it was recorded on the weekend of Avails' initial alpha release). Speculation of what Avail will comprise of, and some feature fantasies are the main discussion of this episode.

Be sure to subscribe to the podcast. Don't forget, you can download it directly or simply stay a while, and listen:

This episode stars Samakon, Eskil, Genubon, Debri, Rastabon and Pleion. and has a duration of 27 minutes.

Intro music: Incubus - Love Hurts
Outro music: The White Stripes - You Don’t Know What Love Is (You Just Do What You're Told)

So, Avail alpha is out and its time that we revive the to do page once again. Verses might need to be re-jiggered to cope with the new things that have been introduced.

Happy wiki updating, a new podcast is on its way.

Hey everyone. We need to talk some real shit. Old Man Rastabon has decided that our site should be a little bit more serious, and a little less Monitor Lizard links. Rest assured, the Monitor Lizard page will remain on the site here, it just won't be linked as much. Feel free to visit it as often as you like! This will be the last news post containing a direct link to the Monitor Lizard page. To make up for the loss I give you one token of solace:

PS, be sure to subscribe to the PODCAST for some good discussions on Love with Eskil that don't contain any references to Monitor Lizards.

5:30 PM GMT. It's all on Feneer now. Anyone in the UK should feel obligated to go. Be sure to bring a themed gift!

I really want to get the second podcast recorded. Anyone who wants to be involved should get on teamspeak. We'll set up a time soon. I'm hoping to discuss at least SOME of the following: Matter, bug fixes that we need to report/remind eskil of, the Love meet-up in London, some E3 news(maybe), some LiV stuff, and possible applications for an ever-wanted love-server-API, . whew. We can also discuss anything that you guys would like as well. We also need to set up a community feedback form like twitter questions on real podcasts. Hopefully we can get enough co-stars to get the second show recorded, as well as Eskil, tonight(6/17/2010 normal American time). E3 will be over, and he'll have no excuse but to join us/fix his game.

A few things thought up with Feneer:

• AntiMatter Possibilities. Extreme rarity and single use mixxing-with powerful effects (chaff+antimatter=a bomb pod, cable+antimatter=hookshot pod, etc.)
• Other Matter possibilities (Molotov Pod=Jar+gas+heating)
• Power Reflector Limits. (raise it?)
• Matter Mixer? I want detailed instruction on the interface and how everything is going to work. pronto. MUST MAKE WIKI ARTICLES
• .....

Feel free to leave your suggestions in comments, "a la" twitter question style :D
