I wanted to make everyone aware of additional recordings of Balticon panels that Viv and I participated on.

You can check them out over […]

Here is the spectacle of the MulletCast – that’s right: business up front, party in the back!! This is primarily a feedback episode, but we did manage to get in new information about i14 and how Mission Architect will work as well as a few other news (ahem) nuggets. The episode ended up being so […]

We present to you, our new record holder – 3 hours and 12 minutes… It had to be done.. As of the recording time, we were all caught up on feedback. Not so much any more, but close 🙂 Though mostly feedback, in the ep we do present some news up front, and some fluffy […]

I’m dropping in an episode from our other podcast Into The Blender rather than record separate Balticon wrap-ups. Normally on Into The Blender we talk about family life bringing together our kids from previous marriages and all of the chaos that ensues. This one doesn’t have any of that mushy stuff, so don’t worry 🙂 […]
Its too late for clever.. here are the patch notes 🙂 It clearly WAS too late for clever last night, as I attached episode 24 again!! So sorry for those who jumped right in and downloaded the new episode, only to find a repeat. This post has the correct attachment – Episode 25! This week […]

This means that all accounts that were a prior retail account (as in they were a subscriber not a free trial) will be reactivated during the following window: […]
Get comfy, heroes. It’s a long one… We ended up with a show chock full of news and comments, but didn’t want to postpone the Intro to Bases further, so you gets the whole jumbo sized episode in one shot! This time we discuss: News NCSoft and Vivox Announce Collaboration Exclusive Video Look at the […]
Today we bring you a mish-mash episode of news recorded the Sunday before we did the interview and news recorded this weekend. In addition we had comments from both weeks as well. We had planned on this being a featurecast, but there was just so much other content that we’re going to save the feature […]
Last post about the interview, I promise 🙂 We’ve noticed that some people with spotty Internet connections are having a difficult time downloading the episode. To try and alleviate this, I just exported the show at a lower bitrate. This means that the sound quality won’t be as good, but the file will be much […]
As you can tell from our previous comments, we were quite excited to get on the phone with Joe! So I’m hastily posting the episode, and will take the time to write proper show notes over the next few days 🙂 Of course we talk about some i11 stuff, i12, lots about NCSoft and writing. […]
We have two very special announcements to make: We will be interviewing Joe “Hero 1” Morrissey, Lead Writer of the CoH Development Team!! Read Joe’s Developer Diary at mmorpg.com Post your questions in the Official Forums for the interview There is an excellent review of our show at Massively.com

Hero Dawn Bash Party — April 19 Loads of […]
We start out with our usual dash of news from the forums. Rather than one main topic, however, we focus on some of the shorter topics recently suggested in our forums. We discuss: April Fools Prank – Visual Sounds BAB’s link indicating his acrobatic moves (we promise promise promise this is NOT a RickRoll!) Optional […]
I think we’ve broken our own record again, making this the longest episode. This wasn’t the intention, but I guess we’ll see if everybody who said “longer episodes please!” really meant it 🙂 I promise that this won’t be a habit and future episodes will get back under the hour mark. This is part two […]
Apparently you can only attach 1 media file per post in the RSS2 feed, and since the Infected PDF was the second thing I attached it took over.. Just like Sigler, I tell ya!! So, here is the actual podcast episode… again.. I tried once before and it didn’t seem to take. So I just […]
Episode is a bit late… but there was an injury involved, so please don’t debuff us 🙂 This episode is part one of a two part interview with a friend of ours dedicated to villains! We discuss: Viv’s on drugs News [more complete show notes on actual news items to come] Bab’s sig file link […]
A bit late, but here none the less! Some of the speculation presented is precluded by our Special Episode, but I went ahead and left everything here intact. This brings us “back on schedule” if there ever was such a thing 🙂 This episode we discuss: Gary Gygax passing Rikti invasions return “Final” Task Force/Strike […]
We are in the middle of post production on episode 16, but wanted to record and get this news flash out to you since Issue 12 has been announced! We hope to get episode 16 on the feed in a day or two. Good hunting heroes!
A special welcome to any new listeners! This episode was recorded last week but was delayed due to some technical difficulties (and minor construction at our base!) We discuss; Ex Libris links to us on the official forums! We’re moving our studio around Blaster damage bug corrected Further veil fixes Clarification from Positron on the […]
This is a bit of a continuation from last episodes information on different character builds. A listener specifically requested information on building a good healer which is why the healing Defender is discussed in-depth here. As we go over in the episode, we are aware that Defenders are much more than healers (that they indeed […]
Love is in the air! This is an exciting week, Heroes! Lots going on, so this episode is our longest. Buckle up and enjoy!

Event Timing: Start: Thursday, February 14th, 8:59am PST / 11:59am EST Finish: Thursday, February 28th, 8:59pm PST / […]
All of the patch notes detail what changes are happening on the Test Server and we really hope that some of them go live before the double XP weekend. Probably unrealistic, but there is some cool stuff going on in there! Of course, there is no guarantee that the stuff being tested will ever make […]
This week we talk about the “conning” system and what all of those colors mean. Trouble downloading? Double XP weekend dates announced A couple news bits Mobs and the conning system Giant Monster spawn rates How the whole “giant monster” damage thing works (level scaling) Rikti Spawns Dwimble’s Guide to mission difficulty settings Voicemails Promo: […]

The 2008 State of the Game The “City Vault” The next double XP weekend and server hardware improvements Valentine’s Day event Smoothing the XP curve “Real Numbers” City of Heroes Fanzine Fanzine Submission Webpage Changes […]
This episode is all about 3rd party add-ons. As discussed in the episode, these are not sanctioned by NCSoft and are against the terms of use, so they are definitely “use at your own risk”. They could get your account suspended or banned from the game. One note from last episode: We mention that the […]
We have more news about us, than the game this time around. The devs have been very quiet through the holidays. Since there was so little news, we went ahead and recorded a faction spotlight for this episode. We discuss: A new intro New equipment in the “studio” A new domain name i12 and i13 […]
This week we talk more about the Winter Event. We had intended to do Ouroboros coverage, but haven’t had much time to ahem research, and what little time we’ve had in game has been spent playing with features of the Winter event. In this episode we discuss: Candy cane salvage and pricing for various temp […]
New news-laden episode for ya where we talk about: Dates for the winter event Winterlord’s Holiday Extravaganza PERC Costume Contest earlier this year Justice Radio (not WOOT! Radio) Patch Notes Double Prestige boost goof Players Choice Awards MMORPG.com MMOSite.com Official COH Forums. Please note, on the podcast I said “forums.coh.com” but it is actually “boards.coh.com“ […]
Here is part two of episode 5 – the Main Topic. We went back and forth about including the faction section, but the main topic was only 20 minutes and this faction was already recorded, so enjoy the Carnies 🙂 In this main topic we discuss everything about Enhancements. The major types and differences between […]
… and just news. After editing we came to a couple of conclusions. 1) the podcast is too long – wait, we already knew that – but despite attempts, its even longer than the last one, lol. 2) there is too much news right now to keep the Factions discussion as well as news and […]
Kind of the opposite from the last two episodes – this one is very, very short. Actually we’re calling it Episode 4.5 as it completes the main topic “Powers” from last episode. There wasn’t any significant news this week either, which added to the shortness (wait, is that an oxymoron?) This ep we cover: A […]
Another long episode this week. I actually pulled some content out so that we didn’t go past the hour mark. I will either release them into a short addendum episode this weekend, or make them the main topic next week. This week we discuss: The date has been announced for the Prestige Bump and Debt […]
We have a whopper of an episode this week. Since its a couple of days late, hopefully all of the great news discussion, terminology, and chat system info will make up for that. This episode is almost an hour long. We will try to keep future episodes shorter, but there is a lot of great […]
The main topic this episode is teaming strategies. Specifically, what the roles on a team are, and the typical way that these roles are used to most effectively take down the bad guys. Only two news clips this episode. First, Floyd “Castle” Grubb, the City of Heroes Development Team powers designer, narrates this trailer spotlighting […]
Here is the first “real” episode. I think that I’ve solved the problem of the hot “S”es (at least in Episode 0 I heard lots of crackly bits over my FM transmitter in the car). The intro/outro are almost the same, but hopefully the news and main content will have better audio quality. This is […]
I am pleased to bring you the first episode of the City of Heroes Podcast! This is a very short introductory episode to tell you a little about me, and what this show is all about. I would love to hear your feedback! You can directly comment on the site here, or send an e-mail […]
