Salutations, mate. And thanks for the mention.

[Lessah]

The remix of the old theme song at the end is is top shelf!!! I love it!

[Dylos_Moon]

Jerry, stop appologizing for having the correct information, save the appologizes for when the forumites tell you you're wrong

Still listing, but so far;
I love the theme song. Props to whoever submitted that.
Just heard the "advertisement" and almost fell out of my chair laughing.

I should get back to listening now

[Cedwin]

Hey thanks Jerry, I didn't think you'd use both of them.

If anyone is interested in creating something yourself, but have no idea where to start, for the intro I used Sony Acid Music Studio (there is a free 30 day trial), with the Crystal VST plugin for effects (free). Send me a PM if you need help installing it or anything.

The outro was recorded via my phone, while playing it on a Yamaha YPT-400, standing in Best Buy.

The problem is sometimes in the middle of recording you're not sure if you are right or if you are having a total brain meltdown...and hedge your bet with a preemptive apology...

That makes the outro even better!

Thank you for the shows. I have recently began listening and have found alot of great information, and entertainment.

I really enjoyed Rheebus's discusion on the role of tanks in DDO, it seemed to reaffirm my understanding of what is meant to "tank" in DDO. I was confused by the last DDO Cast and how the tank role was defined there, as I don't believe the tank is ever going to be your main source of DPS. I understand that the "tank" role is not as neccesary in DDO as it may be in other MMO's, but used effectively, it can really make things run much more smoothly. I play low AC dps types for the most part, and I am always happy to have a good intimitank type to hold the aggro while I can take the monsters out. I also enjoy healing with good intimitank, when I really only have to heal one character, and get to even further mitigate damage through some crowd control.
