The Holocron 2.0

Episode 2.22 "For the Look of the Thing"

fiddleback@d20radio.com (Brian Casey) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:30:33 PST

Welcome back, Gamer Nation.

Phil returns and he and Brian discuss those weirdos you all run around with in TOR and what you can do about knocking that silly look off their faces. From the mop top of Corso to Blizz's winter gear, where do you go to change all that?

In addition you get some talk about the contest results, the inside scoop on recent guild events, advice on Taral V, and all the other quality information and entertainment you have come to expect from two guys producing a podcast on SW:TOR. It's the Holocron 2.0, Episode 2.22 "For the Look of the Thing"

Episode 2.21 "Two Fat Guys Walk Into a Temple..."

fiddleback@d20radio.com (Brian Casey) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 19:46:20 PST

Hello once again Gamer Nation!

In this episode, Phil and Brian commit the Cardinal Sin of gaming. They show you their characters. Both the boys pull out their builds and try to explain the whys and wherefores of their character builds. Just what makes that tubby, blue Twi'lek such a fun guy to be around, and why is it that Brian's guy needs to have a big lizard doing all the heavy lifting?

We've also got the usual bevy of listener bits, the boys take a stab at figuring out where they'd move to in TOR and the comedy has started rolling in. It's a veritable grab bag of crunch and fluff in this Episode of the Holocron 2.0, Episode 2.21, "Two Fat Guys Walk Into a Temple..."

Special #2 "RP Workshop and Q&A II"

fiddleback@d20radio.com (Brian Casey) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:02:37 PST

Gamer Nation, 66ers, Vrookies, and other related beings, the time has come...

It's the second full-length RP Cantina Special with your very own AsaTJ! Featuring a Character Workshop for the non-heroic character, and Q&A Extravaganza round two! Plus, guild RP news, and the best track from the SW:TOR score!

Order up a plasteel cylinder of your poison of choice and settle in for RP goodness! And say hi to Zaandar the bartender next time you come across him in-game!

Episode 2.20 "Matrix Revelations"

fiddleback@d20radio.com (Brian Casey) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 20:31:42 PST

We're a day early Gamer Nation!

So, you've wandered around in Star Wars: The Old Republic for a while and maybe you've been a few places. Maybe you've even explored a bit and found some of those nifty little datacron things. Sure, they're good for getting stat boosts, but every so often you come across one that doesn't seem to be like the rest. Some sort of shard thing, what's all that about? Phil is happy to help you out there and give you the low down on Matrix Shards and their uses.

You'll be happy to know TJ is back with RP Cantina, Perrian returns with all his bits, Tosche Station chimes in again along with Coruscant Confidential. There's a new contribution as well, all about Space Combat. Also, Phil and Brian take a look at the first month of the game, we promote our contest once more (You are preparing an entry, aren't you?) and somehow we make it through an early morning show without having to swallow any red OR blue pills. It's the latest Holcron 2.0, Episode 2.20 "Matrix Revelations."

Episode 2.19 "...in Spaaaace!"

fiddleback@d20radio.com (Brian Casey) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 18:37:44 PST

Here it is, 2012 already and what do we have in store for you this time? Why, a special holiday greeting to open things with and so much more.

Phil and Brian discuss all things Space Combat related in order to help you get your ship off the ground. How does it all work, you ask? Well, we tell you right here. In addition we've also got more lovely listener bits. RP Cantina, Coruscant Confidential, Tosche Station and Simon Says all make a return and they brought along a couple of friends to boot. There's so much packed inside that we can't possibly list it all out for you here.

What we can do, though, is let you know that there are two contests inside on top of everything else. Like free stuff? Of course you do. Find out how it all hangs together in this Holocron 2.0, Episode 2.19 "...in Spaaaace!"

Phil and Brian hit the Dev Tracker pretty hard in this one, but that's okay because there wasn't too much else of note due to the post-E3 recovery from BioWare.. So sit back, relax and get cozy with those explosives in this 2.7 episode of the Holocron 2.0, "Lullz"

Gamer Nation, it's time for some Jedi on Sith action with this week's episode.

BioWare has revealed some PvP details to us over the past few weeks and we've got them for you right here in an easily digestible format. We let you know what we know. Which isn't a whole lot at this point. It was enough to get Phil and Brian interested in trying some PvP, though, so maybe you'll find some interesting elements in it as well.

If that's not enough for you we also have some exciting guild information and an amazing offer that has been made available to us from Good Ol' GMDave. Plus the usual listener mail and other game related news. Come check it all out in this, Episode 2.4 of The Holocron 2.0 "Peavy Pea?"

fiddleback@d20radio.com (Brian Casey) — Mon, 02 May 2011 02:44:30 PDT

We survived Audacity Gamernation!

After last weeks fiasco we come back at you hard and fast. Phil, Brian and TJ are all in attendance and we are talking Fan Site Summit. That's right, BioWare had a party and we weren't invited, but that doesn't mean we don't have information from the Summit to talk about.

We cover everything from Companion Characters to Game Mechanics, Flashpoints to crafting. In short, everything we could get our hands on. Plus, RP Cantina is back in full force, we've got listener mail and guild news and lots of good commentary. Want to know what there is to know about Star Wars: The Old Republic? Well you have come to the right place. It's the Holocron 2.0, Episode 2.3 "Austin City Litmus".
