Next episode will be late...

(Okay, I admit I haven't used this like this before, as I understand RSS just enough to not know if I can use this for standard blogging. So, we'll see...)

This weekend's episode will be late, as I'm out where I have no ready high speed internet access for uploading and downloading huge files. As such, it'll be Tuesday, probably, before the next show is out.

Thanks for your patience!

An Apology To Our Listeners

We've gotten a record amount of feedback on the Ask A Gamer segment, almost entirely negative. I want to assure everyone that the segment is dead and won't be appearing again here. I apologize to everyone, but most of all Star Wars fans. I do the final edit of the show and decide what goes in, so ultimately the blame is mine.

I hope folks will give us another chance. I know that a past annoyance used up a lot of people's patience, but still...
