Fri, 6 June 2008  Bring on the Drones:
In this episode, the EVE triumvirate becomes a duo as Crovan wanders the Nipponese countryside looking to see if the Joves are hiding in the land of the rising sun. Al vents off some of his frustration with his work and CK enjoys the benefits of Vitamin D - not the Flintstones kind! This week, the guys decide to take a break from Don't Panic, as it just isn't the same without Crovan. Al and CK discuss their wants, wishes and apprehension about Empyrean Age. This episode being the first of a two-part conversation, with the second part coming up next week, once E/A has been released. Al officially trademarks "The Empyrean Age: Don't fly stuff that you can't afford to lose" and opens talks with CCP for bragging rights and royalties. CK drools over the Clear Skies video and pimps both Warp Drive Active podcast #38 and WDA:Industry podcast #6. Good jobs guys! They boyz review some listeners mail and go "googoo gaga" all over again for EVEMon and the Battle Clinic Loadouts. In Tool Time, CK reviews EVE Strategic Maps and explains how he never leaves home without it. Al promises to get his copy. This time around AlienHand's The Shield is used as the music bed and Al fights with Audacity to get the editing and sound level just right. You decide who wins! As always, your comments, emails, praises and insults are more than welcome. Though the later might not get you mentioned on the show, ever! Fly Safe or die trying!

Episode 11 emerges from the tubes! What dark secrets does it proclaim? Bring on the Drones: In the weekly recap the guys go over all the new and exciting EvE podcasts. A podcast for every day of the week at last! Also, it turns out that Crovan is a care-bear at heart. Who knew? In DON’T PANIC the experts chime in on PvP. Up for discussion: once you know what you are going to do, when and where do you get to do it? What are the rules of engagement, and when can you blow up someone who looks at you funny?
In the listener feedback section, we find out about how not to get a
key logger in one easy step! There is follow up and clarification
for the DON’T PANIC on roles in PvP. Our listeners express concern
for Crovan’s safety in Japan, and CK hears back from EvE Uni about
the lockdown during a war dec. Comments[0] |
Wed, 14 May 2008 Episode 10 is here, the MC is gone, and shenanigans ensue.Bring on the Drones: In the weekly recap, MC is gone, CSM elections have begun, and the guys continue plugging along. The DON'T PANIC topic for this week is PvP and the various roles you can play in combat, even if you aren't a combat specialist, yourself. Expect more details on each of these roles in the future. More mail this week. No MP3s this time, but we hear that we should be expecting at least one more in the near future. The crew experiments with a new segment profiling some of the big names in EVE, past and present. First on the plate is the recently disbanded Mercenary Coalition.

Crovan's first article goes up on Massively! Also, CK joins the ranks at Massively. Look forward to more from the Drone Bay crew!

Mail gets answered, as usual, and the guys have an mp3 submission! Tool time returns with EVE Fitting Tool. Don't undock without it! Back to bloopers this week, and make sure to listen in before the bloopers, after the show, for our first listener segment! Also, from last week, the video on logical fallacies.

Sun, 27 April 2008 Episode 8: I smell BACON!
Episode 8 is here, and it's time to fry up some eggs, because BACON's on the plate!
Bring on the Drones: In the weekly recap, the big news is the Re-Release of BACON. The DON'T PANIC topic for this week is the interface. Learn to set up your overview, and also don't miss Crovan and CK's number one interface tip for surviving in 0.0/lowsec! Mail gets answered, as usual. Keep sending us questions/comments! Also, please review us on iTunes. We're in the "New and Notable" section under Games and Hobbies already. Thanks for the support so far! Also, if you have an idea for a mini-segment (2 minutes or under), then record it as an MP3 and send it to one of the e-mail addresses below. We'd love to get some good listener content! No bloopers, but a fitting outro track.

Sat, 19 April 2008 Episode 7 is upon thee! Cower in fear! Also, little to no WoW talk this week, we promise.
Bring on the Drones: In the weekly recap, Crovan edits out a sneeze, but forgets to edit the part where he warns that he's going to sneeze. Also, EVE's source code gets out, and is posted with a chatlog. Drone Bay says Just Say No to source! Also, CCP hires garbage men in Trinity 2.3. The DON'T PANIC topic for this week is the market. Be a day-trader! Watch out for market bubbles! In the listener feedback section, the guys discover that their Skype voicemail works! Yay! Please get in touch with us. We want to hear your dulcet tones. Also, discussion ensues about how hard EVE pwns WoW vis-a-vis PvP. A new segment, titled "Tool Time" debuts this week. The first tool featured is EVEMon. If you aren't using EVEMon, you are wrong! More mail this week, which was good. This week, though we are now welcoming/inviting you to share your own expertise with mini-segments! If you want to record something that is under 2 minutes long in mp3 format, has good audio quality, and is something you think we would find to be quality work, send it on! I recommend using Audacity to record/encode the mp3, since it's free and rather easy to use. You will need to download a file library to encode mp3s, but all the links are on the Audacity site. In a pinch, you can send us a wav file. No bloopers this week. Not because they didn't happen, but more because Crovan left them in in order to simulate "live conditions." We are still contemplating taking the show live in the future, at least for the recording process. This is a taste of the insanity likely to ensue. Enjoy!

Thu, 10 April 2008 Yes, I Assure You We're an EVE Podcast!
Five points for the movie reference in this episode's title! Yes, HordeCast was a cruel, cruel joke. Some of you got the joke, some didn't. If you didn't, we're sorry for scaring you. It's safe to come back now, the nasty Orcs are gone. We're back and talking about EVE again so... Bring on the Drones: In the weekly recap, Al and Crovan giggle at their own hilarious with regarding the April Fool's episode, and share the woes of everyone's limited playtime. CK shares a great resource for the upcoming CSM elections. The DON'T PANIC topic for this week is mining. Crovan is allergic to Veldspar, so CK steps up as the mining sensei. In the listener feedback section, a question is answered, the guys answer one piece of criticism, and Al and Crovan once again giggle about last week's show. Al is sorry. Crovan is not. This week’s out of game discussion is about...another MMO that Crovan refuses to name in the show notes for fear of mail bombs. Keep sending us your mail! We love it! We need it! Stroke our egos! Flame us! We don't care, just send us more mail, or I'll put more exclamation points in next week's show notes!!!! This week's music bed is "Forever Lost" by AlienHand. Go to the link to check out his other great stuff! The guys had a pretty tight recording this week, so no blooper reel. Instead, please enjoy a really funny machinima version of re: Your Brains by Jonathan Coulton.

Tue, 1 April 2008 Episode 5 (Or perhaps the new Episode 1 is more appropriate): Format Changes
We're a bit short on show notes this week. Suffice to say that there are big changes coming for The Drone Bay, and we hope you'll stick it out with us. CK was unable to join us, but Al and I soldiered on without him again. Look to see him back next week as we continue with our new format. Until next time, lvl 22 war LFG for SFK. As always, you can e-mail us at dronebay|at|gmail.com. The new format may require a new e-mail address, so be on the lookout for that. Comments[0] |
Thu, 27 March 2008 The Drones have gone rogue in Episode 4! This week the team is back
together, and Al puts his sobriety in danger by drinking every time
Crovan screws up a segment intro. Will his liver survive? Find out in
this week's Drone Bay Podcast!Bring on the Drones: In the weekly recap, the team discusses the forum threads on the CSM, the fake RA titan deathmail, the state of the Great War, and more. In DON’T PANIC, Al gets walked through missions and mission rewards by the grizzled old vets. Crovan recommends The Kill Mission Survival Guide (works in game) for all budding (or experienced) mission runners out there. In the listener feedback section, Crovan answers a couple of ship setup questions, and each of the guys chooses one listener mail to discuss on air. Did yours make it? Listen to find out! This week’s out of game discussion is replaced with a community focus, where the guys promote Morphisat's Blog, Shut Up, We're Talking, and Massively". Please, please keep giving us feedback. We can’t get to everything every week, but we do appreciate the input and questions. If you’re interested in voice mailing us, please try the mp3 or wav file in an e-mail method for now while I try to get Skype sorted again.

Tue, 18 March 2008 The Drones are loose again in Episode 3! This week we’re without
CrazyKinux, who is across the pond hob-nobbing with Zapatero, but we
persevere anyway, only to discover that we are incapable of recording a
sensible intro without him. Come back, CK!
Bring on the Drones: In the weekly recap, the guys talk a bit about the 1.1 patch and the impact it had on the servers, and catch up a bit on the happenings in EVE. In DON’T PANIC, Crovan and Al discuss your first week in EVE, and how to get started down your chosen career path. Gentlemen, start your frigates! In the listener feedback section, the guys air their first voicemail and handle some lengthy but rather good questions. This week’s out of game discussion quickly turns into a bit of an EA thrashing, as the guys share their fears about Warhammer Online. Please, please keep giving us feedback. We can’t get to everything every week, but we do appreciate the input and questions. If you're interested in voice mailing us, please try the mp3 or wav file in an e-mail method for now while I try to get Skype sorted again. Contact Info: GAX Online Group: The Drone Bay Comments[0] |
