MaxTheGrey Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Hi team! I wanted to drop a thread here to introduce our podcast, give you some background, and announce new episodes. @AIESema and I (@MaxTheGrey) play on Jedi Covenant, both Imperial and Republic, as part of the Alea Iacta Est gaming community. Inspired by our favorite SWTOR podcasts, we've started a weekly cast to lightly cover the latest news and mostly focus on a rotating segment covering some aspect of the game. You'll be able to find new episodes and a show summary every Tuesday at http://www.newoverlords.com/category/listen/ as well as on iTunes and directly on our RSS feed. Here is our latest episode: SWTOR Escape Pod Cast 15 – Gearing Up a New 55 This week @AIESema, @MaxTheGrey and Astromech EPC-15 bring you news about Patch 2.5 and drill down with tips and guidance on what to do to gear up that new 55 you have from the double XP weekend. They cover tips on legacy smuggling, commendations, dailies, augments, stims and starting in on Hard Mode Flash Points. No joke here this week… its fact: The Kessel Run routed around black hole space and the best pilots could skirt the dangerous stuff to shorten the distance! (I always thought it was misuse of distance measures in place of time!) Thanks! Edited December 4, 2013 by MaxTheGrey New podcast update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salient Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Thanks, Pathlight! By the way, I've moved the update thread for the podcast to the "Community" forum to make it easier for people to find: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=705331 Also, while Sema and I can't guarantee the safety of every Astromech, just remember that it's for the good of all of us... except the droids.
