In the wake of the NDA finally being lifted the troublesome trio of WAR Bloggers (Keen, Snafzg, and Syp) has come together to release ChaosCast Episode #5! It’s been a long time since we last released an episode of ChaosCast but we think the next few episodes will make up for that.
Episode #6 is currently planned for release here soon. We’re planning a much more in depth analysis of the game now that the NDA is down. With all the scheduling problems we’ve had and the July newsletter being delayed it set us slightly askew. So look for Episode #6 to come soon.
We hope you enjoy Episode #5!

Show Notes/Outline
Round-table Discussion:

– How do we feel about being “left out” from the NDA-breaker crowd?
– NDA predictions (what’s going to happen when it all comes down?)
– Naysayers – Will WAR be a virtual boomerang?
– Marketing gimmicks – Buy Spore/Red Alert 3 and get an in-game item?Beta Impressions
This week The Blow Hole takes the place of our usual Round Table Discussion as we sift through all the emails and questions you, our listeners, sent in.
1. How long have you been in beta?
2. What are your overall thoughts on the game?

Woo! Blog Warhammer gets a shout!
And in case anyone is curious, it’s a site where all WAR bloggers can get together for whatever nefarious purpose.
Great podcast!
I thought you were spot on with your comments on what bloggers can offer that a larger site really can’t. Look forwards to the next one!
I can’t seem to open the podcast, it goes to Buffering, then Error opening file. All previous have been fine.
Works now. I think the host was down.
After playing WAR in beta:
I was disappointed. It so is a WOW clone with GW windowdressing. Combat was clunky, questing was rewashed WOW, PvP was dumb and felt pointless.
K&G: Hope your fanboi fervor will carry you though a couple of months in WAR at least. It’s an interesting game, but for me: Goes the same way WOW and AOC went … down the memory hole.
Guess there wasnt enough to grind then, Pelkor?
