Stuff about this podcast you should know:
Opening Theme Song: “Save Me” by The Napoleon Blown Aparts, America’s baddest rock n’ roll band!
The Doc comment about the house and person you hate is an oldie. Melbournes very own Sam Newman uses it all the time (both the saying and the theory).

Molly,
Do you really think Cam knows who Sam Newman is?
any relation to Alfred E?

Ok guys…I finally broke down and went ahead and voted at PodCast alley. I’ve been abstaining for many moons, as I think it’s a bogus metric. But your begging has been particularly heartfelt recently, so I relented! Count me in.
Thanks Ken! Bogus or not, a top 20 ranking has a positive spiral effect on how many listeners a podcast gets. G’day World was in the top ten of Podcast Alley from Dec 04 – Feb 05 and we had many more listeners back in those days. Then we stopped asking people to vote, they stopped voting, and we sunk into oblivion. Of course, the important people kept listening… or that’s what I tell myself. 🙂
Hmm after Feb ’05 you lost listeners. Wasn’t that when the sock puppet wasn’t on as often? Hmm coincidence….
yeah I’m sure that’s what it was. 🙂
On you inventing SkypeCasting, I bet you wished you had of Patented the name if not the concept!

Wheres the forum topic for World of Warcraft? Personally I won’t go anywhere near it as I know that I can kiss my life goodbye if I did. I just get to addicited to these things! Warcraft 3 and playing that online was bad enough!

Here are some WoW leveling tips that you really want to live by whenever you are leveling. It has helped me out a lot since I started playing and I know they will greatly benefit everyone as well. Tip #1: Stick with a mixture of grinding and questing. One or the other by itself will probably slow down your progress but a nice mixture of both you can achieve the levels you want the fastest. There are tons of guides out there that will show you which quests to do, when to grind, and where to grind. One of my favorite Warcraft Powerlevel Guide.Tip #2: Grab as many quests as possible whenever in a town and don’t return until they are all completed. This cuts down on travel time and it really is a lot of fun turning in 5-9 quests at the same time!Tip #3: Stay focused and have a game plan before logging in. For some people this really isn’t a problem but, I know for me and some of my friends, it really can be hard to focus on leveling and I know I have lost many hours of valuable leveling time due to not having a game plan setup before playing. With a plan of action it really is harder to get side tracked by the auction house, PvP, etc.Tip #4: Don’t die! I know, I know…that one is kind of a given. Very simple but yet some players don’t follow it. I know your character will die in the course of the game but really I’m talking about trying to do quests or kill mobs that are too high of a level for you. Dying repeatably only slows down your progress so if you find yourself dying over and over again I would either drop the quest or come back later after you gain a few levels. If only Blizzard kept track of how much time is spent running back to corpses…I know I have spent a lot of time doing that.Tip #5: Don’t be afraid of asking for help. Run into that occasional hard quest that you just have to do? Ask your friends/guildies to help you out. Remember to only ask for help when you really need it because if you start taking advantage of someone’s help they will not help you anymore.
