Evening Reading

by Brian Leahy, Dec 30, 2010 5:00pm PST

This post, like the one I'll be posting tomorrow night at your regular chatty time is little more than a comments reset to make sure things stay fresh and smooth over the New Years break.

Over break, I hope to hit level 80 in World of Warcraft so I can actually start digging into the high-level Cataclysm content. I'm about to hit 78 and I've been doing mostly quest marathons mixed in with some random dungeons. Queuing as a healer makes that go by so quickly.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Anyone else miss Idle Thumbs... and before that the days when the Shack was PC heavy in their podcast? I love G and the crew, and have been a fan since the early days of 1up no doubt, dont get me wrong. Weekend Confirmed, IMO, is a great 90/10 console to pc gaming cast. Beyond Blizzard games talk, there's very little pc talk, very little about a ton of great indie stuff on pc, and that's fine with G at the helm....but I can't help but want a heavier pc gaming podcast, especially from this site. The Shack has always had a huge PC gaming base, yet listening to weekend confirmed you wouldn't know it.

With GFW radio/Brodeo/idle thumbs gone for sometime now, and the PC Gamer Mag podcast as lame as it is, what else is out there to get our fix?? Again, I love weekend confirmed for the general and console discussion, but fuck I can't help but miss Remo and the guys.

  Out of the Game has been pretty good, even though they spend most of it talking about The Walking Dead.
