Episode 18: The Hedge Mage

Many Telarans rejoice for Patch 1.9 & Summerfest hitting the live servers this week but some aren't so joyous and we'll discuss why. Joe experiences some classic open world PvP. Wait, did I say PvP? I meant getting ganked and camped. We remind ourselves about some of RIFT's original hooks at launch and Joe discovers a new class called "The Hedge Mage". What exactly is a Hedge Mage anyway? Find out, in this week's Overcast!

Overcast Haunts Docsauce's Twitch Stream

Roughly an hour or so prior to Docsauce ending his nightly livestream, at twitch.tv/docsauce, Matt mentioned he found the dark room behind Doc a bit eerie.  Matt explained that he thought something might be watching Doc while he streams.  Seems obvious right?

Just minutes before Docsauce ended the stream, Matt decided to share with him a "screenshot" of what he meant by his previous line.  All Matt said was, "Doc I want to show you something real quick, so that you know I wasn't joking earlier." and then linked him the "screenshot".

Didn't expect and couldn't have hoped for such a great reaction.  Thanks for being so awesome, Doc!

Episode 17: The Search Has Begun... Again

Another relatively quiet week for news, though not so quiet on the forums.  Matt & Joe begin the search for a raiding guild, again. Trion shows off their new Twitch channel by showcasing Patch 1.9, the population calls for server merges and we discuss how that could effect expansion sales, Conquest will arrive on live servers along with patch 1.9 next week but was it ready? Plus, isn't it sort of wrong for a Dwarf to be bald and clean-shaven?
