Flash Point 3: Bullmalarkey, fiddlybits and metallic toilet cubicles

April 1, 2011 by David

Don’t let the title put you off, this is another episode with Ed and I chatting about everything SWTOR, albeit within the context of a pretty quiet time news-wise. At 30 minutes it’s a nice lunch-break size, so enjoy.

– RIFT as an example of not offering cross-platform system support
– Better guild recruiting
– Companion outfitting

An apology: sorry for some of the sound issues this week. I managed to forget to switch my mic over from my computer’s built in one, so I sound a little like I’m broadcasting from a metallic toilet cubicle but it’s still very listenable.
