Flash Point 16: 86 days to launch – the live podcast

September 24, 2011 by

It doesn’t get much bigger than this – about a quarter of the way into the podcast the ever-observative Ed saw the announcement pop up on the SWTOR site. So we’ve ended up with a CNN-style live on the spot coverage of the announcement. Well, not really but as you’ll hear it certainly changed the course of the podcast!

Points of discussion:
– PvP details
– ESRB rating for SWTOR
– the release date announcement
– Guild alignment
– Companion characters
– Shout outs for our forums, Facebook page, Oceanic Guild listing, and Twitter account.
