Art's Closet Teaser for 12-8-10

Hey Closet'teers,

We are back this week with another live show and as always, a couple of "Topic Teasers" until then...

"Bigger is Better"

“On the evening of November 21st, 2010, online gaming scenes were suddenly shown on the sky screen of The Place, which's located in Beijing and themed by "Everyone in Beijing Looks up". At 8:40 p.m. on that day, a man drove his car under Asia's currently largest LED screen that's placed above The Place in Beijing, opened his notebook PC with an access to the wireless network, and played the online game lying in a prepared lounging chair.” - MMOsite

"Game Addictions"

"Panorama reporter Raphael Rowe meets a mother who cut off her internet connection at home because she was worried about the amount of time her 19-year-old son was spending playing computer games." - BBC News  (hit link for Video)



AC/DC our Artist Spotlight: Bon Scott or Brian Johnson
"AC/DC’s Brian Johnson joined the Greg Billings Band last month at the Irish Rover Pub in Sarasota, Florida to perform a few AC/DC classics." - hennemusic

Episode 10 aired live Dec 1st, 2010 on GNET Radio

Hello Closet'teers,

...and the following.

Gods and Heroes Dev Chat

Tim - Lead Designer

Donna Prior – Community Manager

“Is it Raining or Snowing in your MMO?”

Weather in MMO's

“There was no point in doing a weather system without also creating something cool related to weather.”

We discussed if weather is needed and how we would like to see weather mean something.

MUSIC TOPICS

“Mondegreen, Say What?”

a word or phrase that results from a mishearing of something said or sung <“very close veins” is a mondegreen for “varicose veins”>  

Wiki

“You hide, but don’t get high...?” .....Bob Dylan says to the Beatles?

“Revved up but not wrapped up”

“Where is the bathroom?”

15. Did I mishear the lyrics of "Bad Moon Rising"? "Bathroom on the
right?" I wasn't drunk.

People usually misheard the chorus "there's a bad moon on the rise"
as "there's a bathroom on the right". Today, Fogerty makes fun of it
and purposely slips the "wrong" lyrics into the end of the song.

“'Scuse me while I kiss..who?”

Happy birthday Jimi Hendrix 11-27-1942

Happy Holiday and News

Hello Closet'teers...

Due to the Holiday, We will not have a live show or a Podcast for this week but will return in pure Wardrobe fashion the following week.

We have been busy in our 4X4 world, and I want to take this opportunity to share the news. Along with a live show and recorded Podcast with our friends at GNET Radio, we have added more Closet time with another project.

Over the last few weeks Art's Closet has also been found at Blade Radio. Blade Radio has been the Internet Radio Station for Guild Wars over the last several years and are beginning to branch out into other games. Currently, Blade Radio has entered into Star Trek Online and of course will be catering to Guild Wars 2 upon release.

At Blade Radio, our format is just little different. We host a three hour show with weekly segments: Every Friday at 12pCST

“Gaming News” - Commentary on random news topics from the gaming world.

“It's a Gamers Life” - A lighthearted look at the life of Gamers, in and out of the game.

“Twin Journey's” - 2 Halfling brothers who just don't know what game they’re in (Halfling Skits)

“Closet Mail Bag” - Listener e-mail

“Closet Rock Block” - This segment varies from playing music to talking about it.

The management at Blade Radio are working on an area to host “Art's Closet” with a Blog and per-recorded shows. When everything is finalized all links will be found here.

This Blog will continue as well our relationship with GNET Radio, we are just branching out.

I want to wish everyone a happy holiday filled with good times, good food and family fellowship.

Happy Holiday from Art's Closet.
