The Elf and Dwarf

As our friends over at Wife Aggro like to have in their intro “it’s just a game”.  Well, the Elf and Dwarf took this week to discuss just that idea.  Is it really just a game?  Is it more?  Returning from their “Family Leave” the hunter duo tackle this and a book review of Novik’s “His Majesty’s Dragon”.

We do plan to return soon.  But we’ve had some complications.  Little Xander is a bit more jaundiced then the doctors like so we are on a very strict feeding regimin of every 2 hours.  This means that 30 min out of every 120 is spent feeding, and we get at most 90 min of downtime to eat, sleep, clean, do laundry, restock the changing table, etc etc.

We haven’t forgotten the fun of podcasting and with the holiday season coming we are anxious to get back to our pontifications on the world of Fantasy and Sci Fi entertainment.

In the mean time though, I’m going to be the proud papa and show off some more baby stuff!

Well, we went off the air again, mainly because getting Addy to have the time to sit and talk was getting harder and harder as the pregency went on and on.

But as I type this, I am taking a break from the hospital.  Addy’s water broke around 7:30 pm est 11/20/07.  The gnome should be out and kicking sometime in the next day.  We’ll keep you posted!

That’s right to mesh with our Halloween theme, the Elf and Dwarf talk about the classic RPG Vampire the Masquerade.  First comes some news (well a LOT of news) from the fantasy/ sci fi worlds including info on Pushing Daisies, the JLA movie, WoW news, and oh yeah, Dumbledore is gay.  Then usual quick email segment (the Dragonlance Trailer is out there!) and then Ady does a book review!

So where do you start when you make a character?  This episode is one part article review (thanks to the folks at WoW Insider) and one part RP advice column.  In addition to our Topic of the Week, we talk about news, goings on, and Adeldia uses her own Bully Pulpit to talk about the challenges facing those that help adopt animals.  Oh and there’s a new contest/ poll for the show!

So here’s the official entry:  Cast your vote for the official name that Rorlins and Adeldia will use to tell his parents, the last people who insist on being surprised, what they’ve picked for a girls name.  Your choices, in no particular order are:

a)  Miranda

b) Serenity

c) Elizabeth

d) Kaylee

The winning name will be announced next week and will be the “official” name used to keep Rorlin’s parents in the dark about the nature of the Gnome.  Of course if the gnome does turn out to be a girl gnome and not the boy we expect, we reserve the right to name her whatever we please.

No Kidding you have Optimus Prime himself call you or your friend on the phone to warn them about the Decepticons moving in on earth!

This has to be the COOLest marketing ploy.  Ever.

And now we’re into part 2.  We talk about some of the more interesting time travel movies, TV shows and books we’ve encountered.  In this episode we touch on Voyagers, Back to the Future, an obscure Ray Bradbury story, The Butterfly Effect and even Bill and Ted.  Oh and after the music, we have spoilers for the upcoming Golden Compass movie (though they’re not spoilers to those that have read the books).

This is part 1 of a 2 parter this week.  In part one we cover the news from sci fi and fantasy (at least the news we’re interested in) and talk some more about the success and failure of movies from books, and video games.  There are also some tidbits about City of Heroes and some friend’s new blog articles.
