The Elf and Dwarf

Recorded live in Second Life, the Hunter duo do all they can to avoid the show’s main topic:  The Life, Times and Writing of Micheal Crichton.  They can’t pass a chance to talk about Twilight (which was spurred by comments by Steven King), nor to talk a bit about WoW and achievments.  Did you know Rorlins wrote a novel?

After their Christmas Vacation (free of Chevy Chase, sadly) the Hunter Pair returns to not only fill you in on their vacation but stream the show live from Second Life!  The pair talk about geeky presents they gave and got, and what they’ve been up to for the last 2 months.  A bit of ranting about Northrend, a little talking about the new Patch, and some postulations for next week finish the show.  As a correction, Rorlins will be making his SL live music debut next week, not this week, on 1/29.

So you want to listen in the show live in Second Life?

It’s not as hard as it sounds but, if you’re completely new to virtual worlds it can be intimidating at first.

Begin by going to https://join.secondlife.com/

There you can signup and download the client.  Once it’s installed getting in is not that hard and there are a few tutorials to get you used to everything floating around.  Depending on how much you want to make of your visit to Second Life give yourself anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour for the tutorials.  Once that’s done, hop over to this SURL

And you’re there.  Make sure that you’ve enabled streaming media, and that it’s turned on and you should hear the stream coming down.

We are planning a return.  Here’s what got us:

• Holiday planning.
• Wrath of the Lich King
• Holiday planning.
• The Gnome now walks.
• Holiday planning
• A new Xbox for Rorlins (thank you Randall Undermountian!!!)
• Holiday Planning

Now that we’re free of the holidays we are coming back.  Look for us next week on the 21st of January to return with a show about “Geek Christmas” the best geek gifts we got, the best geek gifts we gave, what we wanted to get and what hope for the new year.

And as an added bonus we will be streaming the show LIVE into Second Life while we record.  It’s a free download, feel free to get a copy, make yourself an avatar and hang out with Rorlins and Adeldia (who go by Rollins Hawker and Kaylee Ninetails) at Santir Island Performance Center.  Once you’re in world just do a search for the “Place” Santir and you’ll find us there.  Show starts at 9 Eastern.

In this special edition, the Elf and Dwarf document their first steps, literally into Northrend.  Listen along as they sail across the sea and wander into the first zone, do their first quests and give their first impressions.

This week the hunter pair brings a review of Will Wright’s new(er) game Spore.  Well, after they do some news from Azeroth, comment on the zombie plague, look into some new castings in the realm of sci/fi fantasy and other tidbits, plus some email.  And of course the email bag has at least one email on how to write a book…

The new fall season is underway!  A few weeks in and here’s what the Elf and Dwarf have programmed into their DVR.  Hits and misses abound as well as probably a few too many non-sci fi/ fantasy conversations.  Oh, and there’s not much news so we subsituted a few minutes of married people bickering instead.
