Extended Break

Jay — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 03:54:57 +0000

You’ve all noticed by now that I’ve been on an extended break from producing shows. I’m just posting that here for the benefit of those that are just finding this site. As I’ve told several of you via email, I may be back later to produce more shows, but I just don’t have the time to do so right now. No ETA on when I’ll be able to come back to this. Enjoy LotRO while you wait though, there is still a lot of good content being added to the game.

Jay — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 15:59:35 +0000

In Episode 11 of Weathertop Radio, I talk about the latest LotRO game news, in-game events, and fansite announcements. The main topic was intended to cover the in-game music system, but I had to cut this short. However, I was able to include a recap of the House of Commons dev chat.

House of Commons Dev Chat

Jay — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 15:59:02 +0000

Hi all. Episode 11 should be up probably by Tuesday morning. I planned to record it tonight (Sunday), but it was much too late before I could get started so I’ll have to hold off for one more day. However, I wanted to post a reminder about the House of Commons dev chat at LotRO Stratics since I couldn’t get this episode out by Monday morning. It will be on Monday, July 9th at 8 PM Eastern so be sure and check that out.

Busy weeks

Jay — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 02:32:41 +0000

Just a quick post regarding episode 11. It should be out later this week. With the July 4th holiday this week I’ve been pretty busy and I wanted to get some game time in as well, so look for the next episode soon.

New web site features

Jay — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 05:59:59 +0000

I know, I know…the next show is coming soon. But in the mean time, I’ve been busy on some new changes to the web site. I’ve set up a Weathertop Radio Forum for the listeners to chat about the game or whatever else comes up. Be sure to sign up and join in! Also, for those that would like to call in with your comments, stories, or ideas, you will be glad to hear that I’ve set up a voice mail number. You can call (678) 905-1172 to leave a message. Listeners outside the USA will need to add +1 for the country code as well. And if you are looking for the Weathertop Radio Frapper Map, you will now find a link to it in the sidebar. Enjoy!

Technical Difficulties

Jay — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 03:26:27 +0000

Hi everyone. I wanted to post a message to update you in case you were wondering “Hey, where’s the next podcast?”. Well, I was extremely busy last weekend and was delayed in getting the show together. Then, as luck would have it, my broadband router decided to retire during the last couple of days. My internet connection has been shaky at best so I was unable to gather info for the show. I couldn’t even play Lord of the Rings Online due to some severe lag caused by my flaky router. I switched over to one of my backup routers tonight so I should be able to get the show together in the next day or so. In the meantime, enjoy the Shores of Evendim update!

Jay — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 15:59:13 +0000

In Episode 9 of Weathertop Radio, I talk about latest game news, in-game events, and fansite announcements.
