Limit Break Radio presents: Love, Battles & Reality

November 16th, 2010

Love, Battles & Reality is a special one hour presentation from Limit Break Radio that examines online games in their greater social context. This is consists of three stories presented in a style similar to This American Life. The first story by Nate Bender (aka Aniero) called ‘Life Between Two Worlds: The Culture of Online Gaming‘ in which he explains the basics of what a MMO is and travels to the 2007 Final Fantasy XI FanFest. From Ross Wolinsky, his story ‘A Word To Our Players‘ takes an outside look at Final Fantasy XI through one dedicated player and asks important questions concerning the value of MMOs in our society. And in our final story from Aaron Henkin, ‘A Disturbance In The Force‘, we look at the boundaries between fiction and reality and how even just one person can blur those lines for the rest of us.

Join us for this LBR special presentation: Love, Battles & Reality

Star Breaker Exclusive! Vana’diel Tribune Narratives: A Tragedy of Treason

October 31st, 2008

Star Breaker Exclusive: Vana'diel Tribune Narratives: A Tragedy of Treason

We mentioned a few episodes ago that TamTu had started a project he calls the Vana’diel Tribune Narratives that would be available to Star Breakers. Well, we wanted to let all you non-Star Breakers hear a sample of these amaizing pieces. So, here’s a freebie.

So, take it away TamTu:

“Introducing a series of narratives, I hope by making this series, I improve on my narratives and masking my Dutch accent ;p

A few years ago, PlayOnline Viewer had a incredibly fun section named called the Vana’Diel Tribune. Unfortunately they stopped writing articles from in-game characters’ point of views and my heart was broken.

I hope to give a little bit of more depth to the world of Vana’Diel by recreating some of them in audio! I’m starting off with the”Legends of the Constellations” series, and in particular the one of Shiva.

You can read along by clicking here“

TamTu has already released his second Vana’diel Tribune Narrative, available only to Star Breakers.

Level Down Episode 0 – It Begins…

August 15th, 2008

Several weeks ago I made an appearance on the latest Final Fantasy XI podcast to hit the scene, Level Down, from the awesome people over at VanadielProfiles.com. I’m sure everyone remembers Sesh from Episode 33, well he’s one of the four main hosts of the program along with Kixxi, Duel and Teila, they have a really fantastic show going on over there and it’s 100% totally worth your time to listen to! It was a great honor to come on to their pilot episode as a representative of Limit Break Radio. The pilot also
features Fusionx and Steak of Pet Food Alpha and we all discuss what it’s like to do a FFXI podcast as well as some of our personal background and show history. We have added the Level Down pilot episode to our RSS feed, so for those that are subscribed by iTunes, Zune or some other software will get the episode automatically, but don’t just stop there, Level Down has released their first full episode which is freakin’ awesome!

A few weeks back Aniero appeared on another fellow podcasters show called Geek Speak. Geek Speak is hosted by Bryan Carr and is broadcasted from 91.5 WMHW, meaning they’re not just a podcast, but an actual radio show! Being on Geek Speak was a pleasure and a blast! We talk about all manner of things, net neutrality, video games, and all kinds of crazy stuff!
