However, I did mention that this is going to be our final post (at least for the time being). Both me and Quivering Palm have decided to take a long-long break from EVE and focus on this Massively Multiplayer Offline game called Real Life™. Not much to be said other than that it has been a helluva ride.

I’m extending huge gratitude to all the people who have followed us throughout these years, who spent their gaming time with us, who laughed at our jokes and tolerated our 3 hour long nonsense and drunken stupor. It’s time for us to pull the curtain and go for that lengthy intermission. I do say ‘intermission’ because you never know.. we could be back some day. When will that be though… putting it in Duke Nukem Forever terms.. “When we will”…

You can still catch me on Split Infinity Radio ever Monday and Wednesday for the WTF Show as well as on the EU East/Nordic server of League of Legends under the nick “aMUSiC” (yeah I know blasphemy… but it’s free ehehehe).

So long… and thanks for all the fedos =)

We did..  twice in Planet Risk.. and finally up close and personal. These gentlemen dear readers, are the guys whose butt we kicked on the Valentine Day Massacre… and who kicked our butts on the Steak and Blowjob Massacre. Guillotine  Therapy corp, from the Rooks and Kings.

As much as we hated them back in the days for ruining our almost year long op in W-space, up close and personal they’re one of the coolest guys around, with a formidable approach to the game. Gotta say that I loved their input and standpoints in the Wormhole roundtable. Too bad the roundtable itself was chaotic and totally out of sync.

Expect a video interview with Guillotine Theraphy uploaded Soon™

• Meikura G’s PI Literature piece in txt format
• Sam Ramsay Waste of time one liner attempt: “I think that pi is a big waste of ccp’s time when they could fix many problems from the last expansions. 1st of all the lag, blackscreens and grid problems is alot bigger problem and should be dealt with first. I personally think that pi needs to be set back befor the domination issues are dealt with. I have tried PI on the test server and it looks like a cool edition to the eve but what problems will it bring and will they leave like domination or continue to improve it time will tell. That is all”

So synchronize your watches  and tune in through www.siradio.fm at 20:00 EVE time tonight, or download the podcast after the show. Remember, we’ll be reading/playing (to the extent possible) your competition submissions as well as selecting and announcing the winners.

Good.. now that I have your attention… I can proceed with the actual content of this post =)

The more ambitious a project is, the harder it disappoints when it doesn’t come to fruition. As such, it so seems that pod pilots are too scared (or maybe too lazy) to record themselves talking about Planetary Interaction while imitating Quiv and me. Not a single submission.. /emoragequit…

Maybe you guys are filthy rich and don’t need any more ISKies, but we still have 5 PLEX to give out, and since the pen is mightier than the sword (or in this case, the keyboard is mightier than the microphone), we are not only extending the competition until the end of the month, but we’re also changing the rules a bit. So..

- Either record yourself talking OR write something about  Planetary Interaction. Once again, the content can be anything. Review, Guide, Rant, Fiction or Cookie recipes.

- Send it to qna@planetriskshow.com

- Deadline is on May 31^st

- All entries will be played/read aloud on the June 2^nd show. The authors of the best 5 will win themselves a PLEX each.

- Singing is not forbidden (heaven forbid…)

- In the event that we don’t get enough submissions, all remaining PLEX will be donated to the FFFFFFF (Federal Fund for Fedo Freedom Fighter’s Families)

So, don’t hesitate pilots. There’s still time to submit your impersonations, but not that much.

So kids.. don’t try this at home as it’s gonna probably end you up on a personal perma-red with the whole CVA (unless of course their sense of humor supersedes their need to WTFPWN me on sight.

I’m talking of course about my latest Oh My Pod parody.. called “Bye CVA” . It’s been a while since I released one… and I kinda felt the itch.. So enjoy =)

Download the song through this forum post along with the previous parodies “Because of Falcon” and “Jizz in my Pod“

But for those of you who exceed the sane levels of fandom (or those who’d just like to pocket a PLEX for their toon) while you’re waiting eagerly for Tyrannis to launch, we’re offering you the opportunity to be even more like us and put your voice out there about the upcoming Planetary Interaction… literally.

What you need to do

Record yourself talking for a maximum of 5 minutes. In that recording you should:

1. Talk about Planetary Interaction. It can be a review, an insight, a rant, a prophecy, a guide, a story or whatever
2. Impersonate Luminus Aardokay or Quivering. It could be a voice imitation, style, inflections, poor grammar, lousy pronunciation, bad puns or anything that makes you sound like.. uh.. us =)
3. Try to be funny. We are. Or at least we think we are =)

You can produce the clip if you so wish, adding sound effects or even music, but in the case of music since we are going to play all submitted clips on our show and podcast you can only use EVE’s music as well as the EVE Project tracks by AlienHand. Save it as an .mp3 (44khz 128kbs 16bits Stereo will suffice) and send your submission to qna@planetriskshow.com.

All submissions must come in by May 18^th. We’ll play all of them on May 19^th‘s Tyrannis special show and the 5 clips we deem to be the best will each win their authors a PLEX. Make sure to include your pilot’s name in the mail.

Dare to be us, pilot!

(no matter how scary that might sound…)

Quivering will add the show notes later on (and maybe he’ll scan his hand-written show notes and upload them too just for shits and giggles). Also, we’d like to thank you for being such an awesome bunch of listeners and managing to endure us for the whole season. Thank you for tuning in and we invite you to keep doing so for Season 2.. starting soon™
