Fantastic first episode, guys. Felt quite natural, flowed well and no technical hick ups. Great fun to listen to, although perhaps a bit distracting while working. I'll have to stretch my sleep schedule when I have free time to perhaps get a chance to attend live.
Was great, keep 'em coming! It's long past due, and really perfect timing with SL coming up. I hope you guys talk a lot about what the new Xpac has to offer, but from a multiboxer perspective.
Do you have specific things from the expac you want us to talk about? I believe the challenge for us is balancing what we know (seemingly little) and not talking about things that are still being aggressively tuned (covenants). Covenants IS coming.Quote:

Since the ToS change there are some fancy hardware configs that some folk are pursuing but the majority of boxing configs that I have seen in action and in discussions are what I would call "mouse-over-focus" boxing which is just on a single PC with no special hardware an no 3rd Party Software involved while playing...
Many folk are using some 3rd party software to help size/line up the WoW windows before playing. That can be done even before logging into the WoW clients and then shut down the window arranging software before logging in and starting play. If Blizz were to take exception to that the window arranging software the client windows can be arranged manually with no 3rd party software...
It is also convenient to toggle on/off the windows mouse-over-focus settings via 3rd Party software and that can also be shut down before even starting the WoW clients... If Blizzard were to balk at that for some reason the mouse-over-focus feature can be turned on and off with standard Microsoft Windows functionality...
If you are curious the following is as complete a list as possible of the approaches I have seen (only a few hardware related config stuff is mentioned):

A third option exists: no longer playing World of Warcraft. For us, we didn't want to speak too much to no-boxing answers.Quote:

We're working on getting it on youtube and I have a special project to start putting it on a legitimate podcast service, spotify, etc.
The Blizzard changes greatly disrupted a number of things we were working on, and understand the lack of availability is not conducive to our success.
