Many of you may know that aside from Hak.5 I’ve been involved in another podcasting venture over at mmoradio.com with Jenn Cutter of OpenAlpha.tv. The show, The War Room, was all about Blizzard’s World of Warcraft. I’m both happy and sad to say that the show has officially come to an end. I’ve canceled my WoW account, which means I’ll have much more time for Hak.5 now. I will however miss doing the live radio show with Jenn, and questing with the most awesome fans on the Stormrage realm.

Unfortunately as soon as the show ended last Sunday MMORadio.com pulled the plug on The War Room website, forums, and feed. It’s been a fun four months but for those who weren’t lucky enough to catch the live show there won’t be a series finale sync’d to their ipods this week. So thanks to our talented producer I’ve gathered all 13 episodes of The War Room and uploaded them here for your enjoyment.

It’s been a blast working with co-host Jenn Cutter and producer Stephen Saylor and I’m positive as this chapter ends new colaborative projects will emerge. But we’ll have to wait a bit longer for any announcements about that.

So as we end The War Room I propose a toast to all WoW players and invite you to enjoy the series finale available here.

On another note, if you’re ready for some twitch action shooting with Wess and I, the Hak.5 LAN party will be going on this Saturday with Counter-Strike: Source. Details in the post below.

Just a reminder that this Saturday we will be holding our second Hak.5 LAN party. This will be the last LAN party with Counter-Strike: Source until the next rotation. So this is your chance to equip a Desert Eagle & M4A1 and take on Wess and Darren in Dust, Office, Assault, and all the other fun maps.

Game: Counter-Strike: Source
Date: Saturday, May 27th
Time: 9:00 PM EST (-5 GMT)

Last night the Computer America interview went well. We chatted for the first hour about Hak.5 in general as well as some things to look forward to in season two. The bit I said about Alli and Evil Server were just to throw you off track so don’t start speculating . I hung around for the second hour when Alex Albrecht from Revision3 joined in and we had a blast talking all things podcasting, MMO, and E3.

The audio is available without commercials in both MP3 and OGG here:

Hour 1 MP3
Hour 2 MP3

Hour 2 OGG

Thanks go to Carey Holtzman and Computer America for having us on, the fans for calling in, and Alex Albrecht for being cool (especially with the diggnation and the broken parodies).

Hak.5 will be on the Computer America radio show with Craig Crossman and Carey Holzman this Friday night (May 19th) at 10pm EST (-5 GMT)/ 7pm PST. Computer America is “America’s longest-running nationally syndicated radio talk show about computers”. You can tune into the radio broadcast if it’s carried in your area or listen to the Internet stream.

I’ll make the MP3 available here on Saturday. This is a live call in show so feel free to join in!
