December 02, 2014 19:52 - 1 hour - 65.7 MB

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Stop your crying, because STOS is back with another episode! Beleve it or not...stay with me on this one...Dahk's horrible cobbled together pile of rusty nails and batteries he calls a computer decided it wanted to take an extended nap this week, so he unfortunately had to use his tablet for a portion of this recording. We hope you'll excuse the random change in quality! I'm sure you wont be able to stay angry at the man as he adorably rambles at Indigo and Croog...

November 18, 2014 19:01 - 1 hour - 79.3 MB

Change is coming. Change is good. Change is here. Be thankful for what we have: a house to edit... to turn into a murder factory... and give thanks to all the prestige you get when you ran into the annoying little spellslinger who didn't get away this time. Those pistols look good in the foyer of your plot! Or give thanks to playing with the people you love and love hanging out with, or give thanks for getting getting a better change to get digitized into Datascape and take on the foulest den...

Strange Tales...After Dark. Bow-chick-a-brown-cow! Unfortunately, in our quest to improve ourselves, we had one more guest than we expected, by the name of Murphy. Murphy is a jerk. Messing with our audio levels, making weird pops, and demolishing Dahk's internet connection every few seconds...On the other hand,Fraya from Enigma found time to sit in after a raid session to give his thoughts on tanks, what it's like to be a guild leader, and guilds leaving or staying.

September 09, 2014 18:19 - 1 hour - 86.3 MB

Will we get sued if we finish that sentence? (YES -Croog) Crit Happens on Warbringer has come to an end...because Warbringer has effectively come to an end..

August 26, 2014 18:39 - 1 hour - 64.4 MB

Ahh, the eve's of a Drop when the news trickles in. The boys have stuff to talk about but nowhere to begin. Do they cover goodwill of man against disease? Or post up more rune changes, for all listeners to see? From the depths of datamining, new content does come, and the expectation is that it will surely be fun. So turn up your sound levels, make sure you can hear, for STOS is back with a new week and good cheer! (Omg, Dahk, you total goober -Croog) Links! Amazon makes googly eyes...

Defile PTR notes also drop showering some love on the red-headed step child called "Runes". Some deep thoughts go around in response to an NC Soft report, and there is a slight (not slight) discussion on the state of MMO's. All that and more this week on STOS!

Another week has gone by as we get ready for Sabotage to drop, but never fear, lots more happened in the past PTR that the crew brings up today. Each one swoons over something or someone...will their feelings be rebuked? What is making Croog so sad? (NOTHING -Croog) Is the dog plotting something nefarious?

July 22, 2014 17:41 - 1 hour - 83.3 MB

This week, the boys are joined by their first ever community guest, Dox! He is a role player on Evindra who takes time out of his night to give everyone a bit of insight on what it's like to RP, Wildstar style. The crew also dissect the PTR and Class Update notes, where they realize that customization may not always be the greatest choice, Medics are ready to wub wub all night long, and Dahk missed out on the chance of a life time (and will forever be a sub-par Spellslinger) Notes: PTR U...
