    Dec 22 2023

    Uncover the secret sauce of gaming mastery that Jimmytherabbit brings to the table in our latest Strain 88-KMB episode. We dive headfirst into the unpredictable world of randomizer mods in The Secret World, where Jimmy's Dark Agartha escapades redefine the meaning of in-game challenge. Not just a walk in the virtual park, we also peel back the layers of community dynamics in MMOs—revealing how the online bonds are just as intricate and heartwarming as any real-world connection. 

    The conversation takes a turn into the technical trenches, where Two-Ton Waffle and I share our battle stories against the streaming gremlins that seek to thwart our broadcast. From microphone meltdowns to software scuffles, experience the raw and unfiltered side of podcasting that usually stays behind the scenes. Yet, it's not all glitches and gaffes; rejoice in the camaraderie as we highlight the latest gaming rigs and the dedication of our listeners who make every hiccup worth the hassle. 

    Cap off the episode with a reflective look at the industry's latest shifts—Joshua Alan Doetsch's homecoming to Funcom and the ripples of restructuring resonating through the gaming world. Whether you're a veteran gamer or a newcomer to the digital domain, this episode promises to whisk you away on a journey through the holiday traditions of the MMO universe, the spooky undertones of the winter season, and the continued legacy of The Secret World. So, please pull up a chair, and let's toast to the shared adventures and misadventures that unite us all in the grand game of life.

    In this episode of "The Zero Point Report," we dive into the latest updates and releases in the gaming world. First off, we have Jimmy, who recently completed a 24+ hour gaming stream for Extra Life Day. He played the Funcom MMOs, Anarchy Online, and Age of Conan Unchained, as well as Secret World Legends. Tune in to hear about his unique mod-related hijinks and the possibility of winning some prizes!

    Next up, we have an exciting TTRPG update for all you Secret World backers. Ross Watson provides an end-of-month update on the layout progress of the core book, art book, and stretch goals. Once the rough layout is approved by Funcom, you'll have the opportunity to provide feedback and corrections. We can't wait to get this book in your hands!

    Moving on to Conan Exiles, get ready for the release of Chapter 3, "Age of War," on December 14th. Andy B., Dennis Douthett (Lead Designer), and Nicole (Spynosaur) recently had a livestream discussing the major features of this chapter. Expect an epic Fortress Assault, where you can finally experience the thrill of besieging castles yourself. You'll also have the chance to open your own tavern and hire NPCs as guards or workers. Plus, there's a Battle Pass, Bazaar Cosmetics, and some surprises in store!

    If you're a fan of Dune, we have some exciting news for you. Dune Spice Wars is now available on PC Game Pass, and it will soon arrive on Xbox Series X|S on November 28th. Immerse yourself in the world of Dune and experience the spice wars firsthand.

    Lastly, get ready for Dune Awakening, as the first Closed Beta signups have been announced. The game is in development and the team is seeking player feedback to further enhance the gaming experience. If you're interested in participating in the closed beta tests, make sure to sign up on the official website and join the official Discord for more updates.
