The Lincolncast Episode 17: Sink or Swim

The Lincolncast, Episode 17 for the week of August 19th 6 days to go. 6 days to go! We spend this ep. chatting about what we've been doing to carry us through these last few breaths before the big plunge, followed by a lengthy discussion about how we think Guild Wars 2 will fare over the next 9 months. Will the game sink or swim? Don't come in expecting a fanboy-fest, we're surprisingly level headed about the entire affair. Music: "The Pentagon" by The Hamster Alliance Featured Members: selfconfessedcynic , No0b0rAmA , Dourin , Shinboy630, Zoomyramen Run time: 3:27:33 Topics for the week:

• We're still planning on podcasting live every week, Fridays at 9PM US Eastern (unless otherwise stated)
• For the first half hour  Dourin explains his many failings, Noob creeps us all the way out, Zoomy's been hanging out with some dude named Wei and Shinboy really likes skull masks.
• This week in news, crazy old Blizzard's at it again, Arenanet is one massive troll and more stress tests!
• We put our speculation hats and boxing gloves on for this week's discussion: "Will Guild Wars 2 be successful?"
• Tune in for our guesses at initial sales figures, what the likely challenges are in the near future and what we expect from the game 9 months down the line.

Plugs!
