Podcast Description
There comes a time, friends, when your favorite MMO ceases to sparkle, when even new videogames lose their luster, and the computer room becomes a prison; and all that is left are two gamers (who happen to be nuns) with a very large axe to grind. Come join Julie Whitefeather and Frances Kosac as they go to War - and along the way discuss the events of the week in the MMO industry.

CleanNo Prisoners, No Mercy - Show 34 | Those who have listened to our show have frequently heard it introduced by a woman with a delightful Irish brogue – that voice belongs to Emma Lloyd. Emma is a dear friend who was born in Ireland and lived in England during World War 2. While Emma has been a guest on the show before, this time we asked her to help us celebrate Memorial Day by sharing her memories of Ireland and England during the great “War to end all Wars.” As Emma shares with us during the interview, we pray that there will never be another war like WWII. As you will hear throughout the interview, Emma herself is a bit of living history. Notes to the interview: Among the many famous people that Emma met, one of them that she refers to is Queen Mary. The Queen Mary that she is referring to here is Mary of Teck, the Queen consort to King George V, Queen Mother of George VI, who was king of England during World War II. She also speaks of Margaret and Elizabeth. These are, of course, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, and her sister who is now Queen Elizabeth II of England. Both Margaret and Elizabeth remained in England during World War II, despite pressure from the British government to evacuate to Canada. The “Anthony Eden” she refers to is Robert Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon, who was the British Foreign Secretary between 1935 and 1955, including World War II. Anthony Eden later went on to become Prime Minister of England between 1955 and 1957. During the interview she refers to “Doodlebugs” – this was a common nick name for the V1 jet propelled bombs that Germany Launched at Britain during World War II.

CleanNo Prisoners, No Mercy - Show 7 | Show 7 of No Prisoners, No Mercy: We love war hammer. If we didn‘t we wouldn’t talk about it so much and play it for so many hours at a time. But if we point out some virtual snot dripping from Warhammer’s virtual nose it’s only because we love Mythic so much. 1.)

Drilling my own teeth - the cost of starting in a well established mmo 4.) Azeroth, The Barrens: home of the fastest dogs in the world - it’s a mile between trees 5.)

Tobold sells his soul for $15.00: Bottles and Blankies 10.) Making it accessible: Wow vs. War 11.) Crapfest Special note to Crapfest (and the reason this section is not called Brewfest): while this used to be our favorite WoW festival taking away the ability to earn a special mount with Brewfest games took all the fun out of it for us. | 9/24/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Pass me an ale and call me Holly.
Okay dont call me Holly call me Ceadrick. Nothing like having a good dwarven ale whilst listening to this gem of a podcast. The hosts are lively, fun and well informed. They have a chemistry between them almost as if they were sisters. I enjoy this podcast and I think you will too. They talk about Warhammer and World of warcraft as well as other MMO's. This podcast is not to be missed. Give it a listen.
Great stuff!
Awesome podcasts from people who like to game! Audio quality is great and frequency is awesome, I hope they continue to put this out for a long time.
Great Podcast
I listen to 10 hours of podcasting a day at work, and this podcast is one of the best. Full of humor and intelligence, if you are interested in MMOs then subscribe.
