AFS INTEL REPORT (Main Topic):This broadcast is a bit different as it is OOC and I cover a bit about your host, Andrew E. Konietzky. I go over my other sites and my podcasting roots, and how I came to this spot in podcasting. Be sure to visit my personal site, Cranial Jacks and Converse, my audio blog, Neuro's Toxin, and my original fiction site Cortical Seizures. Share and Enjoy.DEBRIEFING (News):The meat of this broadcast is my issues and complaints with TR. As I reach level 30 which technically is the powers/abilities cap of this MMO, I talk about the ongoing borked issues such as Missions, Content, etc. Overall, I hope that TR is going to have a very strong dedicated community. Sometimes those make the best gaming experiences. COMM SIGNALS (Rumors & Gossip):Now there is a report saying the TR is a financial failure and NCSoft is downsizing the Austin office. Does this mean TR is going bye bye. Who knows but it worries me due to bugs, content, and other things. Recently there was talk of some of the largest Clans currently leaving also due to lack of endgame content.MAIL CALL (Community Morale):I discuss the Poll from last week concerning "Should the SITREP be a biweekly show due to sever lack of news or information?" and mention the new poll running this week about your 30+ endgame experiences.LOCK & LOAD (Tips & Tactics):Nothing this week.FOOTLOCKER (Gear & Equipment):Thanks goes out to BAHernandez from the Pegasus server for making this kick-ass AFS Signature Generator. Be sure to get your sigs made ASAP.SOUNDS FROM HOME (Earth Music):We have been getting this really freaky signal for the last two weeks. We have yet to lock down where it is coming from but the name Beeblebrox keeps coming up. Give it a listen yourself.Live forever Apes... DISMISSED!Special thanks to the soldiers that keep fighting to give us a new home from the Bane.Additional broadcast content provided by Captain Furster, the 42nd Improbability Squad, and the men & women in the field.

AFS INTEL REPORT (Main Topic):Just relaxing in the Swamp with Jerry, and having a few drinks. Not much going on this week, other then me being forced to play babysitter for my Sleestak brother. ;)DEBRIEFING (News):Massively finds a rather nice alternate control scheme in TR for some folks. I will be giving it a whirl myself too.COMM SIGNALS (Rumors & Gossip):I discuss a couple of very interesting posts from PlanetTR concerning in-game titles, and the somewhat useless role of Healers now. PlanetTr is really the ONLY forums you need to check for all your TR news. Thanks to Kavadas and Sansker for their great posts.MAIL CALL (Community Morale):Has a great conversation with fellas that go "Behind the Front Lines" each week from PlanetTR! I also discuss the Poll from last week concerning Patch 1.4 and mention the new poll running this week.LOCK & LOAD (Tips & Tactics):Jerry takes the broadcast for a drive when he gives you a bit of history about the Foreans.FOOTLOCKER (Gear & Equipment):There is a stunning Item crafting proposal, posted by Line on the PlanetTR forums this week. Great discussion going on there.SOUNDS FROM HOME (Earth Music):I dedicate another song this week to my Sleestak brother, Jerry. Sorry you got lost in this land with me. Take care, Bro.Live forever Apes... DISMISSED!Special thanks to the soldiers that constantly keep our bases and outposts safe from the Bane...

AFS INTEL REPORT (Main Topic):Communications on the volatile planet of Arieki are important to AFS operations, which explains why there are so many facilities dedicated to them. Like the large relay tower in Torden Plains, it seems the Incline has an entire facility dedicated to passing on vital messages. Unfortunately it seems the Bane have not only assaulted, but overrun the Comm Tower east of the Nyxroq Outpost and it's going to be up to you and your team to take it back.Before you begin, make sure to head to Nyxroq Outpost to grab up a few missions, and Ten Ton Hammer Division has all the information for you.DEBRIEFING (News):The latest patch has everyone in a frenzy. Attribute improvements, Armor changes, new Hybrid races and more have players crunching numbers and working to figure out the perfect set up for their characters. Tabula Rasa isn’t all about the mechanics of the game, however. A few important changes have been made to keep the aesthetics fresh, and the roleplaying fun. COMM SIGNALS (Rumors & Gossip):Rumor has it that NCsoft is ramping up TR community interaction with the introduction of Ambassadors to various forums. Kagasumi is the first to make posts regarding this community movement.MAIL CALL (Community Morale):The recent poll was about Which DNA is for your mixing Pleasure? The poll for this next week is about your thoughts on the 1.4 Patch. The Foreas Base Tavern Roleplay that is held every Saturday Night on Pegasus/Divide/Instance 3 is ramping up with the head of the PlanetTR RP Event Team, Trevor Aragon. Ok folks, it's official... Sgt. Tamarin from the 42nd IS, has been selected as the new Alpha Wolf for the Sniper class on TR Vault. This week I cover everything from Crafting risk, Combat slowdowns, to the Hybrid fallout. If you're a number-crunching freak, TabulaSpot is the only dedicated mechanics community for you.LOCK & LOAD (Tips & Tactics):Due to the nightmare of working late in the Comm Tower, I bring you some tips on Warden Bots and Reconstructors. Not to mention, I ran into a reconstructed version of me. Freaky!FOOTLOCKER (Gear & Equipment):Make sure you head over and get your Recruit planned out the right way, with help from CryMore's TR Character Planning Tool.SOUNDS FROM HOME (Earth Music):This weeks selection is dedicated to Jerry... as being part of me has got to have him thinking of the a the Dumb Things that could happen now. Thanks to Paul Kelly for the great song.Live forever Apes... DISMISSED!Special thanks to the Foreans for giving me a weird Hybrid half-brother. As if being on another planet fighting aliens was not fricking WEIRD enough. Additional broadcast content provided by Captain Furster, the 42nd Improbability Squad, and the men & women in the field.

I have only been playing Tabula Rasa for a short time, but the RP involved in the game and this great in-character podcast is amazing. I cannot wait to hear more from the frontlines.
