I predict that this will be our most popular episode of Office Chat to date. There's just something about this one which really grabs your attention. I think it's probably Dale's eyes. They're like oceans I could get lost in forever.

In this installment, I'm joined by Dale North and the lovely Tara Long as we lament the fact that BlizzCon is skipping a year. At least one of us is disappointed. Witness the stuff we've been getting in the post recently, including review copies of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and the new Mad Catz MLG controller, though observe that there's some disparity in terms of the quality of our mail. And finally, Dale offers a can't miss, party pleasing recipe for margaritas with some less traditional ingredients.

Regarding what Tara is saying about the Blizzcon wont have nothing intresst to show 2013 may not be sure. Cause what i remember from looking to the supposedly time table leaked there is one remaining expansion yet to be released and also this project titan witch rumored started at 2009 can supposedly be shown at Blizzcon 2013. So 1 more WOW Expansion and maybe this Project Titan would be the news at 2013 Blizzcon. What i also believe will be shown is the features for Diablo 3 to consoles.

Great as always! Nice to see Tara joining in. Also, I really want to see Chad in one of these.

That's either an episode number thing, or some sort of secret code to win the grand prizetoid.

Oh my fucking god. I hate that margarita recipe. This is how you do it.

1 part tequila (preferably something better than Jose)
2-3 parts frozen lime concentrate (or margarita mix) to taste
1/2 part Grandma or Cointreau (or triple sec for cheapos)

Shake or blend with ice, as preferred. Garnish rim with salt and a lime wheel or wedge.

Einstein the Corgi was in the episode. I can confirm that this will be the most popular episode of Office Chat.

I want to trade mail for a day! Tara was surprised about fruit - I was surprised about corgis!

Hopefully Reckoning is much more stable than the demo (framerate, audio glitches, conversation wheel glitches).

I love the changing casts; it makes the different facets of the collective Dtoid seem more connected. I miss Grim's infectious laughter and beaming smile, though.

Great show on its own rights, and perfect companion to Dtoid Show!
