Show notes originally posted by Nevik
In our 96th episode, Nevik is rejoined by both of his co-joeys while our 4th Musketeer was unable to make it. After catching up with Breja and Jen we get straight to business and talk about what we’ve been up to: Jen finished the first chapter of the Season Journey, Breja is feeling the power creep, and Nevik had to rebuild his monk aftering RIP’ng in a GR45.
In this episode:
- We received an audio from our good friend from across the pond Kherova. Listener participation has been absolutely amazing and is primarily why we do this show, so keep them coming! We WILL get to all the emails we receive, even if occasionally we have to push a few to the next episode. Send in your stories of RNGesus triumph to Show@ShatteredSoulstone.com!
- We received a huge amount of tweets from @Kherova, @Screech79, @Reichsbrenner, @Walkman8, @HomeTownHero008, @Cybrwolf0, @MikeGeorge83, @Hawgeye_CTR, @EYedgar0111, and @_Damarai. Thank you for your tweets. Don’t forget that you, too, can send in your thoughts via social media outlets such as Facebook, Google+, and Twitter.
- Have you had any amazing success stories with the Hope of Cain recipe? We inquired on Twitter how what amazing legendaries you’ve transmuted from the cube. Be sure to follow the show account, @ShatteredStone, on Twitter for future Questions of the Show.
- Season 4 is in full swing and we share all of our seasonal exploits – though not that kind of exploit, which sadly there is. Will this newest exploit completely taint the season? Or will Team 3 bring down swift retribution upon those maliciously exploiting?
