Thursday Sep 19, 2013
Tune in to check out the second recording done on Friday the 13th, with Thurbs and a rag tag crew of miscreants actually talking about Guild Wars 2 for about an hour and a half. Or at least, they told me that's what happened, but I swear there were mentions of Jean Claude Van Damme in there... or something. I don't know, find out for yourself in the latest episode of The Lincolncast!!

The Lincolncast Episode 53: Wavy Hands
Monday Aug 26, 2013
Monday Aug 26, 2013
(GW2 talk runs till 1h 28mins) This episode is another surprisingly on-topic one where we chat about the rather pleasant recent content update to GW2 and the great new direction Arenanet went with the tone of it. We follow that up with a retrospective/predictions topic regarding storytelling in GW2, where it's been, where it's going and what we'd like to see more of. Finally, we've all been playing a bunch of games and Noob has a bone to pick with Elysium!
- The Closing Ceremony is one of the best additions to GW2 in a while from a story POV.
- We chat about how it worked / didn't work and if we'd like to see more of this.
- We touch upon the other changes in this update briefly before launching into our main topic: Storytelling in GW2
- Should GW2 stay black and white or "go grey"?
- after 1:28h we move on to what we've been watching and playing (including Divekick and more Gone Home, Tales of Xillia and the original Bioshock).
- Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is coming to Steam and PS3 on September 3rd (pushed back on Steam).

(GW2 talk runs till 51mins) Tune in for our surprisingly on-topic first hour where we chat about the recent content update to GW2 in which some trends strongly continue and others are bucked!! We start out quite critical, but in all the Queen's Jubilee seems really cool. Aside from that, Noob has been reading, we've all been playing a bunch of games (including Papers Please and Tales of Xillia) and more!
- The Queen's Jubilee: continuing old trends
- BUT the combat is pretty cool
- PvP changes seem to be good? Probably?
- aaaaand after 51 mins we move on to what we've been playing, watching and reading.

The Lincolncast Episode 51: Upbeat
Tuesday Jul 23, 2013
Tuesday Jul 23, 2013
Almost as if we were making up for lost time, the vast majority of this episode actually involves Guild Wars 2. We temporarily return to our old format of mixing in off topic between GW2 topics, so tune in to hear all our thoughts on Colin's massive "Looking Ahead" post and the various things it touches upon combined with ruminations on Steam Cards, Deus Ex: The Fall, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Torchlight 2, and more.
- The whole episode is pretty much dedicated to Colin's Looking Ahead post.
- We talk about almost everything in it. Seriously.
- What does that mean? Well, changes to PvE, 2 week updates, Achievements, sPvP changes, WvW changes, new skills and traits and more.
- Oh, and I guess I should note that we're generally pretty darn positive about the whole thing.
- We also talk about what we've been playing between major GW2 segments (Steam Cards, Deus Ex: The Fall, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Torchlight 2 and more).
- Stay tuned on the Giant Bomb store for Ryan Davis memorial stuff to help out his family (currently pulled due to logistical issues)
- DO NOT BUY R.I.P.D. The Game.
- Thurbs plugged Wooden Potatoes for some reason (GW2 lore extraordinare). youtube.com/WoodenPotatoes
- The imnotasexist.com domain name totally seems to be free.

The Lincolncast Episode 50!!
Monday Jul 15, 2013
Monday Jul 15, 2013
(GW2 talk runs till 58mins) It's episode 50!! We needed to set the time aside at the top to talk about Ryan Davis (well, I let the others do the talking), but aside from that, we do manage to talk about GW2 a bit in the first half. Mainly it's to do with the cool new updates, announcements about a 2-week new-content cycle, etc. Then we vent about Pacific rim before hitting the meat of the show with that previously-announced special gameshow segment, hosted by Noob.
- We dedicate this episode to Ryan Davis and talk about our feelings on the matter
- GW2 is going to get 2 week updates
- Bazaar is an awesome update.
- Pacific Rim (with minimal spoilers even though we do a spoiler warning)
- The game show! (it's actually ended up both fun and neck-and-neck)
- Stay tuned on the Giant Bomb store for Ryan Davis memorial stuff to help out his family (currently pulled due to logistical issues)
- Go to gaben.tv (the website), just go.
- Check out our twitch streams at twitch.tv/shinboy630 , /dourin and /thurbleton

The Lincolncast Episode 48: Sea of Ups and Downs
Sunday Jun 23, 2013
Sunday Jun 23, 2013
(GW2 talk continues until 57mins) Trying out another new format this week where we hit all the Guild Wars 2 stuff up front! Firstly, that Sea of Sorrows book is coming out, though I am personally apprehensive about the whole thing. End-of-June updates are the main focus, however, including the new dynamic event scaling system, updates coming to Orr, the custom arena roll-out, Sky Pirates and more! After the 57-min-mark we hit up what we've been playing including Remember Me and The Last of Us before finishing off the show with some thoughts about Microsoft's massive policy changes.
- Sea of Sorrows may or may not continue in the tradition of the other GW2 novels
- Orr is seeing some changes - but the new dynamic event scaling system actually has us excited!
- Fractal News!
- Custom Arenas are finally coming out of Beta!
- The new condition sounds awesome!
- Sky Pirates...!
- After 57 mins, we hit off topic.
- Planet Side 2 and Remember Me both seem cool
- I shout superlatives about The Last of Us
- Mad Max isn't Australian!?
- Xbox 180. I like the new meme and it's SO perfect right now.
- Check out David Perry's Ted Talk about the future of gaming
- The Giant Bomb PC Gaming Hub is still a thing.
- If you're into Double Fine, Brad Muir and Kickstarter - Massive Chalice is for you! Check out his awesome pimp video!
- I recommend two youtube videos regarding the Xbox One policy changes, the one by Boogie2988, and the other by Angry Joe

In the first half, we chat about the WvW statements released by Anet, Secret of Southsun winding down, Dragon Bash, Shoutcasting PvP and Templates returning, whilst mixing in a healthy amount of off-topic (mainly in the form of the indie games we've been playing).

- Squiddle loves Dust: An Elysian Tail and I loooove To The Moon

- ... but mainly it's a sobering look into what the dark future for gaming might be.
