Quick! Think manly thoughts! Nachos! Baked beans! Football! Hockey! Frats!!!!

Nah, I'm just kidding. Great podcast, and the guests hosts did a great job.

Edit: Hmm... I should probably post something that actually has meaning...

Honestly though, I really felt that the hosts understood the community's feelings towards the game. Especially in regards to the patch, hit the nail on the head with that discussion. I think the added perspective of more hosts made it easier to get quick comments on all of the little things we've been griping about.

I took the liberty of doing a promo for this podcast... (if by some odd occurrence someone read my blog before reading your website O.o) hope you don't mind!

I remember a while back, i'll have to find this information later, about female chosen. It was said that the chosen female just didn't look right. I believe the best image would be the look of Mrs. Olympus. Extremely muscular and very small boobs...from which again still looks like a man. A feminine chosen wouldn't really distinguish itself either since they are fit ENTIRELY in armor so there would be no difference between a male and female chosen. There would be no curves at all, but a solid block of metal/armor. I think that many people have somewhat the image of previous MMO female tanks in their mind, but in complete armor....which wouldn't really fit a chosen.

I think it is just a matter of time before they find the right look for a chosen female. We already have 2 male only classes in the Chaos army.

Was this post slightly sexist?
....yes...yes it was.

You have a point the a female chosen would not be very distinguish-able from the male one other then the title "female" chosen. I was happy that atleast one of them had common sense but then through it out the window with a comment that contradicted what she said before. Reason why I love Warhammer online is because 80% lore 20% actually mmorpg. I loved hearing that I wouldn't have have to deal with seeing my friends playing female orcs because it makes no sense. the greenskins are spores they have no sex they are just big hulks and small gimps. I really don't see any point in arguing about sex in this game because the game is more about War! and not about feeling comfortable with a big boobed wide butt character =/ I don't like playing a witch elf because i feel less manly but i like it anyway.... I didnt like this pod cast at all nothing but inside jokes and stating the obvious.
