MER Episode 14 – Crackpots of The Old Republic
With Con season right around the corner, the news from Bioware has just barely been trickling out. But that’s okay! With a month break from the show, we’ve had plenty of news pile up to talk about including a new Holonet entry, a Dev Blog on the Sith Inquisitor, and the newly announced playable planet, Taris! It’s not all news either, as we launch into an epic speculation rabbit hole about the nature of the Spring 2011 release announcement. You won’t want to miss it!
Also, we want to extend a huge thanks to JThompson6577, DEDMON5811 (who left a seriously hilarious review and has been active in the forums as well), and Peterisjustok for taking the time to leave us reviews on iTunes!

Love the show guys, some other ToR podcasts out there have a tendency to be a bit silly and goofy – u keep it pro and serious.
Keep up the great work – even if we have to wait another year for this game. It better be worth it!
And BTW LOVED the intro for this show – my favorite films: Indy, SW and Back to the Future where included. It brought a big smile on my face as I was driving home from work for a well earned the weekend. Great stuff!
Have a good weekend!

i agree..with Jacob… i hate the goofy Marx brothers routine style of pod casts.”& why does it have to do with star wars like Yivvits and Mr. Bubble.” Just fucking shoot me.” not funny just annoying.and yeah i know its not the same game but the same principle remains. anyway keep it up. love ya guys. wish we can get a new podcast sooner but what can ya do when bioware has nothing to dish out. anywhoo … looking forward for the next show..cant wait,
