The WoW Insider Show went on the air last weekend, and despite the fact that we started out down two voices, the discussion was fast and furious, as we all had plenty to say about patch 3.3 and specifically the Dungeon Finder system. Adam Holisky, Turpster, and I started off the show, and then Matthew Rossi muscled his way in (as only someone of his stature can do) to join us in discussion on finding dungeons, Authenticators and the Corehound Pups, and since Rossi made it, we had to talk some shaman and warriors as well.
Bad news, all: we didn't win the podcast award we were up for (congrats to the 4Player Podcast, who won the award and are now our sworn enemies -- we're igniting the rivalry!). But as we say on this show, we'll still be doing the bedtime story for you all anyway, just because you're so great. And yes, above is the check I'm mailing to Turpster for guessing the patch 3.3 release date correctly -- don't let it ever be said that we here at WoW.com aren't men of our word.

I wouldn't feel too bad about losing the award...I imagine having two WoW-specific podcasts probably hurt both you and the Instance. Were it either-or, I wonder how different it would have come out, if it would have...
a.) I'm voting that your middle name is Oliver or Ogden - either are very dignified b.) You need prettier checks - they are way to boring. I vote for either My Little Pony checks or maybe Hello Kitty. That being said Blizzard should offer WoW designed checks or even figureprints could do figurechecks - oh yeah I would order them
Enjoyable show. Perhaps too many people in it though, because it was a bit crazy with people interrupting others. Enjoyed the dialog though once i was able to wrap my head around switching who's trying to say stuff.

I like how he covered it up on the top left but left his signature alone.

Fact: Most people don't use checks all that often these days. Automatic bill-pay, check cards, online payments, etc. Why bother with paper?

Stupid comment system, that was supposed to be a reply to Wrox above.

Wow Mike.
1) Photoshop is better than tape
2) You have the handwriting of a 4 year old.
Cataca Dec 15th 2009 3:50PM
Yeah, just tell Cat Schwartz from TechTv that.
She used photoshop to crop out her breasts on a nude photo and then posted the edited pic on her blog.
But she didn't know that the image contained hidden Exif thumbnail images of the un-edited photo. Good times...

I'm gonna bet Michael Q Shramm is left-handed.
Heck, I'll bet 20 bucks on it.
