Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and Mrbubble!

Episode 99 - Mini Ross Perot

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:38:00 GMT

This is our last episode... before number 100! Heh, you were a little worried there huh! We recorded this show shortly before Yivvits was encased in carbonite for his flight to Las Vegas. Just as that block of carbonite encased Yivvits, this episode encases everything you love about Yivvits & MrBubble. Now that voice chat is live in SWG, MrBubble is finding out most of those woman he talks to might not be woman at all. Big surprise there. Also in this episode we chat with two of the best RP and event promoters in the game, our friend Sipam from Valcyn and the lovely Lona of Starsider!

Yivvits and MrBubble at Fan Faire 2008 - Podcast Discussion Panel

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 01:42:00 GMT

Yivvits and MrBubble took part in a podcasting discussion panel at SOE's Fan Faire 2008!

Episode 98 - "V" is for...

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 04:39:00 GMT

The ribbon banners are posted outside of the Theed Palace and that can only mean one thing, a new episode of SWGwYaMB! One question has been on everybody's mind lately: Is there going to be another Star Wars MMORPG? We call our pal Brent, host of the VirginWorlds podcast (www.virginworlds.com), to see what he thinks. (On a side note, he was right! Let this episode serve as a testament to his wisdom of the MMORPG world.) We also talk about some exciting things coming to SWG - the in-game browser and voice chat, big changes for munitions traders, and of course the recently announced SWG virtual trading card game, Champions of the Force!

Episode 97 - I'm Alan?

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 00:32:00 GMT

Hey, look at this! It's another episode of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! The longest running, best produced, most ribbon filled podcast focusing on Star Wars and SWG! MrBubble has been volunteering at the Minnesota Science Museum and recently had the chance to meet Anthony Daniels. Of course, being a fine ambassador for our state MrBubble just had to go and offend poor Mr. Daniels. Never trust a Sullustan to do a Wookiee's job.

Also in this episode, a former SWG developer has been trying to set the story straight about the now legendary NGE. We'll take a look at what he has to say and talk to a couple of listeners to hear what they think. Finally, just who IS Alan anyway?

Coming soon, Episode 97!

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 02:26:00 GMT

Listen... Do you hear that? That is the sound of a nearly two hour long episode of SWGwYaMB being processed. Coming soon to a digital media player near you - Episode 97.

Episode 96 - Minty

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Wed, 4 Jun 2008 01:51:00 GMT

Hello friends! June has arrived and with it another fine episode of everybody's favorite podcast, The Hello Kitty Kast... oh wait wrong game /wink. No, it's your pals Yivvits and MrBubble!

One of our callers in Episode 95 asked if Wookiees might become a mountable species (like a bantha or a swoop). This perked up Yoda's ears so we thought we'd better give that player a call this week. We continue to discuss the growing server population issue (no pun intended) and MrBubble checks out another server. Don't forget, we want to have some of YOU on our show! Listen for all the details. So fire up that Microsoft Zune, grab a box of Swiss Cake Rolls, and enjoy the show!

Episode 95 - Pizza for a Gungan

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 18 May 2008 06:16:00 GMT

Rejoice, for we once again are taking calls on the air! Yup, that's right, and our guest this week is a player you might remember from a previous episode. (We remember him because he delivers The Holy Food, sometimes referred to as "pizza".) Our pal Jar Jar has never eaten pizza so we try to help him determine what kind of pie to get. We also listen to some voicemails and one in particular catches Yivvits' attention. Finally, we wish our old pal Jason "Gnomish Steamfists Pex" Ryan well as he heads off to support an upcoming SOE title. As a added bonus, we speak out about SOE's decision to discontinue live event support in SWG.

Episode 94 - Hide that Backpack!

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 03:50:00 GMT

Welcome again to another fine installment of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! Game Update 3 is upon us and even though the focus is on Jedi and bounty hunters it might turn out to be Yivvits' favorite. Why? There are at least 4 reasons, but you'll just have to download and listen to find out! We answer a couple of listener e-mails and round things out with some great voicemail messages. More? More did you spake? Oh yes, but again, you'll just have to download and listen!

Episode 93 - Star Wars Galaxies: The Empire Strikes Back

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Wed, 2 Apr 2008 05:38:00 GMT

In this very special episode of SWGwYaMB we share with you what we think Star Wars Galaxies needs the most right now. It'll never really happen, but while recording we felt strangely warmed - there was a sort of electricity in the air. Some may say we were visited by the spirit of Yoda but whatever it was, even if for a fleeting moment, our vision of SWG felt real to us. We hope to share a little bit of that with you, so download and listen!

Episode 92 - Uncertainty is Your Enemy

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 01:00:00 GMT

This episode starts out with a continuation of our AFK play discussion. To Yivvits' surprise, MrBubble has redefined his stance on decay. Wonders never cease! After talking about some of the entertainer changes in Game Update 2 MrBubble has added additional storage droids to his data pad in order to store all the new ribbons he'll be crafting. We wrap things up with voice mail and a dialogue about what we believe to be SWG's biggest enemy right now. Believe it or not, we don't think it is a lack of content or empty servers.

Episode 91 - Baby Goals

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 01:45:00 GMT

Oh dear, oh dear... Apparently, Yivvits forgot to take his anti-rant medication and wouldn't you know it, the subjects of AFK play and decay pop up. MrBubble defuses the situation and we end up having a interesting discussion on those subjects. Some new entertainer stuff is coming in Game Update 2 and this has MrBubble waving ribbons like crazy! Of course our usual pals are with us in the studio, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Jar Jar, and we have a plethora of topics to discuss. Just a typical episode of SWGwYaMB!

Episode 90 - Little Miss Valcyn

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 05:52:00 GMT

The highly anticipated pageant is over and Elishen the Rebel Twi'lek was crowned Miss Valcyn 2008! Congratulations Elishen! Sadly, the pageant sponsors wouldn't let MrBubble participate (thank you to Kuat Yards for voting no!). Ever since SOE announced their plans to add voice chat to their games, MrBubble has been just a little worried about how all those lovely "female" entertainers he hangs around are going to sound. Thankfully, a honest to goodness female player left us a voicemail message; it made MrBubble feel a little better. Not a lot of game news this week, but somehow we managed to fill one and a half hours with SWG and SW goodness. It's a gift, and a curse.

Episode 89 - Tatooine Super Bowl CrÃ¨me Brule

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 07:42:00 GMT

MrBubble has had his first taste of gunboat combat, and MrBubble likes! Find out he likes about the latest addition to the game. Our in-game Super Bowl party was a big success and this week we'll give you all the details about the big screen TV, the Bothan baked beans, and the specially equipped restroom for Ithorians (don't ask). There's lots more in this episode including a bunch of voicemail! Enjoy!

Episode 88 - It's a Jedi Trait

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sat, 2 Feb 2008 01:41:00 GMT

So many exciting things to talk about this week! Chapter 8 is live and pilots everywhere are rejoicing, ground-pounders are trying their luck at the Imperial Star Destroyer heroic encounter, and most importantly - PvPers have a new favorite weapon, the deadly feather duster! We have a new studio guest this week, more of your voice mail to play, and find out we aren't the only SWG players in our home town.

Yivvits & MrBubble Special Edition - "We don't get it."

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 05:29:00 GMT

It's here! Chapter 8! We have so much to talk about... just not in this episode of the show. Last October the Family Guy aired a special Star Wars episode, Blue Harvest. If you've been listening to our show for a while you might already know this, but Yivvits & MrBubble aren't fans of Family Guy. However, seeing as this episode was about our favorite subject we had to check it out. In fact, we even made a mini-podcast episode out of the whole ordeal, and here it is! Only 3 months late!

Episode 86 - Merger? What merger?

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 03:51:00 GMT

Hah! Bet you weren't expecting a new episode so soon, but here it is! Recently while MrBubble was waving his ribbons in the cantina he overheard some people talking about "server merges" and how "dead the server is." We beg to differ! Listen and find out why. Also in this episode we play a whole bunch of great voicemail messages from our listeners, MrBubble tells us about his KOTOR adventure, and Yivvits gets excited for a new show on the FoodTV network, Aunt Beru's Kitchen.

Episode 85 - Yivvits & MrBubble Holiday Extravaganza 2007

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Wed, 2 Jan 2008 01:15:00 GMT

What a way to start off the New Year! Don't miss this, our THIRD annual Holiday Extravaganza podcast! It has everything you need to stay in that holiday mood for just a little longer: comedy, root leaf cider, Star Wars presents, ribbons, and of course - songs from the one, the only, the Star Wars Christmas album, "Christmas in the Stars!"

Season's Greetings from Yivvits & MrBubble!

Episode 84 - Utinni!

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 02:13:00 GMT

Congratulations! You have added Episode 84 to your Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble collection! Yes, Chapter 7 is live and Yivvits and MrBubble have been collecting all kinds of junk. In this episode we share some of the neat items we've found since the chapter went live. Yivvits located some messages for the voicemail collection, adds another item to his rant collection, and MrBubble nearly completes his pretty ribbon collection. Utinni!

Episode 83 - Yummy

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 5 Nov 2007 01:08:00 GMT

Welcome back for another installment of SWG with Yivvits and MrBubble! In this episode, Yivvits continues to talk about his pet bordok, Farnsworth. MrBubble babbles about some commercials he saw while watching a downloaded TV show (don't worry, Yivvits didn't get it either). We talk about space and one of our wishes for Chapter 8, play some more of your messages, and reveal our brand new toll-free voicemail number! Episode 83 will have you saying "Yummy!"

Episode 82 - Wiping the Slate Clean

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 19:54:00 GMT

In this episode we find out why everybody leaving the restrooms of the SOE offices has a little spring in their step. We finally get back to playing some of your voicemail messages and are surprised that one of them is from Watto (we just assumed he couldn't afford a phone). Also in this episode: MrBubble does combat, Yivvits rants about something, and a true story that reinforces the obvious fact that we truly are big Star Wars geeks.

Episode 81 - I Want a Pony

comments@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 20:41:00 GMT

Welcome back to another exciting new episode of SWGwYaMB; we're so glad you could join us! In this episode a couple of our very favorite past guests are back and one of them brought along an exciting new board game. Also in this episode, MrBubble discovers some wonderful new smells, Yivvits talks about his mutation difficulties, and we give a quick report on the recent "Sizzling Summer Crawl 2007" cantina crawl event!

Party Alert! Labor Day Podcast Party at a Special Time!

Mon, 3 Sep 2007 03:16:00 GMT

Monday September 3rd at 2pm Central Daylight Time there will be a Yivvits and MrBubble party on Valcyn! We don't have the location picked yet so check the SWG forums or our forums at http://www.yivvitsandmrbubble.com/ for more information (we'll post the location sometime Sunday evening).

This date and time is very exciting to us because it's Labor Day in America, so a lot of people will be off work, and 7pm or 8pm in Europe! Finally our European friends can be awake and coherant! (I don't know about the Dutch, though. I KEED, I KEED!!!)

Please feel free to forward this to guilds or friends and lets have some fun!

Your pals,
Yivvits and MrBubble

Episode 80.5 - Fan Faire Love Affair

Sun, 19 Aug 2007 06:45:00 GMT

Didn't get to SOE's Fan Faire 2007 in Las Vegas? No worries because we did and we're happy to tell you all about it! MrBubble didn't arrive until late Saturday but Yivvits was there from the first party to the final buffet. This was the very first time Star Wars Galaxies was officially included in the festivities at Fan Faire and already we can't wait for next year!

On the final night of the event we sat down and chatted with some of the folks who work on our favorite game: John Blakely, Chris Cao, Jesse "Loche" Benjamin, and Jason "Pex" Ryan. Finally, we round out the show with a couple of Star Wars Mad Libs.

Remember, what happens in Vegas... goes on our podcast!

Episode 79 - Fancy Buns

Sun, 15 Jul 2007 21:38:00 GMT

This episode was recorded during the week of the 4th of July holiday and how better to celebrate than to cook up some brats and enjoy the company of friends and family. Governor Tarkin and Princess Leia put aside their differences for one day and joined us in the studio. How civil of them! Yivvits has been quite a busy Wookiee the past few weeks engineering and raising his pets. MrBubble tells us about his wonderful neighbors; a story any self respecting Star Wars nerd will appreciate. All this and so much more!

Yivvits is attending the 2007 SOE Fan Faire in Las Vegas, August 2nd - 5th! Information about the Fan Faire can be found here: http://events.station.sony.com/fanfaire/

Episode 78 - A Song By Any Other Name

Sun, 1 Jul 2007 21:38:00 GMT

Kick off your shoes and push back the recliner because it's time for another episode of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! Is it possible? Is it true? Has Yivvits actually been playing the game more again? It is true, it IS true! We're both really upbeat about the direction Chapter 6 is taking the game. However, we can't say the same for the SWG NFE, or "New Forums Experience." Mac guy stops by to tell us about a new venture his favorite company has entered into and it isn't the iPhone. Finally, we have an *exclusive* special treat for you - The Chapter 5 Missing Song! (And this time it's no joke!)

A hill, a quaint nearby town, green grass, and an incredible view. Are we describing an idyllic painting? Nope, this is the location of our next Yivvits and MrBubble Sunday party!

Episode 77 - Where Were You Thirty Years Ago?

Fri, 8 Jun 2007 21:32:00 GMT

Happy Birthday Star Wars! Why, it seems like only yesterday you were nothing more than a little twinkle in Baron Papanoida's eye. In this episode we reflect on our earliest Star Wars memories and experiences. After the trip down memory lane we listen to some great messages from you, our devoted listeners. Chapter 6 is finally live in SWG and that has a certain Count very excited. The feeling is mutual, as we are also very happy with where Chapter 6 is taking the game. Finally, Yivvits speaks his final peace on one of his biggest problems with SWG.

Episode 77 - More content than you can wave a popsicle stick at!

Podcast Party for Sunday, May20th 2007!

Sun, 20 May 2007 19:54:00 GMT

"What *IS* this place???"

I dunno where Yivvits finds these places - must be something with that Wookiee smell, I mean SENSE of smell. Join us in a gully between some mountains on Endor at the basecamp and follow the banners up the hill to the dancestage. Stop by and say hello to your friends and fellow players and have some laughs!

We expected CH6 to be out by now, so I'll say what we said last week: This is our last party UNTIL CHAPTER 6 COMES OUT. Hah.

WHEN: Sunday May 20, 2007 8PM Central
WHERE Valcyn, Endor, pick the Yivvits Camp from shuttle or head to waypoint 3597, 4939

Episode 76 - The Emperor, errr, The General's coming here???

Fri, 11 May 2007 17:01:00 GMT

We were recently thrilled to have our first in-studio guests! He is perhaps the busiest shipwright on Valcyn, XO of the 77th "Phoenix" Fighter/Bomber Wing, and a General in the mighty Rebel Alliance. He's Canaryville!

Canary and his wife made the long trip from Mos Pax on Tatooine to our studio on Talus and we can't thank them enough. We find out what drives Canary's passion for SWG, what he'd like to see happen in the game, and what some of his favorite Star Wars moments are. We're just happy Mrs. Canaryville put up with three really big dorks during the visit.

Also in this episode, Yivvits and MrBubble are starting to see a possible light at the end of the SWG dark tunnel. We take a moment to go over some of the more exciting things happening with the upcoming Chapter 6 publish including Count Dookey's favorite, BM, and Storyteller.

Podcast Party for Sunday, May 6th. 2007!

Sun, 6 May 2007 18:29:00 GMT

Yivvits and MrBubble Party "Templetime!!!"

The Jedi Ruins on Dantooine are famous for one thing - site of a previous party! We had such good memories of a previous party we are going to do it again, so head on over to Dantooine on Valcyn! The town of Hope is only about 200m away and has your closest shuttle.

Stop on by and say hello, climb the creepy stairs, and dance on the rock flooring with your fellow friends and players!

Episode 75 - Therapeutic Cleansing

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 15 Apr 2007 18:53:00 GMT

Every couple of months we like to have a nice purifying cleansing by asking ourselves, "Where is this bus going." Episode 75 is that cleansing. The episode started out normal enough (from a certain point a view). MrBubble, being the joker he is, has played another prank on Yivvits and also has a story that gives us hope for the next generation of Star Wars fans. What sort of fun things does Yivvits have to talk about? He complains about Windows Vista. Finally, we have a candid discussion about the hope (or lack thereof) we have for Star Wars Galaxies, and ask ourselves: "When is enough, enough?"

Yet again, not a lot to discuss about Star Wars Galaxies this week (we recorded before Thunderheart announced his resignation) but never to fear - Yivvits and MrBubble *always* deliver. Even better, our pointless ramblings almost always tie into Star Wars or SWG.

Our forum migration is complete! Yay!

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 20:26:00 GMT

Our community forums site relocation is all done. Everything went great! If by some rare chance you forgot the URL for our forums, here it is: http://www.yivvitsandmrbubble.com/.

Episode 74 - Her

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 2 Apr 2007 03:17:00 GMT

Some weeks we have lots to talk about, others not so much. This is one of those "light" weeks yet somehow we churned out a 50 minute show. Amazing, isn't it? We have a very, very special guest in the studio this week; you won't want to miss our eye-opening conversation. MrBubble brings back one of our old (and favorite) bits, The Mystery Brown Paper Bag. What nasty drink or snack is he trying to serve Yivvits this time?

Even when there isn't a lot of SWG news you can be sure we'll keep you entertained. At the very least we'll entertain ourselves!

Podcast Party! Sunday April 1st, 2007

Mon, 2 Apr 2007 00:44:00 GMT

Back to Talus we go, near a POI for The Lost Village of Durbin" (get your badge!). While perhaps not as geographically interesting as last week's party, our new sponsors "Talus Wireless" requested this location as they are considering building a holotower nearby.

So stop by and greet your SWG friends, enemies, and those you're not sure of yet (hopefully leaning towards friends). There will be dancing, music, and an inspiring reading by Yivvits of the classic Wookiee inspirational book "Who Moved My Meattrap?"

WHEN: Sunday April 1st, 2007 8PM CST to 10PM CST OR LONGER (MrBubble has a salon appointment at 10pm for his toenails, so he's going to leave promptly)

WHERE: Valcyn, Talus, near waypoint 4430, 353 [Nearest shuttle is Draicco, maybe Yivvits's Camp, too]

Hope to see you there on Talus!
Your pals,
Yivvits and MrBubble

"Talus Wireless: We're Still With You!"

Party tonight! Sunday, March 25th 2007

Sun, 25 Mar 2007 22:54:00 GMT

"Corellian Swamp Gas"

No, that's not a Wookiee you're smelling, it's the smell of swamp gas, and there's plenty of it at this week's Yivvits and MrBubble party location! We were here last May, and decided to come back because the terrain was so interesting! (plus MrBubble still had the window sticker for the Corellian National Parks in his AB-1).

Stop on by and say hi, inhale the invigorating swamp gas fumes of Corellia and greet your fellow players!

NOTE: An extra hour is on the front-end of this party... this one starts at 7PM Central Standard time.

WHEN: Sunday March 25th, 2007 *7 PM CST till whenever*
WHERE: Valcyn, Corellia near waypoint 971, 4572
[Shuttle goes directly to camp - look for "Yivvits Camp"]

Hope to see you there in the nature-made hot tubs of the Corellian Swamps!

Your pals,
Yivvits and MrBubble

Episode 73 - Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, or Suzy-Q's?

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 04:02:00 GMT

Well looky here... Seems that your old pals Yivvits and MrBubble are at it again! This week we discuss the finer points of naming a new profession in SWG after the abbreviation for the medical term of a bodily function. We aren't the only ones amused by grade school bathroom humor as our favorite Count joins in the fun. Also this week, we read you the Star Wars limericks we posted in Virrago's St. Patrick's Day thread, listen to some voicemails, and find out which Hostess product Obi-Wan craves the most.

Party tonight! Sunday, March 18th 2007

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 23:56:00 GMT

Dantooine... it's on Dantooine! w00t!

Good evening campers! This week's party was a no-brainer: We just hooked on to the fabulous party that Odessia and her able-bodied crew have cooking on Dantooine. (What's that??? A kissing booth? Oh dear, oh dear.) Stop on by and say hi and give your fellow players a pat on the back or poke in the ribs, whichever. Or ye olde spin/twirl/toss (a MrBubble specialty).

WHEN: Sunday March 18th, 2007
*** 8 PM CENTRAL till whenever ***

WHERE Valcyn, Dantooine, near waypoint -1874, 4582

Hope to see as many there as possible, should be fun!

Your pals,
Yivvits (clumpy-haired wookiee) and MrBubble (Ol' Sloppychops)

No party tonight, Sunday March 11th 2007

Sun, 11 Mar 2007 21:04:00 GMT

Sorry folks, some relatives from Kashyyyk are visiting me this weekend and MrBubble is on official Imperial business. If you're in a party mood though check out the cantinas and see what's happening. Also, check the player events threads for your galaxy; you never know what might be going on!

See you soon!

Yivvits and MrBubble Party for Sunday, March 4th 2007

Hello Campers! We just can't get enough of these "new" camps in Chapter 5, so join us Sunday night for the same kind of quality entertainment - for example, pin the tail on the Bothan - you've grown to expect.

This time the party will be way out in the woods of Yavin IV. Scary? No way! Not with all the CL90 Entertainers protecting you! (hah).

WHEN: Sunday, March 4th
TIME: 8PM CST till 10PM CST "AT LEAST"... hopefully longer!
WHERE: Valcyn, Yavin IV, around WP 5467, 5448

ON THE SHUTTLE MAP - You can shuttle RIGHT TO IT by selecting "Yivvits's Camp!" (We still can't get over how cool that is!)

Stop on by! Your pals,
Yivvits and MrBubble

Episode 72 - Chapter 5 is Alive!

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 06:40:00 GMT

Need input? How about a new episode of SWG with Yivvits & MrBubble! After a very long wait crafters and entertainers have finally been "taken care of!" This week we fill you in on what we think about Chapter 5 so far, MrBubble tosses around a few dice, and Yivvits has something of a grand maul rant about a bug he recently discovered. Is that all? Heck no, but why should we spoil the fun. Download right now and enjoy the show!

Party going on, right now!

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 02:04:00 GMT

Yivvits and MrBubble party for Sunday, February 25, 2007

Good evening campers! Here it is another Sunday! Life has sure changed for everyone; in fact, you could say we've entered a new CHAPTER of our lives! Come hang out with us and talk about Chapter 5, Build-a-buffs, or Wookiee Management. Just about anything!

The party is on beautiful Naboo, amidst the grass and hills and flowers... and all that crap. (Oh look over there! A sith and a princess tumbling down a hill!)

Episode 71 - At the Peak of the Summit

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 07:15:00 GMT

Finally, the end is in sight and before you know it those withdrawal symptoms will be all cleared up! Your dose of vitamins Y and MB are only a click away!

As you may or may not know, we recently attended the SOE Influencers Summit in San Diego. In this episode we give you a play-by-play of the time we spent with the other attendees and SOE staff. Also, since we weren't able to get there until the 2nd day of the event we summarize what we *would* have said. Finally, we have a fun interview with Star Wars Galaxies' very own Loche, Pex, and Virrago!

Enjoy!

The show, the show! I need my fix!

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 15:58:00 GMT

Hey all you wonderful people! We are still hard at work putting together our SOE Influencer's Summit special edition podcast. We know the waiting is difficult and the withdrawal symptoms are dreadful. Just hold out a little longer! You can do it!

Episode 70 - Darby Darby Darby?

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 04:47:00 GMT

Here's your fix of YaMB! This week's show features some... interesting... side-track discussions. MrBubble talks about the fun event he's attending later in the evening. After MrBubble cracks a joke at the expense of our good friend Count Dooku, Yivvits has a rather severe fit of laughter. As an extra-special ultra-exclusive treat we listen to some new music from Chapter 5. We also listen to more messages from our listeners and try to figure out just what *is* the future of Star Wars Galaxies. Enjoy!

Episode 69 - What would Larry do?

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 05:53:00 GMT

Here it is! The first full length episode of 2007! We grabbed all 68 of our previous shows and dumped them into our new podcast reverse engineering tool. Just a few quick clicks and the tool spit out the best (worst?) bits of quality from each show. Finally, we applied those bits to this episode. It's all very complicated, but episode 69 sports some nice stats: +40 Geekyness, +15 Hair Product Control, and +22 Rantyness.

Enough chatter; you're probably wondering what's in this episode. MrBubble wonders how our in-game characters affect us in real life, and vice versa. We listen to a stack of voicemails, talk about the upcoming trader changes, and chat about our trip... Ooo, you're just going to have to listen to find out about that one!

Episode 68 - For you and a friend!

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 18:12:00 GMT

Creating our Holiday Extravaganza totally drained us of energy. Yet, somehow we put together this "mini-episode" of the show! We take this opportunity to do a little housekeeping. MrBubble tells us about his own "Secret Santa" experience and we give you some insight into how we came up with the SOE Secret Santa bit for our Holiday Extravaganza. (Which you should download right now if you haven't yet!)

Episode 67 - Yivvits & MrBubble Holiday Extravaganza 2006

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 22:50:00 GMT

During this holiday season we spend time with our friends and family, celebrate religious events, and or look forward to a certain jolly elf to bring us gifts (no, not Brenlo :p). There's one other thing needed to really put you in the holiday spirit... The "Yivvits & MrBubble Holiday Extravaganza 2006" podcast!

This year we revisit our favorite (and only) Star Wars Christmas album. Listen along as 3PO teaches R2 how to sing, the workshop droids finally figure out what to get a Wookiee for Christmas, and 3PO performs a thoughtful reading of "Twas the Night Before Christmas."

Most large companies have some sort of holiday gathering and we assumed SOE is no different. Our assumptions were confirmed when we obtained a super top-secret recording from the event. Smed and Helios exchanged "Secret Santa" gifts; need we say more?

We sum up our personal feelings about SWG for 2006 and discuss what we'd like to see happen with the game in the coming year. Finally, we exchange gifts and are humored (or possibly horrified) that we both got each other... Nah, you'll just have to listen to find out!

Happy Holidays,
Yivvits & MrBubble

Episode 66 - Yivvits and MrBubble at Tanagra

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 18:58:00 GMT

This is it! Our final "normal" episode of 2006! (normal for us anyway) As usual, we discuss a plethora of topics this week. MrBubble gives us some tips on decorating with your holo-emitters and raves about his G15 keyboard. Yivvits goes on and on about bugs (nothing new there) and enlightens MrBubble on the subject of "the rate of movement in SWG." Some of you have been asking about the enigma that is "Episode 63" and this week we shed some light on the episode that must not be named. More? More did you spake? There is more, but for that you need to download the show!

Episode 65 - Wat? Is that you?

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 20:51:00 GMT

Welcome to another episode of SWGwYaMB! It's been a rather uneventful week for both of us yet somehow we popped out this hour long beauty. We talk about Life Day 2006, listen to a few voicemails, and catch you up on what we've both been doing. Inspired by Yivvits' shader quest, MrBubble has started a pursuit of his own: Droids can't be called in structures. He'll fill us in on what he's done so far. Our guest this week is none other than angry teenage Anakin. He's just so angry; we think he needs a hugâ or some anger management.

Enjoy this jocular and lighthearted episode of YaMB!

Episode 64 - This Kool-Aid tastes funny...

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 4 Dec 2006 01:15:00 GMT

The wait is over! We know you've been starving for another episode and now you may partake in the feast that is Episode 64. While on a short vacation MrBubble stopped by the SOE offices in San Diego. What for? Did he survive? Was he brainwashed? He'll answer all of these questions, and more!

While MrBubble was busy charming SOE employees into giving him cookies and gummi worms, Yivvits made a breakthrough in his never-ending quest to figure out those broken shaders/textures. That's not all, he's also been playing another game and it isnât CoV.

Also this week, we cover a ton of random topics including gems like: more things we'd like to see fixed in SWG, Count Dooku's opinions on various things, and MrBubble's longing to be a fairy (in EQ2).

We'll be back from our break before you know it!

Tue, 21 Nov 2006 20:56:00 GMT

Hi everyone! Wanted to let you know that we are taking a short break for the Thanksgiving holiday. Our next episode is currently slated for the first weekend of December. If time permits we may do a quick one for next week. On the next episode MrBubble will tell us all about his trip to SOE in San Diego where he met Pex and Brenlo.

/yivvits (I'm a little worried... ever since he returned he keeps talking about EQ2 and telling everyone they should try it...)

Have a happy Thanksgiving! If you don't have Thanksgiving where you live, have a happy 3rd week of November! :)

Yivvits & MrBubble

Episode 62 - In the Garden of IKEA, the Beast Master waits

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Tue, 14 Nov 2006 17:59:00 GMT

You've been waiting so patiently and now you shall be rewarded! This week we touch the usual random subjectsâ Swedish meatballs at IKEA, the Books of Yivviticus and Bubbleations, kitty lawyer, Pledge. Oh, I almost forgotâ we also talk about Star Wars and Star Wars Galaxies! We get an update from last week's caller who was wondering if he should try SWG. We also delve into the "in concept" posts Helios made in the official forums. Like the apprehensive deer who has been spooked away many times before, we cautiously approach the new ideas and find ourselves rather excited about them!

Episode 61 - "Please, don't eat my ribs"

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 6 Nov 2006 15:32:00 GMT

This week MrBubble reveals that he savors the sweet and spicy taste of ribs. Yivvits is horrified when he finds out just what kind of ribs MrBubble is talking about. Did we meet our new pledge goals from last week? Well... one of us didn't, but the other more than made up for it. For those of you who didn't like Pledge, you'll be happy to know that she's back again this week! We round things out with voice mails, answering some questions from listeners, and more readings from the books of Yivviticus and Bubbleations.

It's a fun one with all of the typical randomness you've come to expect from us!

Episode 60 - Yivviticus & Bubbleations

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 06:50:00 GMT

Let there be a podcast! Week number one of our SWG Pledge Drive has gone by. Did we both meet our SWG playtime goals? You'll have to listen to find out! We set new goals for this week and spoke with "Pledge" herself. Yes, we gave Ms. Pledge a voice (and a gender); that is just how odd we are. We take a peak at the proposed changes for entertainers and learn that MrBubble is considering a career change, discuss the NGE with a listener who works in the marketing industry, and MrBubble reads from one of his favorite books.

All of this, and more, awaits you in Episode 60!

Episode 59 - MrBubble gets an Inspiration Buff

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 17:29:00 GMT

You smell that? It's the musky odor of a new episode of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! This week we take our randomness to an entirely new level as MrBubble talks about his "inspiration buff." Isn't it funny how even the most common things tie into SW and SWG for us? We both agree it's time for another Star Wars Galaxies Pledge Drive, listen to a few voice mail messages, and give you a very brief update on the latest game updates.

On a more serious and somber note, we take a moment to pay respect to a member of the SWG and Valcyn communities we lost this week, Belkin Sprott. This episode is dedicated to him and our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Episode 58 - Palpatino's Pizza

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Wed, 4 Oct 2006 05:54:00 GMT

...and in this corner, clocking in at 2 hours and 48 minutes, Episode 58 of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! This week we start out with a typical day for Moff Jerjerrod at Palpatino's Pizza. We talk to a smuggler who's been waiting a very long time to smuggle something, listen to some voicemails, and salute *the* smuggler himself - Han Solo.

All of those things take, oh... maybe forty minutes. The rest of the show is a massive no holds barred discussion of the problems WE currently have with Star Wars Galaxies. We explain what's eating at us and why.

It's one giant slice of cheesy YaMB goodness!

Don't worry! Soon, soon you will listen to a podcast!

Tue, 3 Oct 2006 05:10:00 GMT

You might have noticed, no show posted yet. No, Smed didn't shut us down, we just aren't ready to post Episode 58 yet. It looks as if the ugnaughts are just about finished with the show and should be posting it soon.

Thanks!

Yivvits & MrBubble

Episode 57 - Project Falafel

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 03:23:00 GMT

What could be better than starting out this week's show with a little self-promotion and back-patting? Nothing! That's exactly what we did. We give you a little insight into what our show is really about and what sets it apart from others. After the image management session we talk to a YaMB listener who recently left SWG. Not only do we find out why he left, but also why he'd come back (if he had a PC that is). We briefly go over the current publish notes for Chapter 3 on Test Center which prompts MrBubble to wonder if there'll ever be a change that pleases Yivvits. We finish things up with a quick preview of what we're planning for next week's show.

All this and tons of generic Star Wars goofiness; what's not to love!

Episode 56 - Hello there, brother!

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 22:03:00 GMT

Well look what we have here! Another episode of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble is being served in the cantina! This week we take a quick look at the new original trilogy DVDs which include the unedited theatrical releases of Episodes IV through VI. Also, did MrBubble's brother ever install and start playing SWG? The answer is just a click away! Finally, we round out the show with a "summary rant" from Yivvits on what else, SWG issues and bugs.

Episode 55 - Peanuts, Cupcakes, and PvP

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 03:36:00 GMT

Well look at this, another helping of Yivvits and MrBubble! And this one is extra delicious, or dare we say "yummy?" Episode 55 is indeed a feast, including two live calls, some listener voicemail, an interview with a SOE developer, and a surprise visit from one of the show's dearest friends, who has a few words to say with the developer!

Comedy and hijinks - along with our own special sauce - complete the feast, followed by everyone falling asleep for the king of all naps. (Except Yoda, who is looking up Lady Valarian's holo number.) Enjoy!

OMG Where is it!?

Mon, 11 Sep 2006 06:30:00 GMT

Don't worry, we didn't forget!

We've always said we won't post a show that isn't ready and episode 55 isn't quiet ready yet. It will be posted tomorrow evening, giving you plenty of time to download it for your Tuesday morning ride to work or school. You're in for another treat this week; you won't want to miss it.

Thanks!
Yivvits

Episode 54 - Yoda Loves Yaddle

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 4 Sep 2006 17:58:00 GMT

Poor MrBubble contracted a case of the carrion spat flu during a recent trip to Doaba Guerfel, Corellia. Thankfully, come Saturday he was feeling better so we whipped up this little gem of an episode for you. This week we rant on the terrible inventory changes in SWG, say "we told you so" about the SWGEMU, and find out that Yoda is something of a dirty little old man.

Episode 53 - You mean it's actually fixed?

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 27 Aug 2006 21:39:00 GMT

After months and months and months and months.... and months, the Rebel deep space station, Freedom, can finally be destroyed! MrBubble is happy as a clam about this fix, and why not! This week it is MrBubble's turn to put Yivvits to sleep... err... talk about the piloting side of Star Wars Galaxies. We take a look at the history of the problems with deep space, Kessel, and things not blowing up as they should. The crazy Sullustan is on a role and also offers up some thoughts on crafting. As always, there's plenty of side-tracking and comedy.

Episode 52 - Crafty Words

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 20 Aug 2006 18:39:00 GMT

This week's episode is brought to you by:
Talus Wireless - From Dearic to Nashal, We Connect You

This week we discuss what would happen if "Snakes on a Plane" took place in the world of Star Wars Galaxies. That's about it...

HA! If only you were THAT lucky! It has been far too long without a good Yivvits rant, hasn't it? "The Rage of Yivvits" is released from its chains and shackles as a heated discussion about the future of crafting starts in the SWG forums. (We've made it sound much more sensational here than it actually is. How does that saying go? Over-promise, under-deliver?) MrBubble is taking a "let's wait and see what happens" approach.

We want to hear what YOU think about crafting in SWG. Listen to the show for our phone number!

Episode 51 - Finally a Step in the Right Direction!

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 13 Aug 2006 17:48:00 GMT

This week we start out the show with a special report by Marles Jacobe from the front lines in Restuss. The battle is fierce; will Marles make it out alive? After three weeks without an outlet for our Star Wars Galaxies energy (episode 50 and 1/2 doesn't count) we're bursting at the seams! We talk about our new player association, YaMB, discuss what happened at our 2nd meet-up, and generally fill you in on what we've been doing during the past few weeks.

We take a look at the surprisingly massive number of bug fixes included with Chapter 2.3, which is now on the SWG Test Center server. This is the type of update we've been ranting about for the past year and are happy to finally see it happen and hope it becomes a regular practice!

Episode 50 and 1/2 - Back in the Swing

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 6 Aug 2006 04:42:00 GMT

We are back! Well, almost. Building our new recording studio has been a fairly large project which took a little longer than expect. But, we are committed to the show and are eager to get back in the swing of things. Neither wet paint nor paint fumes will stop us! (Albeit, the fumes made us a little loopy) This week's show isn't really a normal episode for us. Hence, we are calling it Episode 50 and 1/2. We cover all sorts of things from truckers to the kitty lawyer to one of our favorite callers from Episode 50. Oh, we talk about Star Wars Galaxies a bit as well.

Enjoy the show, and keep an eye out for Episode 51 later this coming week. It's good to be back!

Episode 50 - The Big Five O!

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 17 Jul 2006 01:08:00 GMT

Just over a year ago we started this modest venture known as "Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble," and what a ride it has been! This week's show is a little different than usual. No news updates, no major rants, no character of the week. We're taking this opportunity to talk about where we've been, where we're going, and celebrate with some yummy cake. Above all else, this episode is where we thank you, our listeners, for making the show a hit with all of your support and kind words. Marvelous surprises await you in Episode 50 of "Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble!"

We are taking a well earned two week vacation from the show, but we'll be back at it before you can say "Bahhh Restuss!" Keep watching our sites, as we'll be posting some additional "classic" episodes during the break.

Episode 49 - Here's my problem with the Millennium Falcon

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 9 Jul 2006 07:57:00 GMT

This week's show comes to you from the burnt out remains of the Restuss cantina. We were able to flag down and talk to everyone's favorite roaming reporter, Marles Jacobe of the Corellia times. The tables are turned as one of our callers gives us a Star Wars trivia challenge. Who is the trivia champ - the Wookiee or the Sullustan? You'll have to listen to find out! Our salute to the truly important characters of the Star Wars movies continues this week and we round things out with our ongoing debate (albeit a rather one-sided one) on the state of the game.

The Classics - Episode 6

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 9 Jul 2006 03:31:00 GMT

This week's bonus episode of SWGwYaMB is "Episode VI." As part of the upcoming one year anniversary of our show we've unlocked the SWGwYaMB vault and are re-releasing some of our very first episodes! Each re-release includes some brand new commentary to set the stage.

Episode 48 - Youâre listening to VPR, Valcyn Public Radio

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 2 Jul 2006 02:25:00 GMT

We start the week out on a particularly rantish note. There's a tiny bug in the game that was fixed, but not fixed. Exacerbated by the developers' apparent inability to perform a half-ways thorough testing of their fix, we toss our hands in the air and shout our newest swearword, "Bahhhh Restuss!" With that out of our systems, we have a lot to cover this week! We'll fill you in on our recent "Meet-up," get a call from somebody we talk about almost weekly, give you a quick update on the status of Restuss, and we close things out with a song - yes, a little song from Yivvits.

The Classics - Episode 5

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sat, 1 Jul 2006 17:47:00 GMT

As part of the upcoming one year anniversary of our show we've unlocked the SWGwYaMB vault and are re-releasing some of our very first episodes! This week we bring you "Episode V" of the show and have included some brand new commentary to set things up. Enjoy, and thank you for listening!

Episode 47 - Now there are two of them!

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 03:23:00 GMT

We are happy to hear from one of our recent callers again this week but even happier because they brought a friend with! (Boy, do we feel sorry for the friend) During the past few weeks we've been saluting some of the key characters from the Star Wars movies and this week is no exception. We salute perhaps the most important character from "Attack of the Clones." Seriously, they really are THE most important! Once again Yivvits has a rant, but something is different this time... MrBubble actually agrees with him! We look back at the past year of our podcast and pose the question, "Has the overall quality of SWG changed all that much during the past 12 months?"

The Classics - Episode 4

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sun, 25 Jun 2006 03:21:00 GMT

As part of the upcoming one year anniversary of our show we've unlocked the SWGwYaMB vault and are re-releasing some of our very first episodes! This week we bring you "Episode IV" of the show and have included some brand new commentary to set things up. Enjoy, and thank you for listening!

Episode 46 - The Jar-Jar Menace

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 18:56:00 GMT

After weeks and weeks of saying we'll get back to saluting each Star Wars film we actually make good on the promise. This week it's a special salute to "The Phantom Menace." We discuss the good, the bad, the Jar-Jar... and how Star Wars Galaxies was influenced by TPM. As we have done the past few weeks we also salute a pivotal character from the Star Wars universe. We round things out with some analysis of how "Chapter 1," a.k.a. Publish 29, is being received by players.

** Special Announcement **
We want to say a big thank you to one of our listeners, Zurthas, who last week presented us with the gift of our official in-game recording studio! It's an honor to receive something like this and we think everyone should stop by and check it out! Visit the studio on Valcyn, Talus, city of Star Haven, waypoint -329 -4438.

The Classics - Episode 3

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sat, 17 Jun 2006 18:54:00 GMT

As part of the upcoming one year anniversary of our show we've unlocked the SWGwYaMB vault and are re-releasing some of our very first episodes! This week we bring you "Episode III" of the show and have included some brand new commentary to set things up. Enjoy, and thank you for listening!

The Classics - Episode 2

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 17:07:00 GMT

As part of the upcoming one year anniversary of our show we've unlocked the SWGwYaMB vault and are re-releasing some of our very first episodes! This week we bring you "Episode 2" of the show and have included some brand new commentary to set things up. Enjoy, and thank you for listening!

(Note: This is a bonus episode - don't forget to also download Episode 45 which was posted on Saturday, 6/10!)

Episode 45 - A New Chapter

swgpodcast@yivvitsandmrbubble.com — Sat, 10 Jun 2006 16:02:00 GMT

We, Yivvits and MrBubble, are taking a new direction and as part of this change our shows will no longer be referred to as "episodes." Henceforth, you shall refer to each new show as a "subdivision." For example, this will be known as "Subdivision One."

â Of course we're joking! This week we talk to a very interesting caller and we're surprised, bowled over and flabbergasted by their true identity. We salute a classic character who plays a crucial role in aiding the Rebellion. Finally, we chat about some of the changes "Chapter 1" a.k.a. Publish 29 have brought to Star Wars Galaxies.

Episode 44 - I think you have the wrong number...

Sat, 3 Jun 2006 20:49:00 GMT

Yivvits has been rather busy lately and as such the lawn at his Talus home is little... untidy. MrBubble helps him get the job done with some positive "encouragement." While chatting with our personal bodyguard, Mr. Corvan Dee of Valcyn, we give you a little background as to how our show came to be and MrBubble *tries* to clarify his comments about Trandoshan feet. We salute another extraordinarily significant Star Wars character and finally wrap things up with a swift outline of the test center publish 29 update notes.

Episode 43 - Happy Birthday Star Wars!

Fri, 26 May 2006 23:25:00 GMT

Itâs hard to believe that 29 years have passed since Star Wars was born! They grow up so quickly, donât they? This week we take some time to talk about the original release of Star Wars and listen to some clips that play a central role in defining what Star Wars is. We salute a major character from âA New Hopeâ? in order to give you some additional insight into his psyche. MrBubble has something to rant about, which is rare, and Yivvits vows to not give up on his crusade to get the SWG user interface fixed-up.

Support for the âRed Bull for User Interface Programâ? separatist group is growingâ Will the council accept the challenge? Only time will tell. Either way, youâve got us to listen to while you reconfigure your toolbars again!

Episode 42 - Leggo my Lekku!

Sat, 20 May 2006 05:40:00 GMT

What are Yivvits and MrBubble to do when there isnât much Star Wars Galaxies news to talk about? (As if that has ever stopped them!) Why, they salute a pivotal Star Wars character, of course! Who is this oh-so-important character? Well, the title of this weekâs episode should give you a hint. Weâll give you a brief overview of the combat changes now on test center and discuss how productive life can be when you turn off the game for a few days.

Episode 41 - Is this thing on?

Fri, 12 May 2006 19:48:00 GMT

This week we are happy to bring you yet another âregrouping and holding patternâ? episode of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble. The topics this week run the gamut from late night SWG sessions to American Idol (much to Yivvits displeasure) to a grand Yivvits rant regarding the SWG user interface. Not much news to talk of, but lots of talk... to talk... of.

Be sure to check out our new forums and community site! Just head on over to http://www.yivvitsandmrbubble.com/

Episode 40 - Sloppy Joes, No Onions

Sat, 6 May 2006 17:11:00 GMT

Donât miss this one! Itâs our fortieth episode and weâve managed to book a couple of very special guests. Everyoneâs favorite pop-culture psychologist is in the house and has a heart-to-heart with one of the Star Wars Galaxies developers. The time has finally come for the final showdown in our Trivia Challenge. Only one trivia intellect can stand at the top. Will it be Dack of Eclipse or Obi-Van of Valcyn? All of our usual clever tete-a-tete is in this episode as well!

New forums are up and running!

Thu, 4 May 2006 17:40:00 GMT

Hey everyone!

Hop on over to our new forums. It's still "under construction" (I really hate that phrase by the way lol) but I think we're ready to roll. Don't expect fancy graphics or neat Flash animations. We want function over form, yet easy on the eyes. We don't have a ton of forums created because we'd rather have a few busy forums than a whole bunch containing just a few posts. That said, give us feedback!

http://www.yivvitsandmrbubble.com

See you there!
Yivvits & MrBubble

Episode 39 - The Wook who lost his voice

Fri, 28 Apr 2006 20:34:00 GMT

This week it's round two of our trivia challenge finals - the battle for 2^nd place! The questions are difficult; will any of our finalists be able to answer them? MrBubble looted something in space that has him acting as if he"s won the lottery and it isnât a Black Sun helmet. We finish up this week with a rundown of the changes publish 28 has made to the game.

Will Yivvits make it through the episode with his voice? Will publish 28 revive bounty hunting? Will Spiderman learn the true identity of the Green Goblin? Listen to find out!

Episode 38 - To Trade, or not to Trade

Sat, 22 Apr 2006 17:08:00 GMT

This week marks the beginning of our Trivia Challenge Finals with the battle for third place! Who will take the trophy for third? Will it be Namuh, Beaqo, Alirc, or Thom? You want more? You got it! Also this week, Yivvits has some words heâd like to exchange with the developers regarding âno-tradeâ? items, we get an unexpected call from MrBubbleâs brother back on Sullust, and thereâs plenty of our usual witty repartee.

Episode 37 - It must have had a self-destruct

Sat, 15 Apr 2006 05:30:00 GMT

With everything thatâs been going on in Star Wars Galaxies the past few weeks, we felt it was necessary to spend some additional time discussing the latest tidbits from the news room. Weâll get you up to speed on all the juicy morsels of information being dished out at the developer summits.

Also this week, we try to figure out just what the deal is with some of the players on Lowca and MrBubble looks for a new housekeeper. Is there more? Oh, there most certainly is! Youâll have to listen to find out though.

Older episodes?

Episode 36 - How many posts could John Smedley post if John Smedley could post posts?

swgpodcast@gmail.com — Fri, 7 Apr 2006 17:25:00 GMT

This week we take an in-depth look at the general direction Star Wars Galaxies is heading in. We perform a postmortem on the copious amount of information posted during "Smed's Spring Break 2006 Post Fest.â? Yivvits and MrBubble both speak their peace on everything that"s happened with SWG during the past two years.

If you havenât been listening to the podcast for long and want to get a good feeling for where Yivvits and MrBubble stand on things, this is the episode for you. Itâs much longer than usual, but we finally try to put some things to rest. (weâll see about that!)

Surely, this episode will be the foundation of the âStar Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble Archives.â? Now, we just need to find a hoity-toity, pompous, domineering old lady to be our archive librarianâ Whatâs Joan Rivers doing these days?

The Classics - Episode 23 - What do you get a Wookiee for Christmas?

Fri, 31 Mar 2006 05:41:00 GMT

Even though we are taking a break this week (well, MrBubble is :p ) we'd never leave you hanging without your SWGwYaMB fix... and that can only mean one thing - another fine item from our "Classics" collection!

Ah yes, who can forget this episode! Originally, it was titled "The Holiday Special" but for this re-release we are going to change that to something that isn't so bland. You'll find about 15 minutes of BRAND NEW commentary at the beginning of the episode and, more importantly, it has been digitally re-mastered. (I've always wanted to say that) We'll be back next week with another fresh episode!

Original episode Notes: This week we bring you our Holiday Extravaganza Podcast! We play some of our favorite Christmas carols and discuss the finer points of that timeless holiday classic, the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special. Get yourself a big mug of eggnog; we've got lots of laughs and even some tender moments.

Warm fuzzy greetings from your pal Yivvits, and wet slobbery ones from your other pal MrBubble!

Episode 35 - Rockstar Rumor Mill

Fri, 24 Mar 2006 19:06:00 GMT

MrBubble kicks off this episode with a surprise for Yivvits that he picked up at the grocery store. Comedy ensues. The word of the week is ârumorâ? â and boy is there a lot of them. We weigh in with our own thoughts on some of the various SWG rumors floating around. No, we donât believe most rumors, but they are still fun to talk about! Also this week, we complete round one of our listener trivia challenge, briefly touch on the upcoming changes to the entertainer profession, and round out the show with oodles of our friendly banter. Rumor has it, episode 35 is great!

Episode 34 - PvP Potpourri

Fri, 17 Mar 2006 20:01:00 GMT

Just what is there to talk about when there isnât much going on in Star Wars Galaxies? Lots of stuff! After all, we are Yivvits and MrBubble; we have plenty of Star Wars and Star Wars Galaxies subjects to talk about. This week, MrBubble believes he has developed a breakthrough in frozen pizza preparation technique (something many SWG fans will want to hear). In addition, Yivvits and MrBubble both have some PvP stories to share and we speak with two more listeners and put them to our trivia challenge. Fill your home with the soothing aroma therapy potpourri of subjects in Episode 34!

Episode 33 - Oatmeal on Wednesdays, Hardboiled Egg on Thursdays

Fri, 10 Mar 2006 18:55:00 GMT

This week, our trivia challenge starts to heat up like high noon on Lok and we talk to two more long time Star Wars Galaxies players. The âRage of Yivvitsâ? continues as we update you on some of the work-in-progress changes coming to the gameâs armor and PvP bounty systems (MrBubble has the shock collar on standby). Also, just how often is MrBubble thinking about Star Wars and Star Wars Galaxies? All this, and more, in episode 33! This is by far the most creatively titled episode of our show to date, but what exactly does it have to do with Star Wars Galaxies? Youâll just have to listen to find out!

Episode 32 - I'm in a holding pattern.

Fri, 3 Mar 2006 16:31:00 GMT

While we eagerly await more news about future changes to SWG, we are, as Yivvits often says, in a holding pattern. That doesn't stop the laughs though! We continue with our listener trivia challenge, listen to some of our favorite Star Wars music clips, and talk about Yivvits' e-mail to Smed (don't worry Smed, it's good!) Even though there's not much news in Star Wars Galaxies land right now, there are always plenty of things for Yivvits and MrBubble to babble on about! Amazing!

Episode 31 - What's space got to do with it?

Sun, 26 Feb 2006 00:48:00 GMT

This week we take a deeper look into the space side of Star Wars Galaxies. Two influential pilots from the Valcyn galaxy call-in to discuss their passion for flying and the space side of the game. We put them to our trivia challenge and a special âpilots onlyâ? pop-quiz. MrBubble rants on about a grocery store clerk (I still think his joke was... not humorous or Star Warsy), we have some fun with the âLandoâ? theme from TESB, and update you about this weekendâs Podcast Party!

Episode 30 - Homage to Owen

swgpodcast@gmail.com — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 21:07:00 GMT

Can you believe it? Thirty episodes! It's been a lot of fun for us, and we sincerely thank all of our listeners. With the passing of Phil Brown, who played the role of Uncle Owen, we kick off episode 30 with a tribute of sorts to everyone's favorite cranky old uncle. In addition to the usual repartee, we talk to a certain pop-culture doctor, discuss the recently posted publish roadmap, continue with our listener trivia challenge, and finish (again) with some SWG entertainer music. Episode 30 is jam-packed with nutritious vitamins and minerals; everything a SWG fan needs! (everything other than pizza of course)

Breaking News - Tuesday, February 14th. 2006

swgpodcast@gmail.com — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 04:22:00 GMT

** We interrupt your normally scheduled program to bring you this breaking news ** Yup, itâs a special edition of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! The âLetters from the Producersâ? are out and we want to go on the record about a few things. Fasten your seatbelts folks, itâs going to be a bumpy ride!

Episode 29 - Attack of the Bagel Bites

swgpodcast@gmail.com — Sun, 12 Feb 2006 04:59:00 GMT

This week, Yivvits and MrBubble have a lot to talk about, which is not unusual as most of our listeners know. But, if you thought last week's episode was jammed pack... well... you'll be *extra* pleased with episode 29! As always, there's plenty of Star Wars and Star Wars Galaxies discussion / debating / ranting. We take a couple more calls from listeners and test their knowledge of the original trilogy with some trivia. Our movie of the week is "Attack of the Clones" and we have two script readings that we think you'll enjoy. As for the Bagel Bites... well, you'll just have to listen. I don't think I could explain it if I tried. We round out the show with some music that any SWG fan will recognize.

Episode 28 - "Caller, what is your quesiton?"

swgpodcast@gmail.com — Sat, 4 Feb 2006 03:00:00 GMT

We are back from our one week break and thought it was time to take a few calls from listeners. Find out what some other fellow players think about what's been going on in SWG. This week's featured film is "Episode I - The Phantom Menace" and we perform not one, but two "pivotal" scenes from the film! Amazing! We give you a quick update on the status of publish 27 and there is plenty of the usual banter... perhaps more than usual - this is our longest episode yet, clocking in at around 90 action packed minutes! But wait, that's not all! We have a special tribute to a certain Sullustan pilot (*cough* MrBubble).

The Classics - Episode 8

swgpodcast@gmail.com — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 01:00:00 GMT

Episode 8 of the podcast was the first time a certain doctor joined us (the first time Yivvits wasn't impersonating him at least) and we vowed to stop using episode numbers - hey, it seemed like a nice idea at the time! This episode was the first we recorded in the high-tech Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble basement recording studio. You wouldn't know it though, as we had yet to discover pop-filters (props to Tutone!) and we were testing different bit-rates for the MP3. Obviously, the one we used in this episode wasn't a winner.

Episode 27 - Oh so Very Random

swgpodcast@gmail.com — Sat, 21 Jan 2006 01:00:00 GMT

This week, Yivvits and MrBubble are all over the map discussing everything from upcoming bug fixes in the space game to MrBubble's longing for a Jessica Alba protocol droid. Yes, it's all so very random - but isn't that what you love about us?

Episode 26 - A Promise is a Promise

swgpodcast@gmail.com — Sat, 14 Jan 2006 01:00:00 GMT

The galaxies are in a time of great turmoil. The galactic senate has come forth with promises of stronger diplomatic ties and increased communications between the regional senators and their constituents. We discuss these latest chapters in the SWG saga in addition to the usual banter. As added bonuses, we explore the more sensitive and caring sides of Vader and Palpatine, and the "Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble Acting Troop" perform two pivotal scenes from "Return of the Jedi."

Episode 25 - Papa Who?

swgpodcast@gmail.com — Sat, 7 Jan 2006 01:20:00 GMT

Just who is Baron Papanoida? We try to uncover the mystery surrounding this shady figure; a man who's seldom seen other than at highfalutin operas. Also, this week's featured Star Wars film is "Episode V: The Empire Strikes back!" That can only mean one thing - lots of Billy D. Williams!

Episode 24 - End of Year Wrap-up

swgpodcast@gmail.com — Sat, 31 Dec 2005 01:00:00 GMT

This week marks our final episode of 2005 with some reminiscing, rehashing of previous talking points, and general time wasting. Everything you've grown to love from our show! Yivvits just can't stop talking about life before the CU (not just the NGE), and MrBubble reveals his infomercial fetish. We promise... there is no "What do you get a Wookiee for Christmas" this week!
