<title>Travels with Troy #7</title>
<link>http://virginworlds16.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=352457#</link>
<description><![CDATA[This week in the Travels with Troy, we say a fond farewell to the Age
of Conan. Although a fun game, Troy could not get beyond the heavy
questing of the game, and the seemingly lacking community within the
MMO.&nbsp; Troy moves on to <a href="http://www.virginworlds.com/uploads/TMOG7.pdf" target="_blank">TMOG: Combat</a>, talking about many aspects of
battle and fighting within the game of Phantasm Adventures. Troy wraps
the show up with his experimentation with energy drinks. This week he
tries Full Throttle: Blue Demon &amp; Monster: Khaos.&nbsp; Both he found
quite delicious and energetic.&nbsp; Troy ends the show talking about what
games he has played last week.<br/>

<description><![CDATA[This week Troy returns to the
show after a couple weeks of being on vacation and just feeling blah!&nbsp;
Troy talks about going &quot;Cold Turkey&quot; without his computer and the
internet while on vacation, and the feeling of being at loss without
the world wide web.&nbsp; He then starts a discussion on some of the
negative aspects of the Age of Conan -- and although he admits that the
game is technically flawless there are allot of problems in the game
that needs to be worked out.&nbsp; Troy moves on to his 6th commentary of
<a href="http://www.virginworlds.com/uploads/TMOG6.pdf" target="_blank">TMOG: Skills of Phantasm Adventures</a>; he details how skills are
selected, learned, and how to determine a score to succeed -- Please
download the pdf here.&nbsp; He wraps up the show with asking the listeners
to send an email or post on the forums, which kinds of energy drinks
they have tried.<br/>

<description><![CDATA[This week Troy returns to the show, after a bout with pneumonia, and
talks about the gods of Hyboria.&nbsp; He then discusses the clans and
guilds in his game Phantasm Adventures and how the structure of them
correlates into a MMO.&nbsp; Troy then muses about the goblin gamblers in
the world of Everquest II and how he would like to see the payouts
changed.&nbsp; Troy has succumbed to play Age Of Conan, and he gives his
first impression (By Crom! Troynan, the Cimmerian, Lives!).&nbsp; Troy also
talks briefly about his PC upgrades, and finally he gives us his
account of Dual Boxing.<br/>
