Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, Nevik, Breja, and Jen tackle a mountain of email from our awesome listeners. We really appreciate each and every email, comment, and voice mail that we get. You guys rock! Our “4th Musketeer”, Lanntonio, wasn’t available for this episode, but we are certain he will return for some upcoming shows. This episode also includes an update from Nevik, Jen, and Breja, about what we have been up to in Diablo III since the last Shattered Soulstone ep...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik It’s been well over a month since Diablo III went live world-wide and our good friend, fan and listener Tinokk pointed out that we had not held a gaming night since the open beta weekend. After the shock of that fact wore off it was time to convene once more for a gaming night, and convene we did. Our 4th gaming night, held on Friday June 22nd (Saturday June 23rd for our Australians friends), ran so long that the audio needed to be split in to two parts. Wh...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik In this episode, Nevik, Breja, and Jen are joined by Lanntonio, (our 4th Musketeer). Yes, this episode is just a little bit later than expected. Let’s just say that a few of the hosts have run into technical difficulties of the medical kind. (We explain more about that in the show). We start this episode with our new segment where we share what we have been up to in Diablo III, (as well as some of the other, “irl” stuff we have been up to). Don’t worry, we ...

Nevik, Breja, and Jen are all very excited about finally being able to play Diablo III! It was good to know that the game didn’t just end after you kill the Skeleton King. How many of you were still expecting to see text pop up on your screen after that kill, letting you know that you beat the Diablo III beta? 😉 Starting with this episode, we are including a new “segment”. Nevik, Breja, and Jen will be sharing what each of them have been up to in the Diablo III game. Don’t worry, we are being v...

Jen, one of the “co-joeys” of the Shattered Soulstone podcast, and Shawn, the amazingly talented editor of the Shattered Soulstone podcast, decided to make an audio recording of their experiences when Diablo III first launched. Like many of you, we were not expecting what followed. It was frustratingly difficult to attempt, over and over again, to log into the game. We saw a whole lot of this: …over and over again… It was getting ridiculous! At times, we were certain that we would not be ab...

Nevik, Breja, and Jen somehow managed to make episode 15 appear right around May 15, the day that Diablo III is released. We assure you that this was nothing more than a happy accident. I mean, it’s probably obvious that we aren’t amazingly organized. 😉 We are excited to bring you an interview that we did with Nate Kenyon. His book, Diablo III: The Order will be released on, you guessed it, May 15, 2012. Lots of epic fifteens in this episode! We had a great time talking with Nate, and we think ...

In this episode, Nevik and Breja are joined by Lanntonio, (the “font of knowledge”). Thank you, Lanntonio, for stepping in even though you got rather short notice. 🙂 You won’t hear Jen in this episode, because they got mobbed by an epic pack of allergens, led by a rare monster called “Springtime”. It only spawns once a year! They used some healing potions, but they weren’t quite enough to enable them to be ready to podcast this time around. In This Episode * We read, and respond to, listener e...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik I know, I know. It’s been awhile since our last gaming night. Things happen, hosts get busy. It happens right? Nonetheless we couldn’t miss out on an opportunity to beta-it-up with our wonderful listeners after Blizzard unexpectedly announced an OPEN BETA weekend. Many laughs were had throughout the night and fortunately for us the beta servers remained stable enough for us to get a full run-through down to the Skeleton King. — though they came down almost ...

In this episode, Nevik is healing, Breja brings us news of Inferno, and Jen is making customized banners. It will all make sense, trust us. 275,000 D3 beta invites just went out! Did you get one? We hope so! In This Episode: * We read, and respond to, listener email from Noelwiz, Zestyclam, Dean, and Chronic_Fatigue. Thank you, everyone for sending us email at show@shatteredsoulstone.com. We love it! * We read some awesome iTunes reviews from Shoot003, Chewylewy, and HotInTheCity. How excitin...

Nevik, Breja, and Jen bring you a very Epic Episode Eleven! This episode includes an interview with Richard A. Knaak, author of The Sin War Trilogy, Legacy of Blood, Kingdom of Shadow and Moon of the Spider, (and that’s just to name the books he has written that take place within the Diablo “universe”)!

The Shattered Soulstone podcast has now reached ten episodes! This is something of a milestone in podcasting. There are plenty of well-intentioned podcasts that fade away before they reach episode number ten. In gaming terms, we have just earned our first major “achievement”. Nevik, Breja, and Jen would like to thank all of our listeners for giving Shattered Soulstone a try, for continuing to listen, and for giving us plenty of feedback. We couldn’t do the show without you! Episode Topics * We...

Nevik, Breja, and Jen recorded this episode rather late on Saturday evening. We were all kind of tired, but somehow managed to put together a fun episode of Shattered Soulstone, anyway. As always, we had a lot of Diablo related stuff to discuss. Episode Topics * We read, and responded to, email sent to us from our wonderful listeners! This time, we got email from Rahtahr, Ametous, and Smokimus. Send us you Diablo related thoughts, questions, or observations, and we will happily read it on a fut...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik Missed our second gaming night? Do not fret! As with our very first gaming night Nevik decided to record the second gaming night for prosperity. Once again it seemed that technology fail popped its ugly head out but in the end a fun time persevered. A big thanks goes out to Chaos (@Chaos5061), Rilandune (@Rilandune), and once again Lanntonio (@Lanntonio) for joining us on second Diablo II gaming night. Unfortunately Breja was unable to join us to represent ...

Wow, did we have a lot of stuff to talk about in this episode! Nevik, Breja, and Jen discuss the controversial changes to Diablo 3 that were announced by Jay Wilson. We also read, and respond to, listener email about this topic. If you didn’t have an opinion about this whole brouhaha before listening to this episode, you probably have formed one by the time the show ended! The sample you hear in this episode is from the book The Gunslinger: The Dark Tower I by Stephen King. It is narrated by Ge...

Show notes originally posted by Nevik Did you miss out on our first Diablo II gaming night? Well fortunately for everyone Nevik decided to record the night for prosperity. Things didn’t go quite as smoothly as we had hoped, but in the end we all had a fantastic time as you’ll hear. A big thanks goes out to Lanntonio (@Lanntonio) for joining us on our very first foray into hosting gaming nights. He’s quite a font of Diablo II information and blew our minds with his vast knowledge of how the game...

Nevik, Breja, and Jen got together to record episode number lucky seven on Friday the thirteenth of January. In this case, our good luck prevailed over any potential bad luck that could have come from the rather ominous date that this episode was recorded on. At least one of the hosts got a beta key for Diablo 3! You are going to have to listen to the episode to find out which host, or hosts, got lucky with Diablo. 😉 The sample you hear in this episode is from the book Archangel: Samaria, Book...

Nevik, Breja, and Jen have gotten together on another Friday evening to record this episode. There seems to be something about recording on Fridays that brings out the somewhat twisted sense of humor in all of us. Hmm… maybe we should start recording on Friday nights more often. In this episode, Nevik, Breja, and Jen are joined by Medros. Many of you who listen to Shattered Soulstone will recognize him from All Things Azeroth, Group Quest, and More than Megapixels, (which are all podcasts on th...

Nevik, Breja, and Jen have gotten together at a more reasonable hour this time. We all sound much more awake on this Friday night recording, and no one required coffee. In this episode, Nevik, Breja, and Jen are joined by Kurly (@KurlyQ70). He holds the honor of being the very first guest on the Shattered Soulstone podcast. Kurly is a listener of our podcast. Episode Topics Interview with Kurly – Where he is asked questions about his history with the Diablo games, the books, and more. The show...
