Massively Speaking Episode 55 is back this week as Shawn is joined by new(ish) blogger Lesley Smith. They discuss everything from WoW's newest patch 3.2 announcement to LotRO's Book 8 patch notes. There's also some great discussion on the sad state of mounts and inventory in MMOs these days. Ironically, we predict the delay of Jumpgate Evolution (along with everyone else) just before the news actually broke.Have a comment for the podcasters?

So is it a timezone thing, or don't you read the websites you link to before you 'predict' stuff...

Editing, uploading and scheduling a podcast takes a lot longer than actually recording it. We recorded this at noon EST on Tuesday, about 3 hours before the announcement was made.

There was a game that did pack mules and it was just that, a mule with a bunch of bags on it. It's called Dungeon Siege 2. I don't remember if the first Dungeon Siege did it but this one did, and it was a great game element. It was a great way of solving the whole "11 battle axes in a pouch" problem. One of my fondest memories of the pack mule is actually of it dying. I'm an item hoarder in all games, and I had that thing bulging with goods. Funny thing is, that when your pack mule dies, all of it's contents are thrown out on the ground. It was a grand explosion. So upon returning to my body and my mules body, the entire dungeon floor was riddled with gold and items. Good times...
