Clocking in at just under 3 hours in length, show 100 has finally arrived.  There are probably 30+ familiar voices on this show and you'll find plenty of raw commentary and information as well as more laughs than any other episode of the VirginWorlds Podcast.Special thanks to ALL of the contributors to this special 100th episode.  It has been a great run and there WILL be 100 more podcasts from VirginWorlds!Guests include:Brenden from Another HereJonathan from TOGADarren from TCSG and SUWTJohn from The Ancient Gaming NoobDennis from PotshotMichael from MMOG NationCraig from Voyages in EternityLauren from Mystic WorldsAimee from the Official SOE PodcastEthic from Kill Ten RatsWilliam from Ramblings of a BildoYivvits & MrBubble from swgpodcast.comShawn from GuildCast, TabulaCast and OMGRLBeau and LealaScytale 2 from The MMOE BlogAdam from Witty RanterKami from ComutinyPatrick from Azeroth.fr...and more...Have fun listening!

Oops, it isn't show 100 yet, but here's a good show where Brent covers some listener mail and a handful of other random topics.Enjoy and thanks for listening.

Drawing ever closer to show 100.  Number 99 is a special show featuring the annual joining of forces by VirginWorlds (Brent and Brenden) and Massively Online Gamer (Ryan and Gary).  As you would expect we talk about MMOs, we cuss, we talk about non-MMOs, we make references to obscure pop culture, we talk about console games, we carpet bomb the podcast with f-bombs, and we spend some time making fun of each other.  Not your typical VirginWorlds Podcast, but that is what makes it fun.  If you're adverse to intense language, stray away.  If you're a fan of both shows, you won't want to miss it.

Podcast 98, the final podcast of 2007 features Brent, Darren from Shut Up We're Talking and Common Sense Gamer, Shawn from GuildCast, TabulaCast and OMG Real Life and Michael from MMOGNation.  Join these familiar voices as they talk about the highs and lows of 2007, the game mechanics they want to see killed, the trends in MMO gaming and a listing of the MMO industry heroes of 2007.  Have a happy new year!

Finally, the podcast that struggled through the holiday week has been completed, and it is a big one.  Darren from Common Sense Gamer and Shut Up We're Talking joins Brent for a lengthy rundown of the MMO news over the past couple of weeks.Topics include:- Blizzard's new MMO project- Cryptic Studios- Darkeden- Sony Online Entertainment news- Linden Labs- MMORPG.com's Reader's Choice Awards- MMOG Data- Might and Magic MMO- Warhammer Online- The Word of the Year- The Gnomies- Listener Mail- What We're PlayingNew Equipment Sponsor: Johnedw2New Elite Members:- Saylah from Mystic Worlds- LadyBhaal- Blue15New Supporters:- Sheldrake- BlacktopNew Member:- asakawa
