We also discuss a Turbine job finding thread, receive another installment of the Point of Screwage and also announce the date and time for our Grand Stair run this week!

Please Note: I (Chris) experienced a BSOD (blue screen of death) during the recording, so the first half is using our back-up technology.

[Video] A look at the New Dwarf Intro/Starter Zone
Jan 17th
Yes, I am quite aware how late I am to the party folks… but I have worked out my YouTube issues and encoding issues and finally have this video ready for you all! Today I bring you a 1 hour video set showing off the massive changes to the Dwarf Intro Instance and Starter Zone. Since YouTube removed my time limit on videos I have managed to fit everything into 2 videos of ~30 min each.
There is no commentary, just in game music and sound.
As you can see from the videos, Turbine has managed to completely revamp the whole experience. The story line now makes more sense and everything flows together a bit smoother.
There are, of course, a few minor things – like the path in the Intro Silver Deep that is said to have “crumbled” but clearly shows that it was never meant to be a path, and the long back and forth walks early on in the Starter Zone.
Other than a few nitpicks the new Dwarf Intro/Starter Zone revamp is a huge success to me. I love the way Turbine portrayed the corruption of the Dourhands.
I hope you all enjoy the videos and feel free to let me know what you think.
