Due to recent troubles that I discussed vaguely on Drawing a Blank I’m going to have to announce the hiatus.
We will be doing one more official episode of Banter Over a Cigarette before season two comes to an end. After which every now and again special episodes will be dropped into the feed. Bonus content of my writing projects, stuff to do with music, and throw backs to season one where I’d just pick a single topic and discuss it at length, and this is something that will be done by hopefully all of the cast members and we will start talk of season three after the beginning of the new year and hopefully be back on the air before March of 2009.
The last episode of Season Two will be recorded sometime next week, and it will be posted the following Monday.
We were recording the show for today and we finished recording and were getting ready to process the show and it crashed, the show will be up by tomorrow evening, I’m sorry. I’m terribly sorry that this happened it was an unforseen wrench thrown into the plans. We WILL fix this.
I’ll have to admit that I just used the elections as an excuse to post this one late. Partying on Halloween and discovering Doctor Who left me a bit too lazy to work on anything over the weekend and that is unfair to you, the listeners. Myself and the rest of the BOaC team have made the decision to crack down and make a more conscientious schedule for your behalf.
But speaking of the elections I’ll probably make a mention of it on my blog, Drawing a Blank.
It seems that every time I leave Kyle’s house I return home with a new addiction. The first time it was Rising, then it was Mass Effect, then it was Magic: The Gathering. I thought it was all done there. But no! Then he came over to my house and introduced me to Jager Bombs. If that wasn’t enough the next time I went over to his place he got me hooked on WoW. Then, on Saturday, after all of the Halloween festivities both himself and his wife got me hooked on Doctor Who. So for the whole week I’ve been watching it online. Lets hope that I can leave his home without anymore addictions the next time I go over there.
This episode did not go exactly the way I’d wanted it to. I had a small problem with a lot of my segues. I was planning on heaping everything to do with zombies one right after the other, and then after talking about WoW move on to the other MMO’s and then lead into the single player games. But I guess that it is safe to say that when the dead do start to rise, Ben is thoroughly fucked. And speaking of Ben, if you’re wondering what made him cry out in pain after talking about Little Big Planet, it was me pistol whipping him with my Nerf gun for something that had to be edited out of the audio.
I’m sorry that I’ve been posting late, or not at all, with increasing frequency. I apologize and it is not fair to the listeners. And you’ve all shown me that. In the last 8 days this blog has had no hits what so ever. We lost five listeners from our original thirteen. We gained some back, but lost a few more. Your message has come across and we’re going to try even harder to crack down on our work we do for the show. And it needs to be done seeing as this is the stretch run for the show seeing as around the end of this year season two will come to an end and the show will be on hiatus. We’ll be coming back by February or March so you don’t have to worry. We will only be gone long enough to take a break, heave a collective sigh into the atmosphere, and then get back to work in making the show better. New intros, new music (but probably still from Libertine Leech), new promos. All of that fun stuff. I’m also going to improve Ben’s spelling and technique for show notes. And I’m also hoping to teach Kyle the ropes of audio editing.
Well that is all for now.
We’ll see you next week.
And as always this is Eldon K.R. saying: I don’t have cancer, so I’m not stopping.
I’d like to thank all of our listeners, as well as Libertine Leech for providing the intro music. Special thanks to Spaztastic Sara for the iTunes cover art. And if you like the show you can always leave a comment on the blogs, an iTunes review, sending me an email. And of course I always enjoy getting voice mail from listeners, and that voice mail line is (206)-339-5825.
EDIT: Ben fucked up on the show notes this week so there are none, if something really interests you, use Google. I’ll thoroughly beat Ben, and make sure he learns his lesson.

Dan Christensen’s daughter Tori has gone missing in Portland Oregon. She’s been going down the wrong side of the tracks and this morning she was found missing. She has a very large and loving family, lets all do our best to see that we do our part to make sure the word gets out and she can come home safe. If enough people see this and pass it on, then it increases the chance of the right eyes in the right places. Send this to people who have a large listener base or readership and ask them to circulate it, post it on twitter, or your own blog, open up a thread on your favorite forum. The internet has been used to locate missing cars and other such things. Lets see if we can bring this girl back to her family.
