Warning: Attention Commuters! This episode might take more than one commute to listen to! Normally I like to keep it around an hour, but with Jerry, there is just no getting into that time frame. Also, there is some serious content on this particular show. Please don't hate us for that! Also, there are one or two educational elements in this show. Can you forgive us? I certainly hope so! As we still try to embrace the lowest common denominator. Any complaints you might have can be submitted to our producer, a piece of Burned Toast (no really), or our parent show: The DDO Cast. Otherwise sit back, grab your favorite cocktail, and enjoy as we explore the "lighter" side of Dungeons and Dragons On line, Eberron Unlimited!
This week Samius and Lessah welcome Jerry Snook back the show! The team talks a lot about shameful moments in gaming as well as the life-cycle of the MMO player! Samius and Jerry have a rant fest and the team comes up with a way for Turbine to make even more fast cash! Listen to find out how Jerry reacts when formally asked to go behind the rock! Thanks so much for listening!

Website Bonus Material
Oh yeah! Website bonus material is BACK! This is my corner, where I put things that I think are funny, or things that I think are too riskee or don't fit with the theme of the show, or... are just plain innapropriate! I am thinking I might call this section "Behind the Rock" as it does not go into the Itunes feed and can only be downloaded from our website here. Your thoughts?
This time, I didn't want to lose this little chat that Jerry, Samius, and I had before we started the show. Enjoy!

Adan Maskery show notes:
Welcome to Adan’s Alcohol Apothecary. Today we will be starting with a strong, but enjoyable drink of my own making: The Barbarian Breakfast. This drink is simple to make and that much harder to stand up after drinking a few. You need a 12 oz glass, 8 oz of Orange Juice, and a shot of Everclear. Pour the shot of Everclear into the 12 oz glass, pour in the 8 oz of Orange Juice and drink. Some Rangers and Bards will sip this drink, but most fighters can handle downing this almost as fast as Barbarians. The goal is to drink one of these per rage while playing. By the end of your raid your Barbarian won’t feel a thing, and coincidentally, you won’t either.
Thanks for joining me for Adan’s Alcohol Apothecary. And remember, enough alcohol in your system cures everything.
You can email me with suggestions and comments at AdansAlcoholApothecary@gmail.com.

Listen as Lessah falls all over herself trying to think of witty things to say (&fails) and Samius tries to talk everyone into actually trying to be good players! The team talks about GenCon Indy and veers off topic to talk movies and the show goes completely haywire when an Educational and Informative discussion takes place! Thanks so much for listening!

We don’t fear the lowest common denominator… we wholly embrace it! And oh yes… we WILL tell what we are drinking because it’s called COCKTAIL HOUR!
Also, today’s show is not exclusively about DDO! I know it’s shocking, but people cannot eat, sleep, and breathe the exact same game for four years straight! Sure we talk DDO, but we wander waaaay off topic this episode and even use complete sentences at one point!
