Hey faithful listeners!

I know that it’s been a while since you’ve heard from the ARG Netcast crew, and some of you might be wondering where we’ve been. Well, it’s all my fault, really. I had a few work-related tasks to finish up in the past three weeks, and I’m currently on vacation with my family, so finding time to record has been tough. However, we are coming back soon with new episodes, and I do have a clip show in the works that should be ready by sometime this week.

Stay tuned, and thanks for your continued support!

The Skypecast is having technical issues, so we’re making this week’s recording a conference call instead. We are going to run it as a conference call, so if you’d like to be invited, find me (argjamesi) on the Skype network and send me a request through a chat. The call caps out at ten participants, so we may not be able to get you in, but it doesn’t hurt to try.

Further update: We couldn’t even get the conference call to work properly, and have rescheduled the live chat to 5 pm CT (6 pm ET, 3 pm PT, 11 pm GMT). We will hve a link up shortly for the new Skypecast room.

Another update: The new Skypecast room is located here. If you aren’t able to connect right away, try again — it might take a bit of time to connect, given our troubles from earlier.

We have finally figured out how to conduct a live, online town hall discussion that can be recorded for a netcast episode, and what better topic to talk to the masses about than ARGfest-o-con 2008? The official announcement regarding this year’s festivities will take place this Sunday at 1 pm CT (2 pm ET, 11 am PT) via Skypecast!

You can participate in the live discussion by joining us — but you must be a registered Skype user, as far as we understand the inner workings of the system. We are looking forward to this, though, so come one, come all!

While you wait, you can check out things at the official ARGfest-o-con web site.
