During this holiday season we spend time with our friends and family, celebrate religious events, and or look forward to a certain jolly elf to bring us gifts (no, not Brenlo :p). There's one other thing needed to really put you in the holiday spirit... The "Yivvits & MrBubble Holiday Extravaganza 2006" podcast!

This year we revisit our favorite (and only) Star Wars Christmas album. Listen along as 3PO teaches R2 how to sing, the workshop droids finally figure out what to get a Wookiee for Christmas, and 3PO performs a thoughtful reading of "Twas the Night Before Christmas."

Most large companies have some sort of holiday gathering and we assumed SOE is no different. Our assumptions were confirmed when we obtained a super top-secret recording from the event. Smed and Helios exchanged "Secret Santa" gifts; need we say more?

We sum up our personal feelings about SWG for 2006 and discuss what we'd like to see happen with the game in the coming year. Finally, we exchange gifts and are humored (or possibly horrified) that we both got each other... Nah, you'll just have to listen to find out!

Happy Holidays,
Yivvits & MrBubble

This is it! Our final "normal" episode of 2006! (normal for us anyway) As usual, we discuss a plethora of topics this week. MrBubble gives us some tips on decorating with your holo-emitters and raves about his G15 keyboard. Yivvits goes on and on about bugs (nothing new there) and enlightens MrBubble on the subject of "the rate of movement in SWG." Some of you have been asking about the enigma that is "Episode 63" and this week we shed some light on the episode that must not be named. More? More did you spake? There is more, but for that you need to download the show!

Welcome to another episode of SWGwYaMB! It's been a rather uneventful week for both of us yet somehow we popped out this hour long beauty. We talk about Life Day 2006, listen to a few voicemails, and catch you up on what we've both been doing. Inspired by Yivvits' shader quest, MrBubble has started a pursuit of his own: Droids can't be called in structures. He'll fill us in on what he's done so far. Our guest this week is none other than angry teenage Anakin. He's just so angry; we think he needs a hug… or some anger management.

Enjoy this jocular and lighthearted episode of YaMB!

The wait is over! We know you've been starving for another episode and now you may partake in the feast that is Episode 64. While on a short vacation MrBubble stopped by the SOE offices in San Diego. What for? Did he survive? Was he brainwashed? He'll answer all of these questions, and more!

While MrBubble was busy charming SOE employees into giving him cookies and gummi worms, Yivvits made a breakthrough in his never-ending quest to figure out those broken shaders/textures. That's not all, he's also been playing another game and it isn’t CoV.

Also this week, we cover a ton of random topics including gems like: more things we'd like to see fixed in SWG, Count Dooku's opinions on various things, and MrBubble's longing to be a fairy (in EQ2).

Hi everyone! Wanted to let you know that we are taking a short break for the Thanksgiving holiday. Our next episode is currently slated for the first weekend of December. If time permits we may do a quick one for next week. On the next episode MrBubble will tell us all about his trip to SOE in San Diego where he met Pex and Brenlo.

/yivvits (I'm a little worried... ever since he returned he keeps talking about EQ2 and telling everyone they should try it...)

Have a happy Thanksgiving! If you don't have Thanksgiving where you live, have a happy 3rd week of November! :)

Yivvits & MrBubble

You've been waiting so patiently and now you shall be rewarded! This week we touch the usual random subjects… Swedish meatballs at IKEA, the Books of Yivviticus and Bubbleations, kitty lawyer, Pledge. Oh, I almost forgot… we also talk about Star Wars and Star Wars Galaxies! We get an update from last week's caller who was wondering if he should try SWG. We also delve into the "in concept" posts Helios made in the official forums. Like the apprehensive deer who has been spooked away many times before, we cautiously approach the new ideas and find ourselves rather excited about them!

This week MrBubble reveals that he savors the sweet and spicy taste of ribs. Yivvits is horrified when he finds out just what kind of ribs MrBubble is talking about. Did we meet our new pledge goals from last week? Well... one of us didn't, but the other more than made up for it. For those of you who didn't like Pledge, you'll be happy to know that she's back again this week! We round things out with voice mails, answering some questions from listeners, and more readings from the books of Yivviticus and Bubbleations.

It's a fun one with all of the typical randomness you've come to expect from us!

Let there be a podcast! Week number one of our SWG Pledge Drive has gone by. Did we both meet our SWG playtime goals? You'll have to listen to find out! We set new goals for this week and spoke with "Pledge" herself. Yes, we gave Ms. Pledge a voice (and a gender); that is just how odd we are. We take a peak at the proposed changes for entertainers and learn that MrBubble is considering a career change, discuss the NGE with a listener who works in the marketing industry, and MrBubble reads from one of his favorite books.

All of this, and more, awaits you in Episode 60!

You smell that? It's the musky odor of a new episode of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! This week we take our randomness to an entirely new level as MrBubble talks about his "inspiration buff." Isn't it funny how even the most common things tie into SW and SWG for us? We both agree it's time for another Star Wars Galaxies Pledge Drive, listen to a few voice mail messages, and give you a very brief update on the latest game updates.

On a more serious and somber note, we take a moment to pay respect to a member of the SWG and Valcyn communities we lost this week, Belkin Sprott. This episode is dedicated to him and our thoughts are with his family and friends.

...and in this corner, clocking in at 2 hours and 48 minutes, Episode 58 of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! This week we start out with a typical day for Moff Jerjerrod at Palpatino's Pizza. We talk to a smuggler who's been waiting a very long time to smuggle something, listen to some voicemails, and salute *the* smuggler himself - Han Solo.

All of those things take, oh... maybe forty minutes. The rest of the show is a massive no holds barred discussion of the problems WE currently have with Star Wars Galaxies. We explain what's eating at us and why.

It's one giant slice of cheesy YaMB goodness!
