Once more Ivaneus has come forth to share his knowledge and views on the Lord of the RIngs Online in his own manner. This week we tackle Update 5.1, the Riders of Rohan announcement, wrap up the Ettenmoors Geography, and tackle player email and blog comments. So sit back, relax, and have a happy and prosperous year of the dragon as we go Thorugh the Palantir.

Join Ivaneus, Ivan, and me in this episode of Through the Palantir as we discuss the Instance cluster from Update 5, what we have done since December, and a new sponsor?!? Is that even legal?!?! Possibly. You'll just have to listen and find out for yourself! Also included is a new newbies rundown of the Ettenmoors as well as Ivan's thoughts on ideal group composition in PvMP and an abudant lack of emails, comments and messages to respond to. Looks like Ivaneus will have to delve into the horros of real life to find more things to talk about. So pull up a chair, pop some Apirin (or painkillers) and get ready for another trip Through the Palantir. Enjoy. -Ivaneus

Once again the time has come to prepare yourselves to face another episode of Through the Palantir. This time Ivaneus will be working his way through some of the information surrounding the release of Update 5 and all that is coming therein as well as resuming the Ettenmoors walkthrough and finally cpping the entire production off with the announcement of a new contact system for Through the Palantir and a special . . . "gift" for the holiday season. So just sit back, grab some tea, and enjoy the ride.

I would like to thank Morlag of Landroval for alerting me to the fact that more than 50% of Episode 20 had failed to upload (which explains why it only took 3 minutes to upload . . .). After being alerted to the issue I was able to find that the error was in the base MP3 file and that my editing software was not properly creating the MP3, cutting it off at about 16:48. After numerous failed attempts to fix this I went online and downloaded a new version of my editor, dumped the old one and that has solved the problem. The new version is up now so be sure to clear the faulty one and re-download the full version of Episode 20.

Hey everyone, Ivaneus here. I know we haven't had a new episode in some time so I want to bring you up to speed on what is currently going on and allay any worries that we may have called it quits (we haven't).

So here's what has been and will be happening in the past and future few weeks:

1) Malware attacks. Our blogsite got infected in the same round of attacks that temporarily took out CstM's site. Whether the original infection was on our site and passed to theirs or vice versa is something I do not know and don't care to know. What's more important is that both sites have been cleaned up and Google has declared the blog clean. So good news at the end of that.

First things first, what is GamesiPlay (GiP) and why would you, our listeners/followers care about it?

GiP is a website designed by gamers for gamers of all types. One of the foremost goals of GiP is to revolutionize the way gamers of all genres connect to each other the way Facebook has revolutionized the way middle and high school girls, and all of your aunts (enstranged or otherwise) connect with everyone else on the planet.
