Yesh! first for once. Thats been an awesome interview. Thanks for agreeing to this Mr Mcginnis and Mr Rorie. Its been great to hear all that from you.
*ogles at the podcasters* And you dun get used to me calling people Mr Thats reserved and rarely happens so no funny ideas.
and before I forget
“GET MATT A CAR!”
have it be one of the “Kewet Buddy” things the build in norway now, at least if his reason for busing aruond are environmental.
Michele and Trey… Great Episode guys!!! I continue to be impressed by the journey this podcast has taken. Congrats to Jay and Trey for the successful show they created.
Congrats to the area contest winners… Sure.. I’m a bit bummed my idea of scaling didn’t catch their fancy.. http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2PrefabAreas.Detail&id=332... but imagine that.. the NWNP delivering the exclusives!!
Anyway.. enough of my gushing… but it can be said again.. Great Episode!
Great interview guys! Pity they don’t seem to have a Community mod friday dedicated to playing !
Well done to the contest winners!
That was a very good interview. Congrats to the Area Design Contest winners. I will have to download them and try get some hints on area design from them.
Looking forward to the next interview, hopefully Michele will not pee in her pants.
I would not be surprised if Trey is missing after his choice of bloopers this week….
“Goes to Lowe’s to buy a large shovel”
Thank you Rob & Matt for an awesome interview. Thank you Trey for for the great team work doing the interview and show.
But Trey? Your still in major trouble
:p

Milk – n – Cookies for all EXCEPT TREY! “giggles”
I am listening now and am greatly enjoying the interview. Kudos to Rob McGinnis & Matt Rorie for doing the interview. Many thanks to the podcast team for pulling this interview off and THANK YOU for asking some of my questions. I was totally stoked to hear them asked. I was cheering wildly at my office mate!
Great Podcast gang. Pass some of those cookies this way…
Ernie – Your quite welcome. I wish we had more time to add more community questions. I got what I could with the amount of time allowed.

Good questions on em. Was very happy to hear them comment on DMing and PW’s with NWN2. I hope Obsidian joins more and more NWN Podcasts.
Hi everyone!
Thanks to Liso and Trey for having us on the show. It was a lot of fun. When things calm down for us, we may be able to do more for the NWN Podcast.
Eat2Surf: We really liked your module. I loved the originality of it. It was a tough choice for us.
A real coup getting Rob on the podcast, Congratulations. I must say I have the utmost respect for him, and this is a bit weird, but it is because he has put up with so much BS from fans over the years.
Thanks for the compliment, Rob! And thanks for bein’ on the show!! Here’s hoping that I get to share interview honors when things calm down on your end *grin*
Whoa!!! And we got Rob here in our comments!!! Thanks Rob and Matt for being on the show!! Yes we would love to have you on more! Jay and I were just talking about some ideas today at lunch. I’ll try PMing you or find you IRC to see what you think. Thanks again!!!
*runs and hides from Michele
No Pocket Lint Lair and Naval Lint questions?! That’s so wrong.
Incidentally, I didn’t get the “names” of the contest winners. May we have them plz, in writing?

Btw is Black “Wolf” not Woof, Michele.
ffbj I have no idea what your talking about? wolf vs woof? huh?
He’s talkin’ ’bout when you said “Wuf” instead of Wolf.
Don’t worry.. we knew what you were talking about. 
LOL oh well. it would not be NWNP with out some pronunciation bloopers!
A possible suggestion for a future podcast would be from the scripting perspective. Sir Elric, now with Ossian, Cereborn, or Axe Murderer, come to mind.
I have to admit, I think deep down inside I expected Rob to sound suspiciously like the guy who did the end-of-game narration in the base OC…
