\\nIn this episode, we are still not at full strength as our 4th Musketeer could not be in attendance on account of work. Nevertheless we press on and get down to business by discussing what we\'ve been up to in-game: Jen raining down vengeance on all the demons, Nevik is spinning to win, and Breja had a close encounter of the Nate Kenyon-kind.

\\n* In case you\'ve been living under a rock Patch 2.0.1 was dropped into our laps a month ahead of the expansion. We even held a round table to find out how some folks from the community are enjoying the patch one week in. Now that we\'ve had two weeks with the patch, listen to see how the hosts are getting on with it.
\\n
\\n* Nate Kenyon recently paid a visit to Breja\'s son\'s school to talk about being an author and possibly inspire/conscript the next generation of Diablo novelists. As if that wasn\'t enough Breja had a chance to sit down privately and chat with him about all sorts of things and even provided us with some signed copies of Diablo III: Storm of Light. Stay tuned to for details on how to obtain one!
