b'Hey, look! It\'s another episode of Shattered Soulstone! Several attempts were made to record the show during the week of Christmas, but that just didn\'t end up working out. The Skype gods smited us, over and over again. We didn\'t give up, but we did learn why so many other podcasts chose not to try and record a show during that very busy week.
\\n
\\nAs usual, we started off by talking about what each of us had been up to in-game. Lantonnio has been playing D3 on console and also working on the ladder in D2. Breja has been "dabbling" in D3 Season 1. Jen has been running more bounties in D3 and working on a few last achievements in Season 1.
\\n
\\nIn this episode:
\\n
\\n* We got a lovely email from Rob, who started his email with "Greetings from the Netherlands!"
\\n
\\n* Scanline sent us an awesome little "audio email".
\\n
\\n* You can share your Diablo related thoughts, comments, and questions with us by sending an email to Show@ShatteredSoulstone.com
\\n
\\n* We read, and respond to, dozens of tweets send in by listeners of the show. \\xa0Tweets this time came from: @Paidtokill5440, @Sscytheandshield, @xbrokenxfirex, @Jaetch, @Kagerai_Leblue, @Moogyver, @sadromeo, @Rilandune, @grindexp, @JCMonkeyD3, @HomeTownHero008, @Cybrwolf0, @sastewart111, @scanline75, and a couple of tweets from @ShatteredStone. Thank you for your tweets. Don\'t forget that you, too, can send in your thoughts via social media outlets such as\\xa0Facebook,\\xa0Google+, and\\xa0Twitter.

\\nCONTEST!!!
\\n
\\nOriginally, we planned to sing you all a little "Diablo-ed up" Christmas Carol (as our "Song of the Show"). But, then the recording of the show got delayed and it felt kind of late to be singing Christmassy songs after the holiday had ended. The good news is that we have turned the creative lyrics that Lantonnio wrote into contest that all of you can participate in!
\\n
\\nStep one:\\xa0Record yourself singing this "Diablo-ed" up parody of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer":
\\n
\\nYou know Magda, and butcher, and
\\nMephisto, and baal,
\\nandariel, and Duriel, and
\\nbelial and Azmodan
\\nBut do you recall
\\nThe most infamous demon of all
\\n
\\nDiablo, the blood Horned Demon
\\nhad a very blody huge Horn
\\nand if you ever saw it
\\nyou would even say it Rors.
\\n
\\nAll of the other Demons
\\nused to laugh and call him names
\\nThey never let poor Diablo
\\nplay in any of the demonic games.
\\n
\\nThen one Evil Christmas eve
\\nBielsabob came to say:
\\n"Diablo with your Bloody Horn SO BIG,
\\nwon\'t you Terrorize the world tonight!?"
\\n
\\nThen all the Demons Hated him
\\nas they shouted out with Fear,
\\nDiablo the Bloody Horned Demon,
\\nyou\'ll go down in Misery!
\\n
\\nStep Two: Send that recording to the show Show@ShatteredSoulstone.com. Let us know if you want us to play it in an upcoming episode, or if you would prefer to keep that "off the air". Keep in mind that we want you to record it "acapella", (which means you don\'t need to put any music in the background - just sing!)
\\n
\\nStep Three: All of us at Shattered Soulstone will listen to, and evaluate, the entries. Somebody will win the prize of $20.00 in Battle.net. You must send in your entry before the end of January of 2015.
