Strange Tales...After Dark. Bow-chick-a-brown-cow! Unfortunately, in our quest to improve ourselves, we had one more guest than we expected, by the name of Murphy. Murphy is a jerk. Messing with our audio levels, making weird pops, and demolishing Dahk's internet connection every few seconds...On the other hand,Fraya from Enigma found time to sit in after a raid session to give his thoughts on tanks, what it's like to be a guild leader, and guilds leaving or staying. And don't forget to help con...

No fancy title. Just Tony Rey. THE Tony Ray. Wildstar's very own Community Manager brings some humanity to STOS for a week where we talk about about changes in the game, Carbine's openness, and we learn more about one of our favorite Nexus Reporters.

Will we get sued if we finish that sentence? (YES -Croog) Crit Happens on Warbringer has come to an end...because Warbringer has effectively come to an end.. You can now find the STOS Crew on Pergo under the guild name [STOS], and we'll be keeping that name through the megaserver transition (Carbine willing)! In this week's show, Dahk has an issue with spoliers because an awesome datamine has come to the surface. Also Tony Rey is coming on next week! So send your questions to our email, twitter,...

MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Games Com has come and gone, and while the boys couldn't be there, they recap some of the goodies left in the wake from Germany. Defile PTR notes also drop showering some love on the red-headed step child called "Runes". Some deep thoughts go around in response to an NC Soft report, and there is a slight (not slight) discussion on the state of MMO's. All that and more this week on STOS!

Another week has gone by as we get ready for Sabotage to drop, but never fear, lots more happened in the past PTR that the crew brings up today.

(YES -Dog)All will be revealed, and more! Like what could happen to Twitch and it's Wildstar content after the Google acquisition is complete? Can rune crafting be saved? And finally, a sneak ...

This week, the boys are joined by their first ever community guest, Dox! He is a role player on Evindra who takes time out of his night to give everyone a bit of insight on what it's like to RP, Wildstar style. The crew also dissect the PTR and Class Update notes, where they realize that customization may not always be the greatest choice, Medics are ready to wub wub all night long, and Dahk missed out on the chance of a life time (and will forever be a sub-par Spellslinger) Notes: PTR Update No...
