Two hosts and two characters discussed this week, coincidence?
Yes.
Listen to the whispers of OblivAeon here.
I don't know if I typed it wrong or if it just didn't translate, but it should have been Schmoctor Schmho.

Perfect timing! I discovered the podcast at PAX Unplugged via a bookmark given to me when I bought the RPG Starter Set, and yesterday finished every episode. i awoke today with nothing to listen to at work, and was going searching for something when the notifcation for this popped up on my phone!
Christopher and Adam, you have saved me from having to find something less wonderful to do for a few more hours!
Probably didn't translate the pronunciation right – "ho" doesn't automatically make a "hoo" sound.
Yeah, that's definitely a "Schmoe" to me. :B
It'll be interesting to see if that plug for the forums gets us any new followers. I would've figured everyone listening to the podcast is here already. <.<
So this was pretty fun! Lots more world-building than actual character story, I think. I mean, the way Infinitor's story plays out in the podcast is more less what we already knew from the game, but more info about Cap was good if nothing else, and of course we got tons of great Oblivaeon goings-on. Now I just have to decide which of Inifinitor's first two appearances is the best one to set that fanfic I started writing last year. :V
Nope. I'm not here for one.

Nice reveals about Oblivaeon here.I also liked the fact that infintor and Nigel were different characters initially, it adds flavour to the SCPU I was surprised that there was only one Heroic Infintor event. I thought maybe he hung around for a while before losing control again
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought it was Ermine.
I thought it was originally Ermine but some other threads pointed out it was Tachyon.
Yay, I was right about Infinitor being a Scion-in-progress :D
Not sure why Adam calls me "Bruce," though. At least, it sounded like Bruce?
Edit: Nah, he said "Burning Stickman," he just said it quick and the words ran together.
...
The banter...
So... much... Banter...
...
It's fun, but... the calling a help center bit was too much for me.

I was kind of amused at someone thinking Infinitor was fangirl bait (not really any of the Sentinels character I'd pick for that title), but even more amused at Chrono-Ranger being Adam's type of cute guy, though I won't exactly disagree.
Also all the shipping questions in the episode. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks Space Dad is cute. Also glad that Christopher agrees with me that most of the time when people hate people, it really truly means they actually hate that person. (Srsly, so many personal pet peeves for that particular shipping trope. :P)
Still side-eyeing Argent and Tempest a bit now for apparently just leaving poor Cosmic out somewhere in space so that the Void Guard has to pick up the slack.
Edit: Yeah I noticed the Idealist project bit too; my precious psychic child's idea just sounds better and better. :D
Also it should be noted to TakeWalker and others that there's actually a lot of people over on Reddit and Steam who have actually been trying to get accounts here (including the poor Cult of Gloom) and have yet to be approved.
No offense to C&A, but if the podcast is going to point people over into signing up for the forums here, the process kinda needs to be stepped up a wee. (I know getting my own account approved back in the day took basically forever too...)
Oh, the banter was great this time!
And I noticed another tease about that Argent Adept/Idealist project that I think Jeysie asked about once. It sounds like it's going to be a big reveal; I have to imagine it'll be a mission reward or something in the Oblivaeon scenario.
This endcap of the episode was by far my favorite
"Is this how you speak into a microphone? It's been so long, I can't remember!" He just sounde so worried, it was just too funny to me...

I was kind of surprised this was the most shipping question heavy episode.
@Princess Cool: Clearly no woman can resist a British accent, a boss jacket, and a stylish beard.
Technically you guys are protected by The Schmoctor
Schmoctor Schmwho is just the name of the show.
I grew up in the years between Classic and New Schmwho so the human Schmoctor Schmwho played by Scheter Schusing is Canon to me

I thought that was the best part (of the banter)! For Tachyon, press 2... beep boop beep.
Honestly, I really like the episode, and the shameless forum plug just boosted my opinion of it. The shipping questions were pretty great, and if I wasnt straight, I would definitely go for (PW) CC
Finally got to listen to the episode... aaand i screwed up Christopher's name in one of the questions....Now, I must, "you know, go to the box, for two minutes, by myself and feel shame."
