UOSAGAS Links:…

We are BACK with another episode with my good friend Patrick of Epic Lute Gaming! This was a excellent fire side chat into the world of Patrick. I really enjoyed hearing about his up and comings with UO and hearing about OSI. I think Patrick really is the content creator OSI needed to get some more activity going. I hope to watch Patrick continue t…

In this episode I sit down with Brianna Wu and we talk some UO. It is amazing how many people have played this game and the more I discover who has the better these conversations seem to get! Brianna has a very diverse background from game development to a passion for politics. This was a great walk down memory lane and we get to have some insight …

I was approached by John-Clark to help him on his quest to write a piece about Ultima Online. I was honored and humbled by this request and here is the raw audio file of our conversation. It has keyboard noise, in game noise and a host of other things that are very different from the normal format... Please share your feedback on what you thought..…

In this episode I sit down with Abigor of KOOL and discuss his personal history with UO and talk some OSI. I didn't know what to expect coming into this discussion as many believe OSI is not alive or on life support. I am biased in the fact that I play a free shard so I really wanted someone to challenge this idea and give me their opinion. At the …

In this episode I sit down with international sex symbol Trammy Surprise. He is known for stiff ebolts, epic steals and a whole bunch of fun. This is my favorite entertainer for UO and many will agree. This conversation flowed like butter and was one of the easiest episodes I have recorded. Trammy revealed some interesting facts about his OSI caree…

I sit down with ex Origin dev Billy Joe. This is one of the most revealing conversations I have had to full understand the underbelly of Origin. While on the other side we may have seen unbelievable cult classic titles the insides were not always so perfect. In this format I literally hit record and just had a conversation. Billy Joe turns about to…

In this episode I sit down with a triple threat unlike we have ever spoken to. Funeral brings ruthless pking, fashion and home deco that most would dream of! He is very well spoken for someone as commanding as he is. Funeral leads a massively successful guild called SoF on Outlands and has absolutely crushed every shard he has played. I enjoyed thi…

In this episode I sit down with a ruthless PK known as Coldpressed. I really enjoyed this conversation as his personality doesn't match the typical PK stereotype. A well spoken nice guy with a great outlook on life and the game. Seeing him grow his youtube and record / stream has been great to watch so please enjoy this episode! Coldpressed : https…

In this episode I sit down with a man that went viral playing the the game we all love... This episode is interesting as I did not give show notes like I normally do so this whole conversation is very organic. I hope this sheds some light onto what content creators go through behind the scenes and how sometimes going "viral" happens from the video …

In this episode I sit back down with Luthius and talk about his gaming background that many do not see. I think it's important to remember developers are human beings... While no one or anything is perfect we have to extend some grace sometimes... During this chat it is so clear in my mind that Luthius is just as a big nerd as any of us are. A hard…

In this special two part series I sit down with Luthius of UO Outlands. While freeshards may come and go I am absolutely certain this is the best coder we have ever seen for Ultima Online. The polish and thoughtfulness behind some of his creations are second to none. I think sometimes people even get used to the extreme level of detail done to most…

In this episode I tackle the question that has really sparked discussion... Is OSI alive? Do people still even play official servers? The answer to this question is a simple one but very complex. I am not sure we even get a full answer on it! Waffles however is a true gem for OSI and fully expresses his passion with a great story. The project he em…

In this episode I sit down with a world class internationally known gentlemen by the name of HelloGreedo. Greedo is a great friend I met a year or so ago on Twitter and quickly discovered we had something really unique in common : Ultima Online. This game is on of the few experiences that you can chat about for hours upon end. I wanted to sit down …

I sit down with Jaseowns and talk about his journey with UO and scripting. It was a very interesting story (wait until the last 5-10 mins!) that had me wanting to ask more questions. Jase is a very down to earth player and has carved himself a nice role as a scripting expert. It is very rare to find someone to willing to share his expertise in a pu…

In this episode I sit down with Evil Poptart. I have heard of this name all throughout my UO career but I never got the chance to play with or against him in the battlefield. We seemingly never crossed paths but I heard a great deal of his antics and PK acumen. This was a great sit down to fully understand how did Poptart come to be one of the most…

In this episode I sit down with the legend himself Adam Ant. I knew Adam Ant from Angel Island back in the day and I thought I heard he was in some comics so I came into this very intrigued. What I found was a old school player with a passion for UO. A coder that made programs and a bit of an activist with his initial Angel Island proposal which pi…

In this episode I sit down with Chill the GM of LoD. Leading one of the biggest guilds ever we take a deep dive on what makes him the leader he is. We also spend some time discussing the re birth of Angel Island and what happened with Chill vs Outlands. There is no debating the early onset of Outlands was completely dominated by LoD from the histor…

In this episode we talk to the most elite hacker Ultima Online has ever seen. We get a behind the scenes look at what happened during the 1998 and beyond launch of UO. This was one of my favorite episodes I have ever produced so please enjoy. Manfred in true hacker fashion wanted to remain in the shadows but wanted me to share these links: http://w…

In this episode I sit down with developer and long time Ultima Online player Stimwalt. We find out what drove him and inspired him to tackle Legends Of Ultima. This is a great behind the scenes to see what kind of player Stimwalt was playing Ultima Online. Legends Of Ultima is a true UO 2.0 reboot with 3D graphics. This fills the gap for a ton of p…

This episode I sit down with the infamous Omeg The Orc. This was a very interesting interview on not only Omegs origin story but behind the scenes of the Orcs. We talk about 28.8k connections all the way to Orcs plundering their own kind! This was a blast to produce and Omeg and I flowed very naturally making this feel like two guys sitting around …

I sit down with Puck from the UOR free shard and we talk about him personally and some in depth discussions about UOR. I think out of all the free shards this seems to be one of the most stable free shards I have seen. The consistent player base based on numbers that are available seem to be a testament to that fact. Puck is extremely well spoken a…

In this episode I sit down with the Grand Master PVPer himself Ansem UO. I would say one of the best well rounded PVPers in the history of UO going through various eras and shards. This is a great extremely technical breakdown of the mind of a top tier caster. The way in which Ansem breaks down certain mechanics was one of the best I have heard. As…

In this episode I explain what my thoughts are on the current free shard offering and what my opinions are for 2021. I didn't really include OSI as I haven't played in a long time. I only try to give you all real experiences and my thoughts reflect that. I think the run away hit here really is Outlands and the question and I spent time explaining m…

In this episode I sit down with the most notorious PK guild leader to ever grace Ultima Online: GluttonySDS. Whether you were a PK, Blue or anything in between you have certainly at some point in your UO career seen a EQMS tag. EQMS is a guild like never seen before as a mass amount of people would group up and cast Earthquake or Meteor Swarm as a …

In this episode I sit down with Pwnstarr Gaming and discuss his UO history and something a bit different which is the content creation side. Finding out who Pwnstarr knows makes UO such a small world for me as his unique take makes this one a real treat. I really appreciated hearing more about his YouTube channel as well. Video editing I feel is an…

In this episode I sit down with Lord Blackthorn himself and have a very open conversation about Ultima Online. We explore everything from Orcs, Trammel and even a few celebrities that once played. Even at an hour and half I felt like there was so much more to cover. Starr is a true example of how someone can embrace what they have created and even …

In this episode I sit down with the most Savage Bunny in all of UO. She may steal your heart and your gold if your not careful! Her rise to power is an interesting tale and finding out her upbringing with UO was great to hear. As the leader of the Money Guild on UOG Hybrid she has one of the hardest jobs of them all... Keeping the peace with some p…

In this episode I sit one on one with an absolute legend in the UO community. Chopper is well known for his website www.askchopper.com and started this all the way back in 1999/2000. We go behind the scenes and really no question was off limits. We learn how much did Chopper make from this site? How did he start it? This episode in my mind was so c…

In this episode I sit down with the leader of Free City of Trinsic Skye Wolfbane. She is the leader of a huge guild on UOF and this a unique take on how her past experiences have shaped her current role. From a PvM standpoint this was a very interesting chat as we actually agreed on way more than originally thought with PVP. Skye has also been a hu…

I take a seat with a best selling author Wed Locher. Wes brings his creative side like no other and explains how he got into Ultima Online. Writing a book is an under taking like no other and this unique take was equally fun to create and listen to. With the release of his second book I can tell Wes has as much passion as any of us. I am still amaz…

We go in depth about UO and MMO's and how it all shaped todays landscape. We bring up modern day MMO's and why they still can't seem to conquer what UO went through in 1999-2000. MorrolanTV is a true MMO…

Here is the final part of my talk with Lord British. This is one of the most fascinating interviews I believe I will ever do. We go into Red Alert, StarCraft, VR and current EA/Broadsword leadership. I ask the question if Garriott ever thinks about taking back UO and the answer is a bit surprising to me. We also talk about virtual and real world ec…

In this epic episode I get to sit one on one with Lord British himself. I get to know him I think like no one else I have heard and we explore the depths of not only his gaming career but what really inspires him to create these iconic games.

In a first ever live stream episode we peel back the layers and discover what makes Carl one of the most creative people I have spoken with. As a listener you will get the treat of hearing some UO music played live and some horror of me singing at the end! This was an …

In this episode we chat with perhaps the most interesting international OSI player: Say Simba. This is a fascinating look at how playing in China actually works and how many hurdles you have to overcome to play a banned game. We went through about 5 VPNs to make this happen and near a month of coordination this was a great project that came togethe…

In this episode I sit down with another moderator for Hybrid and we talk in depth about Hybrid and the new patch. The most striking was the Jarvis system and the gold share feature.

I sit down with Mister Lippy and go over his story and how he arrived on Hybrid. I also get a peak at behind the scenes of being a Discord moderator. I personally played Hybrid for many years after OSI and always loved the ruleset and PvP. Hybrid will always be something I mention or speak about as it played a part in my life for a long time. I bel…
