Yivvits and Mrbubble!

Surprise! Catch up with your old pals Yivvits and MrBubble as the podcast awakens!

Yivvits and MrBubble have definitely been waiting for the trailer a LONG TIME, and the idea of recording just a quick podcast to get their opinions out there was a great idea! Listen to the boys talk about how the trailer affected them, in a podcast that will take you all the way back to 1977!

Check it out!  Another new episode of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble!

Oh my goodness, can this be possible? I guess it is! This is a brand new, fresh podcast of Yivvits and MrBubble, where we catch up with the boys as they discuss Sony, Star Wars Galaxies, the new Rebels cartoon, and the future of the emulator "Swgemu." Throughout the episode, look out for plenty of familiar voices, soundboard playfulness, deep thoughts and concepts, plus exciting new dance moves. Yivvits and MrBubble are back, so come and join us for new adventures!

After a long break... a very long break, we finally dusted off the microphones and we're back! In this episode: Yivvits has a really awesome idea, we fill you in on what we've been doing for the past year, and for the first time ever hear what MrBubble *really* sounds like. Enjoy!

In this episode, we lay to rest our very good friend, Star Wars Galaxies. We take some time to give a brief history of the game, listen another player's opinion of the shutdown, discuss our own feelings on the matter, and MrBubble tells us a little bit about the SWG EMU. Finally, Yivvits wonders if some virtual worlds should be preserved even after they officially close. Enjoy!

It's been a while but we are finally back in the swing of things! Much like a moisture vaporator that never quite performed as well as Owen Lars expected, it won't be long before the SWG power generators are shut down one last time. On the plus side, your pals Yivvits and MrBubble are still here! In this episode, first we fill you in on why this episode took so long. Then, we talk to an old in-game friend and yammer some more about SWG closing. Next, because you, our listeners, haven't been sending us enough questions/comments, we spend way too long talking about radial arm saws. (When have we ever stayed on topic?) Finally, another old friend of the podcast calls in to chat about the closing of SWG, none other than Jason "Pex" Ryan! Enjoy!

Episode 142 is our first live call in show and we had a blast hearing from you! You'll probably remember some of our callers from previous episodes or the SWG forums. Hear what they have to say about the closure of SWG, what games they'll be playing, and much more. Didn't get a chance to call us? You're in luck! We'll be making this a fairly regular addition to the show. Be sure to follow our Twitter or join our Facebook group so you know when the next live call in time is scheduled!

After an extremely crazy start to summer Yivvits and MrBubble are back! As we mentioned in episode 140, each show will now be "disclaimed" by one of listeners reading the SWG Pledge. This week it's Jackson - thanks Jackson! Next, we begin to plan for the return of our in-game parties in 2012. Unfortunately, our plans hit one impassable roadblock. MrBubble talks about his recent stroke and fills us in on his progress (he's doing great!). He's also had some time to try out another MMORPG and even check out the SWG EMU. All this and much more in Episode 141!

Looking for something to do while you sit patiently at your computer or TV, waiting for some indication of when SOE or PSN might come back online? Need something to fill up all the free time you've had lately? You've already watched some informational videos about the honey badger, so what else is there? Maybe this will help - a new episode of Yivvits & MrBubble! This one was recorded prior to Sony Online going Offline. It's got everything: a new 'challenge' for you, info about the new free character transfer service in SWG, space bounty hunting, Yivvits longing for the old days, and Mr. Bubble singing show tunes. See? Everything!

Looking for an episode of Yivvits and MrBubble with LOTS of Star Wars Galaxies content? Look no further than episode 139! MrBubble has been popping in to check out the recent entertainer update and in between his grueling dance sessions he's been playing with some of the vendor and bazaar changes from previous game updates. Also this week - we chat about the recent SOE layoffs, the current producer's letter, and read a bunch of messages from you!

Start your day off right with a delicious helping of Yivvits and MrBubble! We begin this episode with an update on we've been playing - Yivvits has been running around in DC Universe Online and MrBubble has been flinging some Angry Birds. After another Mystery Beverage we listen to something sent to us by SOE's Jason "Pex" Ryan. We won't spoil the fun in the show notes, but it has to do with SWG and you won't hear it *anywhere* else! We finish things up with a discussion on the value of a product having lots of "likes" on Facebook.

Welcome to the first 2011 episode of Yivvits and MrBubble! This week, we hear about some part time work Jar Jar recently picked up and fill you in on what we've been doing in Star Wars Galaxies. Also, voice mail left by 'Dr. Quest' and 'Zurthas' spark some pretty nerdy Star Wars and techy discussions. All of this and much more awaits you in this colossal episode!

Happy Holidays from Yivvits and MrBubble! Here's your gift from us - another episode of YaMB! There isn't much to say about this one other than e-mail, e-mail, E-MAIL! We have a bunch of e-mails to go through and they cover all sorts of topics such as SWG, old vs. young Aunt Beru, and gathering around map readers. If you'd like to send us a gift in return we'd love for you to shoot us an e-mail, or better yet, a voice mail message!

Welcome back to another episode of Yivvits and MrBubble! We start out this episode with a rousing discussion about raw foods and reality shows based on little people. After those important discussions we move on to a big announcement about the future of Yivvits and MrBubble in Star Wars Galaxies! We round things out with a brief look at the recent SWG producer's letter and then end this one a little shorter than usual. No worries, now we have even MORE to talk about in the next episode!

Greetings friends! We're so glad you could join us for another episode of Yivvits and MrBubble! Here is what you'll find inside Episode 134: MrBubble goes on a trip to visit his brother Pirates of the Burning Seas goes free to play EQ2 server mergers, oh noes! Lots of SWG specific listener e-mails - Keep them coming! Listener voice mail messages, and tons of laughs!

Hello and welcome to another episode of Yivvits and MrBubble! This week we continue to answer more of your voice and e-mail questions. Thanks to all of you who are sending us stuff to talk about! Remember, your questions and comments drive what is discussed on the show so don't be shy - you've got nothing to lose - send us an e-mail or leave us a voice mail message! Also this week we discuss the finer points of running a BBS, chat with MrBubble's cleaning droid, Jane, and Yivvits vents his recent frustrations with his longtime favorite gaming company.

Here it is, another action packed episode of YaMB! We have a lot to talk about this week thanks to you, our listeners. (keep sending in those e-mails and voice mails!) You're sure to enjoy all of the SWG talk again this week including a magnificent rehash of a past discussion - the expansions SWG SHOULD have had: SWG The Empire Strikes Back and SWG The Return of the Jedi! We'll also take a quick look at the September producer's letter and a bunch of your messages. Sprinkle in our usual antics and there you have it, episode 132!

Welcome to another episode of Yivvits and MrBubble! This week we have a pile of listener e-mail messages to read through, we discuss the Clone Wars Adventures, and offer our thoughts about the longevity of SWG. We also take a quick look at the recently released "free-to-play" version of EQ2 and wonder if something similar could work with SWG. If you've been hoping for more SWG talk, this episode is for you! Remember, your questions and comments drive what we discuss, so keep sending us those voice and e-mail messages!

The past couple months have been very busy for Yivvits and MrBubble but our hiatus is at an end! You'll find out all sorts of fun things in this episode such as MrBubble's move and what games we've been playing (or not playing). This one is a chance for you to catch up on what we've been doing but don't forget to let us know what YOU'VE been doing by sending us an e-mail or voice mail!

He's got a red head, loves Diet Pepsi Max, and recently used up one of his nine lives. He's RedHeadedTim the podcast librarian and he's our guest for the entire episode! We've been fairly light on SWG news lately but Tim has been playing like crazy and has a lot to talk about. Also in this episode: some of Tim's "Tuesday Tips," another mystery beverage (the worst one yet), and the *real* culprit behind the broken oil pipe.

Here comes another delicious helping of SWGwYaMB! This is yet another addition to our collection of gab-fest episodes. Of course, that describes about 98% of our shows. We touch a lot of topics including: more NPR comedy, MrBubble's recent exploration into a certain Facebook game, 2012 predictions, listener e-mail, and a bunch of your voice mail messages. Oh yeah, we even talk about SWG at some point! Enjoy, and we'll see you again soon!

Just in time for your weekend is Episode 127 of SWGwYaMB! Not as much SWG discussion as other episodes, but it IS full of everything you love about us (or, everything you love to hate). We bid farewell to MrBubble's first MMO, There.com and consider what parts of SWG were influenced by the kind of gameplay There offered. One of your favorite past bits is back, the mystery brown-bag beverage and Yivvits picked a great one. We have a TON of your voice mail messages to play and we answer an e-mail question. Finally, MrBubble has a special treat for us! We won't spoil it here though.

Well hello there! So nice of you to join us for another installment of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble. This one has something for everyone! Yivvits talks about the new GCW system and quickly goes over the latest "Letter from the Producer." MrBubble updates us on what he's been playing while enjoying more expensive pistachio nuts. Finally, we have a single lonely voice mail message, we chat with our buddy Yoda, and have some fun with download statistics. One follow up to this episode - Since we recorded it, our friend "RedHeadedTim" the Podcast Librarian is doing great! He's on the mend now and we hope to see him again soon!

Here is a little something for you to enjoy while defending (or destroying) Bestine tonight! First up, we dedicate this episode to our friend "Red Headed Tim" aka the podcast librarian who is currently in the hospital. Get well soon Tim! The cantina just isn't the same without you! Next, we go over our first impressions of STO and MrBubble has some fun in Free Realms. We also talk about the recent update that has finally brought the Galactic Civil War in SWG front and center. Finally, we tell you our own hopes for the coming year in SWG.

Hi friends! Our first 'normal' episode of 2010 is really from 2009, crazy! We held this one back in order to focus on our holiday special. Actually, the delay allowed it to ripen on the vine and grow into a deliciously plump episode. Yivvits describes a new MMO he's developing, we hear about Obi-Wan's latest business venture, and we play a bunch of YOUR voice mail messages! (And yes, we know the intro says 'episode 123' :-p)

While traveling to their homeworlds, Yivvits and MrBubble run into some trouble and reluctantly resort to calling on an old friend for help. Will Yivvits make it back to Kashyyyk in time for Life Day? Will MrBubble make it back to Sullust for The Thirteen Days of Licking?

Here's another gab-fest episode of Yivvits and MrBubble! Let's get right down to business: MrBubble wonders where all the dancers have gone, Yivvits finds more road blocks to fun, players generate 3 million quests using the Chronicle Master system (4 of which were not just for grinding), and Padme spins the big General Grievous wheel. Will she win the Showcase Showdown???

Haven't listened to episode 120 yet? Well you better get going because here's 121! This week we welcome Padme back to the show and we have a new sponsor! We find out that MrBubble has fooled all of us and he's really a Jawa (which explains a lot), Yivvits has a new power-rant you won't want to miss, we remember an event that happened in November of 2005, the producer's letter, music and dance, Chronicles, oh my gosh so much! As for the roller grill... we aren't going to spoil that one in the show notes. You'll have to listen!

Here is the latest episode of SWGwYaMB! This one was crafted with loving care using only the softest handpicked silk, the most luxurious cashmere, and only the finest ribbons. The most important part of this week's show is the fact that our old pal Obi-Wan is back in the studio! How can you top that? We can't, but this episode also contains the following ingredients: We are sick of the no-trade game mechanic, how to become the assistant podcast librarian, we BOTH played some SWG, we listen to some voicemail messages, and we try to figure out the state of the game.

Hello again friends! We're finally settling into our new studio and boy do we have a lot to chat about. In this episode MrBubble talks about the sorts of things he searches the Internet for when he can't sleep and this leads us to a new game, "Reptoid, Robot, or Real?" Listen to find out how we classified Smed, Draakull, and other very important people. We answer a letter from a listener on Bria and then get updates on what we've both been doing in real life and in-game.

If you remember from our last episode we are currently in the process of moving into a new recording studio. Unfortunately, construction was delayed when the contractor uncovered a nest of lava fleas in Yivvits' house but do not fear, for here is another "From the Couch" episode! Listen as we discuss topics such as: what we've been up to, does SWG have enough developers, and potted plants! [Thank you to our podcast librarian "RedHeadedTim" for reviewing (proofing) this week's show! This episode was recorded prior to the release of game update 13.]

Hello again everybody! We're currently in the process of moving our studio to a new location but that doesn't stop us from gabbing about Star Wars Galaxies! We broke out the mobile recording rig and whipped up this little beauty for ya. We discuss the recently announced server closures (which opens up a few old wounds), the upcoming Chronicles update, and MrBubble's favorite reality TV series. Studio or no studio, you can't keep Yivvits and MrBubble down!

Hey looky here, a new episode of SWGwYaMB! In this episode we read a couple of letters from listeners and one includes a nice little gift. This, of course, made us very happy. The happiness continued with some great voice mail messages, updates on what we've both been doing the past few weeks, and some Update 12 discussion. Unfortunately, the happy streak ends when MrBubble finds out that Yivvits "forgot" to edit out some bits from the last episode. In an attempt to help MrBubble, Yivvits asks an old friend to stop by and share some of his sage advice. Download and listen now! We'll be back in September with even more Yivvits and MrBubble tomfoolery! (Also, this episode was recorded before Update 12 went live. Anything we discussed may have changed when the update was pushed to live.)

Here it is, our gargantuan two hour long Fan Faire 2009 Memories episode! You've probably listened to the SWG panels we recorded, but this is the episode where we pull it all together and tell you about our Fan Faire experiences. In fact, there's so much SWGwYaMB goodness in this one that we had to resort to using bullet points for the show notes! Here are just a few of the things in this episode: We discuss the Chronicle Master system and tell you what we think it means for the gameOverview of our time in VegasInterviews with a bunch of SWG playersInterviews with Teesquared, AdeptStrain, Debysue and even Virrago (Who is Debysue? You'll have to listen to find out!)MrBubble falls in love ... ?Voicemails from listeners telling us what they think of the planned additions to SWGEverything else you've come to expect from your pals, Yivvits and MrBubble. Also, this one marks the 4th anniversary of our podcast! Not many shows make it past a year, let alone four, and we're now one of the longest running MMORPG podcasts out there. We can't thank you enough for your continued interest in our show! Thanks for listening everybody, and enjoy!Yivvits and MrBubble

This is part two of the two hour long "Galactic Gathering" panel. In this panel the developers explained what the rest of this year holds for SWG and answered a ton of questions from the audience. Also, Dotanuki spent some time explaining Death Troopers in greater detail. If you're still not exactly sure what Death Troopers will mean for SWG then listening to this panel is a must. The gathering also included some trivia, 'Happy 6th Birthday SWG!' cake, and a Wookiee roar contest.

This was the podcasting discussion panel which MrBubble and I participated in. The audience was mostly made up of EQ/EQ2 players as there happened to be a SWG TCG panel at the same time. I think Brenlo "I'm Alan" Crosby scheduled it that way as payback for all the sound clips of him we've played on our show. Ah, of course I'm only kidding! I'm Alan! /grin. Special thanks to SOE for letting us participate in the panel again this year. It is always a really fun discussion! Also, thanks to Eldarwen and DrQuest for asking us some great questions. (Please note that the panel discussion was rather candid and contains a few... tasteless jokes.)

What an exciting week! Fan Faire 2009, Empire Day in SWG, another TCG expansion with even more "exciting" loot, and now this - a new episode of SWGwYaMB! In this episode we talk about our Fan Faire plans, hash out a couple of ideas for SWG, and once again remind everybody why we feel the way in which the free character transfers were done actually hurt rather than helped the community. We also have some more voice mail from listeners weighting in on our continuing debate: Hide or display your toys when dating? We finish up the show by opening up a gift one of our listeners sent us.

It's the eve before recording Episode 114, and MrBubble can't sleep! If Larry can't sleep, no one can sleep! MrBubble calls Yivvits and they talk about the feedback for Episode 113 and what Episode 114 may contain. MrBubble also tries to have another conversation with Lola, but yet again blows it.

We have so many exciting things to discuss in this episode! In fact, we got so excited that we read the wrong date during the intro. Thankfully, we were able to hire an affordable voice over actor to fix the problem. I think he's a pretty close match for MrBubble so you won't even notice it! We start out this episode with some discussion about SOE's most recent release, Free Realms. Like we always do, we work Star Wars into even this topic. Incredible! We also discuss the recently announce shutdown of The Matrix Online and Yivvits has an idea for keeping even "closed" MMO's alive (in a sort of blue glowy sense). MrBubble talks about his most recent business venture on the outskirts of Mos Eisley and some plans he has for Fan Faire.

Hungry for a little something before Episode 113? MrBubble sets up his old podcasting gear and surprises Yivvits by calling him EXACTLY when Yivvits is editing our next episode! It's wacky!

Hello friends! This week's episode is a "Dantastic" mix of topics! Some listener voice mail messages prompt us to revisit a bunch of discussions from previous episodes including the most recent debate, "should you hide your geek toys before a date visits?" Also, we give some advice to a couple of aspiring podcasters, give a shout-out to one of our loyal podcast fans, and comment on the new housing choices introduced in SWG game update 9. Oh! We also announce that we'll be at Fan Faire 2009 in Las Vegas and once again participating in the podcast discussion panel!

You're probably wondering, "Hey! Where's episode 110?" Well, one of our guests in 110 (the "missing" 2008 YaMB Holiday Extravaganza) has yet to return his release papers. Until we get them, we can't put the show out. I won't say who it is... but his name rhymes with Pando Ralcissian. So, while you wait please enjoy episode 111! First, Yivvits and MrBubble both put down their bets on when Game Update 9 would go live. Since the update went live last week you'll find out if our guesses were even close! Next, MrBubble tells us about his trip to visit our podcast librarian, Red Headed Tim, we debate whether or not it is best for geeks to hide their toys when asking a date over, and we bring up a couple ideas for SWG. Finally, MrBubble rates which SWG species are the most drama prone.

Here's a little something to get you in the mood for a very special upcoming episode of SWGwYaMB!

Welcome to another installment of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! First up, MrBubble finally explains why he doesn't like worms. Yes, ever since the show started in 2005 we know you've all been waiting to find out why that is. Your wait is over! Thankfully, later in the episode Yivvits ties this story back into the Star Wars universe - amazing! Next, we bring you up to speed on what we've been doing in SWG (and other games), followed by some great voice mail messages from our listeners. We finish off the show with a quick run-down of what's coming in game update 9 and MrBubble reveals which clothing item he most wants added to the game.

Welcome to another fine episode of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! Recently while shopping for some MSE droids, Yivvits picked up a new studio helper droid, Roger. We think you'll like him just as much as we do. Next, we catch up on voice mails and letters from you, our fantastic listeners! Then, a very special treat - the reading of a letter MrBubble wrote all the way back in 1990. What was it about? You'll have to listen to find out! Finally, we round out the show with our honest feelings about where TCG loot is taking the game.

Two new episodes in three days? Either you're really lucky or "we've got a lot to talk about!" Yes, episode 107 is a Bothan sized slice of SWGwYaMB pie. MrBubble give us a rundown of his latest in-game endeavors, we have some thank you messages, and even an apology. We also talk about the housing pack-up event and some additional Update 8 tidbits.

In addition to the bubbling fountains of chocolate, classy tuxedo wearing protocol droids, and those juicy camby berries, Chief Chripa brought something else for you - a brand new episode of Star Wars Galaxies with Yivvits and MrBubble! In this episode we read a letter from one of our listeners, discuss the Ewok Festival of Love, Lando finds out just how good Nutty Bars are, and we come to the conclusion that micro-transactions are already part of Star Wars Galaxies. Enjoy!
