Episode 7 – Giant Tomato Aug 28, 2007

Show notes

Hey guys! ^_^ So we were all ready to record and then, out of nowhere, we get this patch, and all of a sudden, we’re way behind on everything. This patch wasn’t even like a minor thing. It gave us two new cities to look through and explore. But in the end, we managed to record it relatively quickly, so here it is. ^_^

In News this episode, we discuss the new and upcoming MapleStory Anime, Giant Tomatoes, MapleThai, and, of course, Patch Ver. 0.41. It’s quite a bit to take in and this episode runs a little less than 1.5 hours. ^_^

This week, we brought around Newbie Tips for the 2nd time and even included a whole new section called Quest Corner. Hotspots also made its second appearance and we hope that all three are useful to you guys.

Anyhoo…we hope you guys enjoy this episode. ^_^

Anyway, just wanted to introduce you guys to our new site. ^_^ We have tabs at the top, and a sidebar to…uh…the side…right. ^_^

So anyway, we wanted to know what you thought of this site. Please leave us feedback on this new site in the comments on this post. If a bunch of people don’t like it, we’ll switch back to the old one. But yeah. Take a look around and let us know.

Hope you guys love it,

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Weekend Jul 25, 2007

Show notes

Hello everyone! ^_^

So here’s the thing. As most everyone knows, the last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out this weekend. Now, being a crazed fan of the series, I’ve already finished the book. So anyway, because of my fanaticism, Warez and I have decided to postpone the 6th episode of Aqua Road Radio until the weekend of August 4th.

Sorry guys, but yeah…basically, we’re skipping out on this week. >_>

Episode 5 – The Best of Times, The Worst of Times Jul 10, 2007

Show notes

Hey everyone. Episode #5 of Aqua Road Radio is out and do we have a show for you! ^_^ Just to let you all know, there’s plenty of times in this episode where the subject matter kinda goes off-topic, but hopefully, you guys will like it and hopefully it doesn’t bore you to death. ^_^

Well…in News this week, we talk about:

Leafre – Fiel’s Thread
HP Washing
An Emblem Generator
Strategy Wiki

We hope the information will be useful to you. ^_^

As for the Rant thingy, which is apparently, becoming less and less of a rant as we go along….we talk about our best and worst experiences of our MapleStory lives. I’m sure that some of you guys can relate to some of what we mention.

We also asked about a quest section and if you guys would be interested on hearing some of our opinions on various quests. The first suggestion was that we pick a random quest each week and go through all the nitty-gritty stuff about it. The second suggestion consisted of having you guys e-mail us with quests you’d like to hear about and we pick one out of those to go over for the episode. If you guys have any other ideas on how to do this, let us know. =P

Also, one of the e-mails we received, the one from Robert, was about pets and how us Maplers are actually influencing which pets we get. ^_^ It’s a great find. Thanks Robert! For all of those interested in checking it out and hopefully, volunteering some pet suggestions, you can find the GM Blog post here.

Like I stated in the episode, the phone number for the Voicemail Box has changed. The number has been changed on the blog, as you can see, so please use this one from now on. Thanks. ^_^

We hope you guys enjoyed the episode. =P

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 5

Episode 4 – A New Patch! (v. 0.39) Jun 28, 2007

Show notes

Hey guys. Sorry this episode’s a couple of days late. I’ve been so busy with quite a few things, so I wasn’t even able to THINK about this episode until this last Monday. And I figured if I put it off for another couple weeks, everyone would be disappointed, so I worked as fast as I could to get this out as soon as possible.

Well…all that aside, A LOT has happened since the last episode. We had a new patch, which consisted of new places, new quests, and new Cash Shop items, so the News section is quite long. Because of this, the Rant is kinda cut short. But it’s about enjoyment outside training. ^_^

I received a few voicemails, which is amazing, and a MYRIAD of e-mails. I wasn’t able to read all the e-mails on the episode and I hope no one feels offended by it. It’s just that there’s not enough time in the world to go through them all. Also please realize that I don’t just read out the first few e-mails I get and that I attempt to respond to each and every e-mail I receive. =P

As for what Jared was asking about, the MapleStory Music, can be found here. ^_^

Well…oh…before I go, the Voicemail Box phone number will be changing after June 30th. I believe that if you call the new number before June 30th, you’ll get a busy/fax tone thing, so don’t call it and spare yourselves the pain. But…AFTER JUNE 30TH THE ORIGINAL VOICEMAIL BOX NUMBER WILL STOP WORKING!!!! So yeah…Both numbers will be in the sidebar on the blog, and the old number will be taken down after it stops serving its purpose.

Much love guys. Sorry for the wait.

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 4

Episode 3 – Uncouth Youth Jun 11, 2007

Show notes

Hey guys. ^_^

Before I say anything else, let me tell you….this episode is SUPER LONG. It’s been like 2 hours since I finished recording it, and I’m still trying to catch my breath. Well….I hope that the episodes continue to stay this long, but if I don’t get some MP3s instead of e-mails, I don’t know if I can keep it up. So if you can, please get me some MP3s. If not, I’d still love to have your text e-mails. ^_^

So….It’s been a busy couple weeks. My summer internship started and I’ve been working 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday. Then once I get back home, I’ve been helping my sister study for her finals which are this week, actually.

On a brighter note, I got 12 E-mails and 2 people commenting on the blog. ^_^ It was a mixture of suggestions, comments, rants, etc. I LOVE IT!!! Much love to all those who sent in e-mails or posted comments on the blog. Aqua Road Radio would be nothing without you guys, so keep ’em coming! ^_^

In News this week…..nothing happened. May is over, but the 2nd Anniverasry Event is still underway, though I believe that Double EXP and Double Drop have ended. Hopefully….there’ll be more to talk about next time.

The Rant this episode is about the arrogance of some of the higher level characters. Although it’s more serious than last episode’s rant, I hope you guys enjoy it. ^_^

Well…I promised a few links, so here we go. Finding the right places to train is one of the hardest things to do. If you train at the “conventional” spot for you job and level, there’s almost always too many people there. If you train elsewhere, you usually get less EXP than you could have gotten. Justin asked about places to train, so here’re some sites with guides that I hope will help ^_^.

Gamefaqs
Gamespot
HiddenStreet
Basil Market
Sleepywood
MapleWiki
Neoseeker

As for the Maple Story DS trailer…..it is so horribly bad. It makes no sense to me. If someone gets it, please explain this to me. Also, there’s a gameplay video up on YouTube. It shows how the game is actually going to work, and in reality….it looks pretty bad…..

And here’s KIRBY_DS’s post about How Wiznet Should Make MapleStory DS

And finally, in response to what John said, Maroon 5’s Nothing Lasts Forever is AMAZING. And in fact, it reminds me of MapleStory every time I hear it. Click “Play” below to listen to it for yourself. ^_^

And now….the MOST IMPORTANT PART. If you look over to the right, under all the profile information, you should see an image that wasn’t there before. An image that says something about “MyChingo”. MyChingo is a site that lets you record yourself using a microphone through a java applet. Just click on the image. It’ll open up the Java applet. Type in your info, hit record, record a message, and click “Send Message” and I’ll get your message in an MP3 format. ^_^ Another way to get your voice up on Aqua Road Radio is through my newly created Voicemail Box. Just dial (641) 985-5999. Dial the extension (29728) and hit the # key. Go ahead and record your message and I’ll be able to download it as an MP3 and slip it right into the podcast. ^_^

Til next time. ^_^

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 3

Episode 1 – Welcome To Aqua Road Radio May 10, 2007

Show notes

Welcome to the first episode of Aqua Road Radio. My name is Shravan. You can read all about me to the right side of this page. I’ve been around playing MapleStory since the beta testing of Global MapleStory, but at the time didn’t realize that it was a beta. -_- In fact, I didn’t know until last summer (Summer ’06), when everyone was saying that Maple Global’s only been out for about a year and I knew that I played before that.

Anyway….this episode is more or less just an introduction to Aqua Road Radio. So I’m sure you’re all wondering what this podcast will be about. Well…of course we’ll have news of events, updates, and other such things, but mostly, I see this podcast as being more of me ranting on a subject and then asking you guys to e-mail me your opinions on it. If you have stories of amusing, funny, awkward, or weird moments, please send me an e-mail about it and I might read your story on the podcast. You can also record your own MP3 of your story, if you prefer, and e-mail me that instead. I can slip that right into the podcast and you could have your voice featured. I say “might” and “could” because I can’t guarantee that if you send me something, it’ll end up on Aqua Road Radio. Please keep in mind that it has nothing to do against you, but I can’t put up like 60 (I’m being optimistic…) or so responses in one podcast.

But Aqua Road Radio is more for you guys than me. I mean…you’re the ones listening to it. So let me know what you want to listen to. Give me suggestions and I’ll see if I can incorporate them into the podcast somehow. The first few podcasts are going to be more or less experimental anyway, to get it to the point where you guys actually want to listen to it. ^_^

As it stands, it looks like I’ll be posting a new episode about every 2 weeks. I’ll probably record them on a weekend and put it out early that week. Also, if you’re reading this, I’m sure you know by now, but the blog for the Aqua Road Radio is at http://aquaroadradio.blogspot.com. I’ve also talked quite a bit about e-mail. You can e-mail me at aquaroadradio@gmail.com.

Well…I believe that wraps up this episode. I hope to hear from you guys and hopefully, you’ll hear from me again in a couple of weeks. ^_^

~ Shravan

EDIT: I’d like to apologize to MapleCast, which was the first MapleStory podcast. MapleCast has 4 episodes released:

Episode 001: 7/30/06
Episode 002: 8/10/06
Episode 003: 8/13/06
Episode 004: 12/6/06 (titled “A New Beginning”, though they haven’t posted since)

However, they were still first. So I will be coming up with a new catch phrase and the banner for this blog will be changed to reflect that. Sorry again MapleCast.
