Episode 4 Delayed

Due to several real-life inconveniences (such as Evan heading off to E3 next week), Episode 4 of the ArmaCast will be delayed for a little while. Worry not, however, as there are plenty of other things that you can do in the meantime. Why not check out Keenan’s Lead and Gold Review at Game Central?  Or the new and improved PC Gamer website?  Hell, if you’ve got enough time, why not immigrate to Canada?

Hopefully we will have a new ACE-themed show for you the week after E3.  Cheers!

Show Notes

Special Assignment: CSAR Jolly Green CO-14

  • We incorrectly attributed the Special Assignment mission to “Kyllikki.” Kyllikki is a group of mission makers. The real author is Shuko, a member of that group.
  • Our server, The War Walrus, has a password. “Lagabond” is the password.
  • If there any suggestions, tips, or issues you had with the podcast, go ahead and get in contact with us. Feel free post in the comments below, as well.
  • The latest episode of Impulse TV showcases ARMA 2. It is a fantastic introduction to those unfamiliar with the game. Check it out!
