- Early on, I spent a bit of time talking about and evangelizing Sophisticated Backpacks.
- While talking about my desire to build things, I started to also talk about the MMORPG, Dark Age of Camelot.
- Later on, I also talked about the MMORPGs, Ultima Online, Asheron’s Call, World of Warcraft, Everquest, and Everquest II.
- When referring to the lack of checks and balances in Ultima Online, I referred to it as a “Lord of the Flies” system… a complete social and civil breakdown.
- I somehow wound up talking about my time in the Air Force and I mentioned that I was stationed at RAF Greenham Common on the outskirts of Newbury in Berkshire. From there I frequently journeyed to London on daytrips via British Rail.
- I also talked about taking a trip to Ireland through Morale, Welfare, and Recreation.
- When talking about one of the inspirations for this project, I mentioned ImagineerDave.
Ever since I watched The Sting as a child, I have loved Ragtime music. However, I am not a musician, composer, or even a particularly knowledgeable fan of music. I enjoy what I enjoy and that includes many different genres of music. However, Ragtime is the soundtrack for the era I am simulating and this may the first time that modern listeners may be exposed to it. So I am including some general Ragtime links and whatever information I can find on the particular tracks I used in this episode.
