The Efts on The Most Popular Girls on the Internet!


Listen to the excellent podcast here -->   Episode 177: Games as Art

Tara and Cassandra (The Most Popular Girls on the Internet) are awesome for a lot of reasons:  they can game with the best of us, they are very smart, very funny, and have enchanting voices.  In other words they are the best case scenario for a Vented party member in any mmorpg you might have tried.  They have been promoting geek culture for years on their site, which is probably already familiar to most of our nerdy fans.  We've been included on their podcast today with our song This Love Is A Robot.  They said some wonderful words about our music and it made us feel great.  We beg you to become part of their dedicated crew of listeners, support their endeavors, and make their podcast a weekly part of your lives.  Thanks so much Tara and Cassandra!  You are loved.

Disenchanted




Throughout life we become enamored to certain ideals, places and people.  Eventually the spell becomes less powerful and we become disillusioned to those things we once held dear.  This song is about that facet of human existence.  We hope this tune provides support to those of you who find yourselves paddling in your disenchanted lifeboats, dodging waves of frustration.  A big thanks goes out to The Efts Beta Listening Team member Tanner Haid for his lyrical expertise.  After listening to an earlier version of this song, he provided some extra words which we added to the final 2 stanzas.

Lyrics:

With the scales that fall from your eyes
you can see the space between lies
Like a hero that will fall to his knees and then dies
You are disenchanted.

You can try to plea for your lives,
humanize and fake empathize 
but your slumping shoulders will not rise
You are disenchanted.

Am I losing luster?
Should I be a truster?
I don't want to know.

You could hear my whispers and cries
I've been advised of my demise
I can see right through your disguise.
I am disenchanted.

You are losing luster.
You should have been a truster.
You are disenchanted.
I am disenchanted.

The Efts on The Siege!


Listen/Download the podcast here --> The Siege #19: To Grind or not to Grind...

We play a lot of Guild Wars 2 these days.  We'd love to play all the time, but occasionally we have to stop for work, driving, eating, shopping, etc.  Luckily there are some options for those non-gaming moments in our lives, namely podcasts like The Siege.  The crew of GW2 experts at The Siege provide an excellent weekly tour of the latest news related to our current gaming focus.  We're thrilled to have been included in their latest episode.  Hearing the The Siege team discuss our devotion to Chris A Ivey was a genuine delight.  If you share our love of GW2, we implore you to check The Siege often.  Listen to their words and let their guidance make you the envy of your server.
