Warning: There is swearing in this podcast, so if you are offended by that you might want to only listen to the first half of episode #11.
Overall progress for the Loradon 3.0 Preview has reached 55%! We are not planning on making any further changes to the progress page (unless something needs to be fixed), so this should be a bit more accurate now.

After skimming the table of contents for the collision detection book, I have decided that I can skip about half of it. My current estimation is that I will be done by the end of next week. After that, this section might become interesting again!
On a side-note, I made a program to go through all SAO characters to find which ones were created by the same person. Characters are stored in individual files, so it's not as simple as querying a database server. It turns out that the Win32 API has a trio of functions for finding files, so creating this program was easier than I was expecting it to be.

This week has been fun since many people are trying the new monster! The leader boards thread made by miotatsu has been very active, as players have been gaining ranks, and even I have been passed up :) I am now ranked 4th and need to level up to 45 to be technically 3rd rank. I plan to do this soon to create more competition and fun.
For Loradon 3.0, it is fun to see an interview from 404 Radio! The interview was very interesting to hear, and the guys over at 404 Radio seemed pretty cool. My thanks go out to them for doing an interview and giving the community some praise. I would like our community to have a good reputation, and I suppose it is getting one, for being a friendly, small community that it is.
