[Audio Only] The Lincolncast, Episode 10 for the week of June 29th

This is the Giant Bomb community's Guild Wars 2 podcast.
...So. There was some news this week huh? Strap yourself in for a lean and mean podcast where we actually put thought to words and lay out what the release date really means to you and me, beyond the numbers and excitement. Also, we touch upon the stress test including (finally) some impressions of Ascalon Catacombs.

Music: "The Pentagon" by The Hamster Alliance

Featured Members: selfconfessedcynic , Dourin , No0b0rAmA  , Tarkhein

Topics for the week:
- Now that we've calmed down, we talk about our reactions to the release date using coherent sentences
- What are the strategic implications of Arenanet's chosen timing?
- With the final BWE announced, we discuss how the betas have been handled and how effective the process seems to have been
- We talk about our fears for issues which will most likely remain in the game come release
- We round out our announcement discussion with some good old speculation on what will be in the third beta
- Noob walks us through his run of Ascalon Catacombs and enlightens us upon balance and class dynamics in GW2
- And finally, we share stories of our experiences in the awesome Beta / Stress test ending events.
