TGR Hits The Omega Sektor

On March 21st, some of the Titan Gaming Radio staff and DJs headed to sunny, sunny Birmingham: at which point it immediately started to snow. Braving the snow, these intrepid individuals made their way to the Omega Sektor, aka "The Play Place" for four days of gaming - as hosted by those lovely chaps and chappesses from NCsoft. On BOTH sides of the Atlantic.

As any players of City of Heroes/Villains will know, War Witch is quite possibly the coolest developer the game has. The character is cool, her job is cool (redesigning Faultline, anyone?), and she fits into the EU community like a dream. But in real life...

She's cooler! And TGR were lucky enough to get to meet her:

She even accepted a TGR baseball cap from DJs Guardian and Piratevision (shown above), whom she asked to sign said baseball cap for her!

And later on, as if all that wasn't enough, she allowed us to interview her! And you can watch the interview for yourself here.


It wasn't just War Witch who proved to be beyond cool, the Omega Sektor staff were fun, friendly and eagerly willing to put up with hundreds of sleep deprived, caffeine fueled, geeky gamers, for four whole days! We don't know how they managed it, and TGR wants to express our thanks to every single one of them. Not least for allowing DJ Guardian to do a live DJ set from their own DJ booth:

He's a super-cool DJ...


There's more!
As any regular listeners to DJ Guardian's shows will know, he is an immense Transformers geek. Anything there is to be known about Transformers, this guy knows it - and more. So when we found out none other than Andrew Wildman was going to be there, along with Draw The World Together, we were thrilled, and DJ Guardian had a geekgasm. It got even better when TGR was awarded an interview with none other than Andrew himself: which you can watch in all its glory, here


I can honestly state that TGR has never had as much fun as we had this past weekend. We're all still knackered from it, but would do it again in an instant. We'd like to express our thanks to everyone from NCsoft, the sidekicks, the Omega Sektor staff, Draw The World Together and of course everyone who attended, for making this event so very enjoyable; and to all who took part in Titan Gaming Radio's Gaming Quiz, Featuring Gaming: thank you for making all the work we did so worth it!

And as a final prize, we offer the Official Titan Gaming Radio Video Diary of the event, for your viewing pleasure:

Thank you, everyone,
