elizabeth: Hello madlep. How are the new site features for PRS we discussed going? madlep: Yeah, coming along. I’ve been pretty busy lately. elizabeth: So they’re not done yet? madlep: Nope. In a little while elizabeth: Hmm. I’m not sure thats going to be acceptable. We discussed that they would be done by now. What’s the hold up? madlep:. Umm. Like I said. I’ve been busy. I haven’t even had that much time to update ubercharged.net, let alone do much else web related. elizabeth: I would have hoped we would get priority anyway. These changes are kind of important. madlep: Well, sorry. Thats the way it goes. I’m doing this stuff as a favour. It’s not like you guys are paying for my time or anything elizabeth: This isn’t going to work. I’ll have to talk to Mr Pyro about this madlep: Whatever. Not like it would make any difference. elizabeth: This puts the agreement we had about co-branding the two sites in jeopardy. madlep: Yeah, about that. You guys really aren’t getting the traffic I thought you would. Look, I’m helping you guys out getting up and running out of the goodness of my heart, but this really isn’t all that worthwhile for me. elizabeth: Well, if that’s where we stand. Thank you for your time then. madlep: Whatever. Later.
Because of some issues with the Ooberservers agreement, the mods take over this podcast. But don’t be surprised if your 4 lovable hosts make an appearance on today’s show. Ok, but seriously. This week we had an issue where the first 1/2 of the podcast was destroyed somehow during the recording (remember how I said, ALWAYS make a backup — well we didn’t)
Anyways, we still have the Listener Contributions section, so instead of not airing this one or holding off till we could re-record, we felt we should go ahead and put it out there, so without further ado, Episode 25:

Hey Pyro man. Was thinking back to the zany old days back when we were doing the Ziggy Stardust tour, and wondered if you wanted to hook up again and work on a new project. Give me a yell if you’re heading over my part of the world and we’ll do the magic funky music again.
Cheers

PS - I spotted you over at ubercharged doing the Ashes to Ashes thing, so I know you’re still a fan man!
Just a bit of quick admin. After approaching Mr Pyro on a number of occasions about the housing of the Pyro Rock Star staff, we have shuffled the team slightly.
I now finally have my own office in which to conduct my official duties from. The decor currently leaves something to be desired, but as Executive Assistant to Mr Pyro, I have the scope and responsibility to conduct some minor alterations to fit it to my needs.
I am thinking that the first action item is to replace the chair with a nice Aeron (if it can be fitted into this quarter’s budget).
As you can see from the picture, I am also currently filling in as first aid officer for the Pyro Rock Star staff until we employ a full time nurse. Mr Pyro has taken on the Fire Warden role - but this may need to be addressed in future if it causes a conflict of interest with his official duties.
I’m also having to act as security on occasion too until we employ permanent security staff.
Hopefully this will all be organized in the next few weeks.
Kindest Regards,
Elizabeth Bourke, Executive Assistant To Mr Pyro

What an awesome figure! Why did you choose to model Pyro of all characters?
-I always love Valves games. Their games are always creative and revolutionary. After I finished the Alyx figure, I found Team Fortress 2’s art style quite interesting, yet nobody made any figure based on it. With the candle holder idea in mind, I chose Pyro as my next project.

A little number done by me. This was actually going to be just a test run, since the end messed up, but many people found it funny so I decided to go ahead and make it. I’ll most likely finish the whole thing one day if enough people like this one ^.^
Pyro voice over done (poorly) by me, as well as the posing in Gmod. Thanks to

Executive Summary
This is a collaboration between Mr Pyro and Miraclegamer produced sometime back. While Mr Pyro freely admits his participation in the recording consisted of making use of the extensive catering service, he believes his emotional support was invaluable.
Despite working with Chell during the production of the video, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly distance Mr Pyro from her, especially after recent rumors of her heavy drug use, and many failed rehab attempts (we all know she wasn’t at the “enrichment center” for any “science research” after all)
And for the record I am not “jealous” of her relationship with Mr Pyro.
…Apart from that, good job on your website bloggy thingy. It is a blessing to the web and a disaster striking the silly bloggers who take themselves too seriously. Death to them and their petfood. Thanks to your blog, we can live a happier life, in more fresh, and minty understanding, free from war, famine, petfood and other terrible afflictions that this world suffers so greatly from. Bless the pyro! BLESS PYRO! BLESS PYRO!…
Mr Pyro is somewhat unsure of what to make of the correspondence from hb0da, but he is very excited at the effectiveness his program is having in reaching the broader community.
He sincerely looks forward to further interactions such as this.
