Another in our series of interviews where we delve into the minds of our staff and bring back the answers to give you, our listeners, a better idea of what makes the station tick.

Who are you and what is your title?
Darkelink, presenter. Take a business card…

What do you do at the station?
Wait, I am expected to do stuff?
I present Initial Install weekly where I talk about PC gaming news and releases from the past week. I also made a tool to help other presenters tag and upload podcasts, so I guess I’m a developer now?

Where did your nick come from?
Back in ye olde days, I had to choose a username for the first site I sign up to. At that time, I was playing through Ocarina of Time and in my infinite child wisdom thought that ‘dark link’ was cool. Fortunately that name was taken, unfortunately all I did to change it was to add an e instead of the space to get the name we all know today. I still think it is a stupid name, but I like constancy so I won’t change it.

Chocolate or Vanilla?
Why not both?

What do you hope for the future of the station?
First off I would like to see us get by while not relying on donations. After that I suppose world domination is not a bad aim. I have already got a plan ready:
Get bus, get blimp, get space station. Fire lasers at enemies from space.

Name one thing you would like to add or change about the station, if you had all the money and time?
More awesome people, also see plan above.

How do you have your potatoes?
Boiled, Mashed, Roast, New, Chips, Crisps, Waffles/ Shaped, Raw, Any way is good

If you could pie anyone in the world without consequence who would it be and why?
According to urbandictionary:
Pie: A word that can be used to answer any question known to man, and can be an excuse if you do not know the answer to the question.
So… pie.

What’s in your fridge right now?
Is that a euphemism?

Another in our series of interviews where we delve into the minds of our staff and bring back the answers to give you, our listeners, a better idea of what makes the station tick.

Who are you and what is your title?
Arran ‘Wriga’ Wright – DJ.

What do you do at the station?
I am a DJ for the site and am on air twice a week for two hours at a time either talking about Japanese music/ anime or talking about films.

Where did your nick come from?
My nick came from my school as it’s a combination of my first initial ‘A’ and part of my surname ‘Wrig’. I kind of took to it, so kept it as my default name for most of my ID’s in the gaming community.

Chocolate or Vanilla?
Melon.

What do you hope for the future of the station?
I hope for it’s listener base to expand and for it to remain around long after I have left.

Name one thing you would like to add or change about the station, if you had all the money and time?
I would expand it’s reach beyond just radio, maybe take it to youtube and try and expand the listenership of the radio that way.

If you could pie anyone in the world without consequence who would it be and why?
I would pie the flying spaghetti monster, because it would be proof of his existence… 

If you suddenly found out that your mother was a common tree finch, what would you do? 
A barrel roll.

What’s in your fridge right now?
A Frozen Leg of Lamb

Firstly, a quick word on the new update: As you may known there has been a patch released for MineCraft, 1.5.2, that breaks connecting to servers of older versions. Unfortunately there isn’t yet a CrafBukkit release for this patch (CraftBukkit being the mod API we use to keep building’s safe ect), so for the time being we’ll be keeping the main server as 1.5.1, while the other two (see below) are both updated to 1.5.2. However, if you have updated don’t worry! Mojang have released a beta version of the new MineCraft launcher (which can be found here). This allows you to up- and down- grade your client to your hearts’ content and allow you to play on all of our servers.

Secondly, it’s taken us a wee while, but finally we have a couple of new servers for you to try out!

As you may or may not know we have a merchandise store. If you did then yay! If not, well you do now :P We’ve got t-shirts and hoodies a-plenty over there, and thanks to Vince_Kupo, we’ve got plenty of cool designs for you to chose from. Don’t forget too, for every purchase you make we get an extra 60p in our coffers that go towards keeping the station going.

Mr Potz will be on from 2300h tonight to play you into Christmas Day, and the G3 Originals will be on Friday, usual time. Regular shows will start back from the 3rd January.

Stay safe, don’t get too drunk and have a good time. Happy holidays from all of us here :)
