State of the Guild
There are numerous games on the horizon for the guild and many seem promising but so far few have delivered. Currently, FoE is tracking Age of Conan (AoC) and Warhammer: Age or Reckoning (WAR) as the two games that are imminent. With mixed reviews at best, FoE will keep a watchful eye on the games' development as they come out. There is one game that has the eye of senior leadership in FoE, Darkfall Online (DFO). DFO developers recently announced that the game WILL be released in 2008, creating a lot of fevor on the DFO forums. The guild will prepare itself for the highly anticipated game, in expectations of endless worlds with open PvP.
Recruitment across all games continues to be successful with new members joining the ranks to keep up our mission to strive for excellence in all the games we play. Notably, the recruitment surge can be seen taking place in Shadowbane, a chapter of the guild that is rapidly becoming the next MSC.
FoE Leadership would like to encourage all members old and new to join us one of our games, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, or Shadowbane.
 Fist of the Empire Podcast
The FoE Podcast is always undergoing change as we learn to employ tools and software to constantly increase our professional façade. To be honest, we have been slacking on posting the podcast to itunes and the website, however, Episodes 10 and 11 have been published.
FoE Podcast 10 - Girl Gamers: Ducky and Kia talk about being a girl gamer and the challenges they face.
FoE Podcast 11 - Forums in Video Games: Podcast crew discusses Jack Thompson’s threats over GTA4 game and IGE battle over gold farming empire. Indepth discussion over Video game forums, are they useful or just a place for nerds to piss and posture?!
It is the month of May, and the FoE Podcast will be giving away items to listeners of the live show on May 31st (10pm EST). Lucky listeners will receive gaming gear such as the new Saitek Cyborg gaming keyboard as well as several other great peripherals.

The Oddly Gamer: The artistic talent and humor within the guild will be joining forces to provide comic strip hilarity. The Oddly Gamer (ToG), created by Praelian, touches on issues that all gamers face. Snit World, the creation of our very own Snit, reflects the rather odd way he sees his own (warped) reality. If you have comic ideas and would like to start your own section in ToG please contact Praelian@fistoftheempire.com. Look to see ToG and Snit world debut on the website in late May early June.
