Apheleon's away so I gave ole' buddy Sabian "clampOK" Hayblum a call to talk about the NA QuakeLive scene and the upcoming QuakeLive event which seems like the only thing going on in North America this year. The Team EG quaker stops by to talk about his recent entry into the world of dueling and what his expectations are of QuakeCon this year.

Has QuakeLive really been a worth-while competitive game? Is the iD team really making enough significant changes to the game to differentiate it from Quake 3? All these questions and more answered after the break. We also talk about his interested in StarCraft and revisit the Transatlantic Showdown Finals for posterity.

Head on over to Ready Up Radio to download the podcast.
