For episode #7 of OMG-RL, Jenna and I give advice to 5 emails once again, making for a pretty long show. Despite our fairly serious tone throughout most of the show, we make up for it at the end.

* Gimli asks for some advice on a girl he met in Second Life, oooh but there's a twist!
* Mirage is worried that his mom might be slacking on her womanly duties. Hey! Get back in that kitchen and finish that sandwich!
* Kraig... or Krrrayg gives us a little follow up on his scheduling issues, ye ken?
* Carlos unleashes some of our inner demons when he asks about an abusive ex-friend.
* And Little Lea gives us a different perspective on the dreaded "You're like a brother to me" scenario.

If you'd like to send us an email seeking our insanity... er, advice, it's show at omg-rl.com. Feel free to send it in text or an audio clip, we love it both ways. And not in a good way.

The theme song is "Real Life Drama" by Rackjaw.

Welcome to this 6th episode of OMGRL where Jenna and I give our wonderfully unprofessional advice to 5 lucky listeners.

- We get a question from Nathan regarding that age-old rejection line "You're more like a brother to me"
- Chiyo's parents just don't understand about his gaming. And he's not addicted, he swears!
- Kraig from Scotland has too many eggs in one basket, and needs some advice on juggling his hobbies, interests and schoolwork.
- Meadar + Myspace = "But he hasn't even met her yet!"
- And we hear back from "Robert", who provides us with a fabulous follow-up to his original email a few shows back. We LOVE follow-ups!

If you'd like to be included on the next episode's advice segment, send your email OR audio questions to show@omg-rl.com.

    In this premiere episode of the Oh My God Real Life podcast, your host Shawn takes us through his ideas for the future of this podcast and what it will be about.

    "Real Life Issues for Gamers"; thats the mantra of the OMG-RL Podcast. But what all does this involve?

    - Current news regarding anything connecting real world issues as they pertain to the ever-growing gamer community

    - Advice given to listener email and voicemail sent to the show concerning real life issues

    - MMO and Online game etiquette

    - General rants about anything gaming related

    Take note that this will also be an explicit podcast, so don't listen to this one in the minivan on the way to school in the morning.
