I actually enjoyed that, was really well done. I listen to a couple of (gaming) podcasts and you guys certainly had the knack.

Genuinely well done guys.

Crikey. I started installing AutoCAD before listening to the podcast, and it's only just finished now :|

I like it! I think I like it mostly because I know you, almost like a hangout where I'm just sat listening.

 

I'd edit any bits where someone repeats a question.

 

Wii has internal storage and takes SD cards. I still use mine but it's rare because Tony hogs the telly.

Settle something for us, would you? Did you come to Alton Towers with us, years ago? I'm sure you did, but early senility is making me doubt myself.

If I'm honest, I don't think the music section really worked, especially if there's no music played during it. It's a bit like trying to convert people to your music tastes while knowing that the people you're talking to probably aren't going to be convinced. A bit too subjective, basically.

Lego games are all shit.

 

That is NOT the plot of Source Code at all. The dude doing the wandering and investigating was never on the train in the first place, the source code allows him to take over the body of someone else. It's an awesome film.

 

I would edit "How shall we do this bit?" bits.

 

There wasn't enough swearing.

 

Although you introduced yourselves at the start, I'd repeat who you are at the end, I just think it sounds better. (Feel free to totally disagree, natch).

 

8.5/10

I think the reason we started just listing games and films is because one starts feeling a bit rushed after a while of talking about something. The games section wasn't really like that, I didn't think, but then we started doing the music and films bits knowing that we'd already waffled for 45 minutes about games and still had a lot to get through. We even dropped the gadget section altogether because of it.

 

I suppose one option would be to just have a couple of sections that at least a couple of the participants know something about. So games and gadgets would be a good start (depending on the attendees, obviously). Or a Q&A type thing about one or two of the current pet projects, or even people's jobs if they're interesting like Oscar's job. Ask Me Anything seems to work on Reddit, after all.

It's all going to be subjective !

 

Music section suffered because you and I know nothing about music :) it might be better next week if we have a researched section built up over this week :)

Lego games are not shit. They're suprisingly good. Honestly, Dan, normally you're not wrong about much, but this time you're just way off the mark.

 

That shows how much I remember about Source Code, doesn't it? But I do remember that the Source Code or whatever it was called only allowed him to take over the memories of a single person. So how did that person's memories include getting of the train altogether and having a look inside a van parked at a train station? How would the memories include any part of the interior of the van?

 

I don't think the "How shall we do this?" bits need editing (editting?). They'll disappear as more are done, and it saves us from sounding too professional.

I did! None of us brought a camera and there was a brilliant picture of us all on the water rapids that I was very close to buying.

I'm impressed. Well done guys.

 

The 'link' music between the first and second sections - was that sampled from the character select in Street Fighter 2?

If it has then I'd blame Xen . I think the picture mortally offends him :)

I listened to half of this on the way to work and the rest on the way home. Definitely enjoyed it and will download the next one if cars are still around when the next one is out.

 

Patch (I think it was): Put Oxygen (or a similarly small ROM) on your Desire, modify hour hboot and get /loads/ more space. Ski Safari on Android doesn't seem to have a wolf though, or at least not yet.

 

Supercars music at the end :)

The wolf is from the new mountain called Howling Hills (the first one is called Penguin Peaks) and as Fozza said, will probably be available once they release the update for Android.
