I'm enjoying this more than I thought - it's kind of like listening in to a mini-meet :D

I too played LA Noire when it first ever came out. Loved the concept, but got about 3/4s through and realised I was bored with it.

Definitely need to find some way of recording it all together, rather than trying to sync up three separate tracks. It almost works, but they're just far enough out to sound weird.

Also, I need to move the microphone further away from my face when I'm lighting up.

You also need to stop breathing!!!

Well stop breathing so loudly!

I spent 2hours creating silence on your audio tracks, one to stop your heavy breathing and two to get rid of the echo.

Ŵill post a how we did it post later so people can help us improve the process.

Cheers for the feedback everybody we appreciate it .

It's quite good, but too formal.

Also, it's shorter than the install time for AutoCAD 2012 on my laptop :S

It's as good as the Guardian and Engadget podcasts I listen to every now and again, which are a bit of a small yard stick but really good for a first stab.

You all done a splendid job. It works best when it falls into a conversation. The more that can happen naturally, the less editing and the better it will turn out I think. And Fozza did a great job of steering things.

Haha, I had to go find this after it was mentioned:

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.

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.
