Happy December
Tim here. The second episode, The Vidya, is up and running and it’s December already. Crikey. We recorded that l’il number way, way back. Right after Halloween. So listening to it is interesting for a number of reasons:
1.) I sound like I’m underwater. Matt and Jess sound lovely. I thought a universal Bluetooth earpiece would be good enough for recording but evidently not. I pledge to emerge from the murky depths to get something better. Any suggestions?
B.) Although we sound aimless we do cover a breadth of games and issues (The best Final Fantasy, Fallout 3, DRM, Mega Man 9’s difficulty) that would interest the video gaming set out there. We don’t dissect anything in detail but we hope to cover a wide set of topics (totems, I call them: TV, film, video games) before we get down and dirty and talk explicitly about, I dunno, say, the strengths and weaknesses of Sega Saturn for 45 minutes. Well, maybe just weaknesses in that case.
&.) The podcast is a little time capsule. The only game we talk about that isn’t out yet is Prince of Persia (out this week). Everything else – Gears of War 2, Mirror’s Edge, CoD5 – has been out for a while and will hopefully be covered in detail in future recordings. Matt and I have been playing Gears 2 online but the man won’t play the campaign on his own. He better catch up fast, I’m not so sure I’ll be wary of spoilers for long!
3.) I didn’t crap out of the podcast at the end. I purposely left to make myself a tomato cheese melt. It was delicious.
