Nevsky Posted June 7, 2010 As promised over in the 'Life' thread, here is a little mini-podcast-thing I have been working on recently. Kind of an evocative voxpop-collage mood piece around cosplay and the MCM Expo. I interviewed 18 comics creators from the Expo (including Kieron Gillen, Ben Templesmith, John Allison) and tied it together with some suitably whimsical music. Check it out here! This is still all quite new to me, and I'm trying to do something a little different than a straight-up 'cast. So any comments would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twmac Posted June 21, 2010 Well I finally put a blog together about my 12 games before Christmas and have written two pieces about Half Life 2 so far. http://twmacb.posterous.com/ Constructive criticism is always welcome. Drath, will add you on backloggery, it is always good to see some one else fighting the pile of games staring at them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forbin Posted June 30, 2010 Posted this in the flash games thread, but I made a game for the 48 hour reddit game jam competition. It requires HTML5 since it's canvas based, check it out. The theme was Opposites. If you want to vote, or check out the other submissions (the guy that made Black & White did a good job) here's the reddit thread.

gdf Posted June 30, 2010 That's a pretty cool cool game, dude. Relaxing mood thanks to the music and visual design and a pretty rad concept. I did get stuck after a few minutes, and the display was too tall for my netbook's screen Pulling some of my own shit out and smothering it on your monitors, I just wrote a pretty hardcore defence of Killer 7.

I did get stuck after a few minutes, and the display was too tall for my netbook's screen Sorry about that, I would have put in scaling if I'd had a bit more time. Honestly, it's supported most of the way, I would just need to remove a few hard coded image dimensions on the sprites. You could try changing the dimensions of the board in the settings section, though I haven't done much testing on anything but 8x8. You would probably have to adjust the wall density slider as well.

Hermie Posted November 6, 2010 Ok, so we made a podcast. It's our very first try, so we're very welcome to feedback (especially from you guys, since very thing that brought you here is that you are a fan of a quality podcast.) Are we too structured/rushed? Or going on too many tangents? Do we cover everything we set out to? Do we need more editing? Less? What do you think of the background music? Any tips for avoiding the skype problem of "well.. uhm.. I... no, you go... no, YOU go..."? Is my accent extremely annoying? So yeah, would really appreciate some constructive feedback, even if you hated it and never want to listen to us ever again.

Squid Division Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) What type of podcast were you going for? Is it skype? Edited November 6, 2010 by Squid Division Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hermie Posted November 6, 2010 We're doing it over skype, yes. Me and Jens are Norwegian, the boss is Irish, and the host and a couple of others are 'mericans. So the only way we could do it with people in the same room is just me and my friend (which we still might do at some point, but in a smaller scale). That's why I asked about tips to eliminate the "skypeness", because I know some people here (like Jon Cole) do podcasts themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted November 7, 2010 Ah whoops, guess I missed that. The reason I asked is that for about the 20 minutes I listened to, it wasn't very skype-y. So as a skype podcast it comes off pretty well. I found the background music pretty distracting though at the beginning, and it didn't add much for me.

Moelman Posted November 8, 2010 Have you guys considered doing video chat with skype? Isn't that what like GWJ does, they aren't in the same room right? I would think that would help with the talking over each other. I haven't finished listening but can give some full impressions later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted November 8, 2010 Tips to eliminate Skypeness - Do a decent amont of pre-show : if you know who is most versed on a particular topic, it's easier to defer to them in conversation and avoid talking over each other. Have each person record their own audio : by having the separate audio, you can edit out blatant screw-ups that wouldn't feel too inorganic (also you will likely get a better sounding podcast out of it) Have an established order of doing things : use the same order to introduce yourselves at the beginning of the show and at the end of the show (like if you want to plug your Twitter feeds or something like that) Set a regular length goal you want to reach : even if you set your sights at one hour and go for 70 minutes, you at least all know that you should probably be a little more brief around the 55 minute mark As for the other stuff, the background music is kinda weird. I'm not really sure what to think of it yet; I guess I'm just curious if you'll be using different music every week and what kind of stuff you plan on using.

brkl Posted November 13, 2010 If everybody records their own audio you can do a proper stereo picture where every talker is heard from a distinct location. This helps immensely for clarity and makes the podcast sound more natural. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
