Title: Episode 36: Eponymous
Post by: oksoda on May 28, 2012, 08:08:12 PM

In which we actually talk about Connectivity!

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/connectivity/30317

We've made it. A bit later than usual (please accept our apologies) but Connectivity is here once again to fill your ears with lovely little bits of audio, hand crafted in our artisanal podcast studio. This week we have a few wonder little segments for your listening enjoyment. First off, Neal, Scott, Zach, and myself tackle some listener mail including the topic of the show's namesake: the GameCube Connectivity fad.

After that, Carmine interviews independent game developer Jason Rohrer about his upcoming title, Diamond Trust of London.

And finally, we close out the show with a good old fashioned round of Connectivity Jeopardy, which includes some trivia of E3s past, as well as a time capsule of classic Planet GameCube Trivia Night questions from 2002!

Now that our mailbag is running on empty, why not help us out by submitting your questions here. Please also rate and review us on iTunes.

Great interview with Jason Rohrer.  Kai knocked this one out of the park.

Apologies again for the lateness of the episode. I'm busying moving into my new house and packing took a bit longer than expected. I'm glad everybody enjoyed this episode so much. I think it has everything that makes the show great. This will likely be a hard one to top.

I had a blast recording Jeopardy last week. Even if I didn't win I still had fun with this session, especially with the epic references, subtle racism (on Zach's behalf, mind you :p ) and the underdog winning the game. :D

Thanks for the kind words guys. Jason was pretty awesome, and I was totally jazzed to hear a music sample from the game used as the intro to the interview part of the episode. If I close the lid on Diamond Trust of London it sorta does the same thing where it dynamically keeps generating musical patterns, and I know I'll be taking advantage of that through a pair of headphones when I get the game.

Edit: Also, Jeopardy was hilarious!!!

Wow, Pedro didn't win!?! Well done to Zach.

My only disappointment with the episode is that I was very briefly led to believe there'd be a Community discussion after the main show. I guess I was streets behind on that one. :(

Very good show. Discussion was solid, interview was outstanding, and Jeopardy is always a fun romp.  Best Connectivity episode yet?  You guys are making me proud to have bought that shirt!

The plan was to record a Community segment, but it sort of fell through. I'd expect something on the next couple of weeks.

I'm glad everyone liked the episode. It was a real fun one.

Shipped this week, but I'll be wearing it proudly once the shirt arrives.  Photos for sure!

You like Skylanders? I can give you a Skylander. Or a pack of Kid Icarus AR cards. Or a Kid Icarus t-shirt.

Seriously, first person to send a pic to our e-mail wins one of those.

Final Jeopardy was very tricky as I knew the decade but didn't know the actual year, and when I wrote the answer I wrote it incorrectly.

Oh well, regardless if I won or not, I had a blast, and I am very happy to know you guys loved it as much as we did!

I'm doing some podcast catching up and I just heard the interview with Jason Rorher, and it's really, really good. Good job!

I'm glad that license key was put to good use! :-)
