UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
Episode 82: Season Two Premiere
Let's get this show on the road!
The farewell/Year-in-Review episode with Karl and Obi is still coming, eventually (like Karl's reviews), but we decided to get rolling with the new gang and a new format. In fact, this show is so fresh, we're calling it the start of Season Two! Jonny takes over hosting duties and welcomes to the show:
Greg Leahy, England's Ex-Favorite Son
Jon Lindemann, Canada's Favorite Ex-Pat
James Jones, NWR's Favorite Ex-Community Manager
We gab at length about our holiday gaming sprees, then jump into a huge, luscious pile of listener mail. James even gives us the pulse of the forums, and our medical opinion is that they may need to cut down on the meds. There's so much community stuff that we put it in a separate segment, so the show wraps up with a look at the past week's most interesting and/or hilarious and/or rage-inducing news stories.
We're still playing with the lineup and the show format, so please tell us what you think!

This is my first pass at editing something like a podcast so if anybody has any comments please PM me them or post them here. I want to find ways to make this as good as I can. And yes, I can't do the "enhanced" podcasts because Apple never followed through on their promise to make the Chapter Tool for other platforms.

who needs um... really, I think they quit just so they would be loved and missed by more than their mother's sister in law. Come on like they are actually going to miss the podcast. They quit so they didn't have to do the podcast.
Bunch' o' slackers

Well right now we aren't sure what days we are going to record. Right now it takes me about a solid day to edit a podcast. I expect that to go down, but if my free time goes down also it may take two or so.
tl;dr: dunno when the next podcast will roll out

Their DivX for Games SDK was created for the GameCube to cope with the small disk size of the GC.
Edit: dear God, I'm a nerd.

We were running long from the start and there may have been some "okay we got to get going to the next thing." We also had our fair share of technical problems (2 disconnects) so recording took a while.
So are you saying we need more "padding" between stories or more of a smooth transition?

I know it's totally nit-picking, but you said to posts comments about the editing.
Overall, it was a great show. I really like Lindemann. Greg and Crimm are good too, but you guys need to speak up more. Sometimes it seems like you guys have a habit of letting Jonny (and in this case Lindemann, too) run the show. Granted, we don't want you guys talking over one another, so it's a fine line to cross. Greg's better this time around than he was in the previous episode--last time there were a few times where he didn't say anything for six or seven minutes and I completely forgot he was even on the podcast.)

Lindermann is a good counterpoint, but I think someone like Evan would make a good foil.

One of the transition songs is kinda short. Like, 8 seconds. I have a bunch of songs here but I just duplicated the layout of another podcast.

Jonny (and for anyone else), if you're looking for a good server to play on give these guys a whirl.. They have TF2 Tuesdays, and Friday night fights as their main attractions, though you can log on anytime they have space. Check the blog for more details.
I'm MongooseX36 on Steam, so if you need a medic, add me [/shameless plug]
As far as games during Sega Saturn era, one could say that Nights and the Panzer Dragoon series were the system's highlights. However, to get the full enjoyment, you had to import.
Which brings me to my next point: I'd like it if there was someone to balance some of these one sided observations. With Karl gone, who's left to vouch for Suda51?
I take it that "____ crazy mailbag" has gone by the wayside then? I liked some of those off beat questions...
Overall, not a bad start. I like the 4 man panel, and can't wait for RFN to return in regular rotation...

Someone wants me to talk more?! Unprecedented!
Yes sir, this means you. We need some insight from people on the other side of the world.

It was later modified to allow real-time surround sound encoding. Nintendo licensed it to make it standard in the GC SDK. A derivation was also created for the GBA.

Thanks for clearing that up Crimm.

By the time this podcast got rolling I had zero energy. I had worked a really long day, came home and had dinner, then went right to the PC to record this. Then I had to install a bunch of stuff to get up to speed. It was a royal pain.
It's easy for Jonny to dominate a podcast because, simply put, the dude likes to talk. He EXPOUNDS. hahaha
Also the fact that we'd never done a podcast together meant that the chemistry was a little off. Like any team, it needs time to gel.
