All our thoughts in one convenient 30 minute block of audio.

That's right, Planet GameCube is finally joining the Internet revolution known as podcasting. The idea sprang up at this years E3, when Evan and I simply could not shut up. Somebody came up with the bright idea that the two of us should get together weekly and discuss all sorts of topics. We've taken that suggestion and we're starting a podcast. The final details aren't nailed down quite yet, but I can tell you that we will be doing this feature at least every other week, though we are aiming to do them weekly. We're shooting for an episode length of twenty to thirty minutes, and trying to cover between three and five topics per show. With all of that out of the way, we're inviting you to listen to our first episode!

Episode 1: Snappy Title Coming Soon

AAC Format (13.37MB)

MP3 Format (13MB)

You can also stream it via Odeo

powered by ODEO

This episode covers a variety of topics. Among them are our general impressions of E3, opinions on Nintendo's press conference and booth, thoughts on the Wii's unique controller, and of course what we think of all the Wii games that were on display. If you're looking for DS impressions, those are coming in our second episode. There was simply too much to talk about to fit into one episode.

You'll have to excuse the slight audio issues with this first episode. An error on my end caused me to record with the wrong microphone, creating some background white noise in the audio. This won't happen next time. We're also looking into making the AAC version of this podcast enhanced, complete with chapter marks and images to serve as a companion to the audio portion, though we can't promise that will happen any time soon.

If you have any questions, complaints, complements, or criticisms please send them to our new podcast email address:

Nice work guys! I really enjoyed this, good listening material for getting work done. I hope you decide to continue and make it a weekly tradition. Thanks!

Planet GameCube DOT LOL. Great work, guys. Two very opinionated PGC staffers, here for your amusement. Svevan is never afraid to share his blunt opinion on something. Expect lots of contraversial statements from him!

I noticed some odd background static sometimes. And Tarantino's mike seemed louder than the other guys.

But was pretty entertaining. Much better than the IGN podcasts I think.

Svevan · « **Reply #4 on:** May 17, 2006, 10:37:11 PM »

Both of those sound issues will be taken care of by next cast. Thanks for listening!

Where is the actual Podcast/RSS XML? Or do you just have the audio files for download? I'd like to actually subscribe instead of just downloading the audio periodically.

Heh.

Again, I enjoed it. Amusing ancedotes and a general lack of stupidity. In other words, unlike, say IGN's podcast, this one didn't want to make me gouge my ears out.

Now all PGC needs is a comic and a premium paid subscription service, and everything will be complete.

Neat.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #9 on:** May 19, 2006, 08:51:32 AM »

Why audio? Wouldn't it make more sense to write it down in text form like all the other articles?

Listening to them talk doesn't cause mental fatigue. Just reading this sentance makes me want to take a nap.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #11 on:** May 19, 2006, 11:43:01 AM »

Hahaha, KN.

I enjoyed it, I'll definitely listen to whatever podcasts you do.
We're also considering a pietriot podcast. Beware!

IceCold · « **Reply #12 on:** May 19, 2006, 02:12:53 PM »

Well, you can take it on the go and listen to it..

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #13 on:** May 19, 2006, 03:49:37 PM »

Seconding request for text version.

Way to ignore part of your demographic, guys. I for one will not stand for this blatant discrimination.

SUBTITLES FOREVER.

TheYoungerPlumber · « **Reply #14 on:** May 19, 2006, 05:01:33 PM »

With text it would just be 2-man Blah Blah Blah, which defeats the purpose of Obi, Evan, and their vocal bolding.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #15 on:** May 19, 2006, 06:19:09 PM »

Without text it's just 2-man yadda yadda yadda, which defeats the purpose of talking in the first place.

I can follow along if you give me a text version. Get to work on it, people. Enough excuses. *cracks whip*

Svevan · « **Reply #16 on:** May 20, 2006, 12:48:15 AM »

Yeah, we really are discriminating against deaf people by not including a text version.

The first person to sign up to type out transcripts (mind you this is a weekly cast), I will pay 5$ a month. I'm not even kidding. You'll get paid more than I do to work here.

I couldn't commit until I saw how long it took to do. But I'll volunteer to transcibe this one for free.

edit: okay, it only takes six hours or so...

Svevan · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2006, 08:10:15 PM »

Six hours? How dare you do something so kind!

nickmitch · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2006, 08:18:16 PM »

Ok, so wait, 5 dollars a month, for roughly (6hours per week x 4weeks per month =) 28 hours.
Couldn't you pay in E3 swag or something?

Svevan · « **Reply #20 on:** May 22, 2006, 08:28:01 PM »

Hell, I'll pay you money to let me mail you my PS3 lanyard. These things have negative value.

ahaha.

I know, I couldn't believe it either. These wages beat the crap out of what I make at the sweat shop. Of course, I have to walk 200 miles just to get to a computer with internet access, but it's totally worth it.

I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it.

Audio Podcasts are so 2005. The new thing is Video Podcasts. Get with the program.

Caliban · « **Reply #23 on:** May 23, 2006, 12:20:56 PM »

Yeah what Vudu said, I wanna see your nerdy faces, not really!

StrikerObi · « **Reply #24 on:** May 25, 2006, 05:50:51 PM »

You might get your wish soon, though it won't be mine and Evan's face...
