Title: borecast episode 1: episode 2 -- comin' soon, papangii
Post by: Van Cruncheon on January 25, 2009, 08:58:00 PM
http://borecast.libsyn.com/

borecast episode 1 starring eel o'brian and myself is available at the above link. in it, we discuss retail delinquency, netbooks, and depressing people. it may not be a great podcast -- or even a good one -- but at least we don't talk about the playstation 3's market position and/or killzone 2. unfortunately, we also namedrop father_mike purely by accident, and i tell a pretty shameful story from my youth. eel is the southern-fried voice, and i'm the histrionic one.

enjoy! if you have suggestions for future content, lemme know.

Eel sounds younger than he actually is.

Prole sounds what I'd expect.  Unfortunately, the voice sounds too Tucker Max-like.

Finished listening to it.

1) Most of the appeal seemed to lie in the fact that you can put the voices to the names now.  You should have a rotating third or at least a semi regular rotation of other EB members for future podcasts.  Assuming any more than 3 or 4 episodes will ever get made.

2) The content was ok.  Talking about netbooks for a half hour got too boring.  More variety!

It is still better than most of the podcasts I've come across.  This is a pretty good start.  Good jon guys.

we'll get better, every first podcast is flawed in certain ways

i found the netbook talk fascinating, so i guess it depends on your level of interest/experience - as a dumbass, i wanted to know all that tweaking/tech stuff, i think it's going to be very informative to someone who's looking to buy one and doesn't know what to do with it

anyway, thanks to all who gave up an hour of their lives they will never get back just to listen to us jerk off in your ears

Never expected this to happen. Drinky's voice sounds about right to me (though in my mind Tony Todd still voices the dancing cat). For two people the podcast is pretty decent at the moment (40 min. in)but you should push demi or MAF to join to help keep the conversation from becoming too one sided. Right now it seems too much like Drinky's Show with Eel providing a response.

Also by being older than most other gamers making a podcast you naturally avoid the pitfalls that usually come with making these kind of things (ex: forced swearing and comedy). It also helps that Drinky has a good podcast voice which I'm sure would be wet inducing with a better mic. Anyways, as a starter episode it's a good listen so far.  Hope to hear more in the future!

Right now it seems too much like Drinky's Show with Eel providing a response.

this was a conscious decision, we're switching up host duties from cast to cast

i knew i was gonna have my hands full with cutting and editing, so we decided it would be best for prole to take the reigns in the first show and set the agenda, etc.

he can host all of them as far as i'm concerned, i'm happy being the backwoods ed mcmahon to his techy carson

Drinky's got a great voice for radio, actually he doesn't sound anything like I expected. The cover art is great too! Got a few laughs out of this too. Love the Ar Tonelico reference, and the geeking out about portables, OSes, and video codecs. Now I'm really looking forward to the PUA episode, hurry up with it folks!

And I agree, that there should be 'call ins' and cameos from other EB people popping up from time to time.

eel bring me on for a good north carolina throwdown. as a bonus, I will put your audience to sleep with my gaming talk.

jesus christ ta :kingdoms was terribad, made me CRY.

edit: Best Buy doesn't pay on commission, but they sure as hell have store goals for stuff which in turn cause management to put people in certain parts of the store.

edit2: some of the ripped up XP distributions on piratebay can even go smaller than 1.5G that on netbooks. I'm getting one for me, one for the wife when the Atom+nvidia 9400M models start coming out later this year. They are saying it'll add $60 or so bucks to the machine.

My beef with Linux is the minute you want to do anything outside of the expected set of functions for the given Linux distribution, you're off to hacking stuff up. It isn't necessarily difficult, but it winds up being death by a thousand cuts. Though I prefer it to Apple, where you wind up wanting to throw your computer out the window the minute you hit that one task where you and Apple don't agree on what the UI workflow should be to complete that task.

here's what worries me about skype - even with just prole and i, there was a certain amount of lag (about a second when we counted back and forth)

it might have been because we were on wireless, but there were times when we were talking over each other because of that second delay, and it just turned into a garbled mess (i edited most of these moments out)

so with three or more, i don't know how much it's going to lag

but i am willing to give it a shot, i think it would be okay with up to four

this is also why i want to look into voice mails and such

Oh, btw prole, turns out i didn't delete everything - i found all those unedited segments in my skype recording folder, i'll send you those later for the larfs

Thoughts:

Love the stories, nice short and entertaining.

The geek talk on the netbooks was great stuff. Seeing as i'm on the fence between netbook and laptop. It was nice to hear some varied opinions on some of the aspects I most care about.


FRYS!!!!!!! (on my way to nerd nirvana soon to look at laptops and netbooks)

While were on the laptops and stuff someone make me a damn thread about them cause I need one while i'm going to college damnit.

and when i get anxious out comes the gomer

i let a friend listen to some of it and he was all "wtf girly redneck"

Quote from: wikipedia, avoid google image search for this at all costs
Diving is a unique aspect of Ar tonelico's gameplay experience. By visiting a Dive Shop, the player can enter a Reyvateil's mind, also called a Cosmosphere or a Soulspace. The Diving experience shares many similarities with Japanese visual novels, which puts great emphasis on dialogue and character development. The player spends Dive Points to enter different locations within the Cosmosphere.

In order to enter deeper levels of the Cosmosphere, the player must improve their relationship with the Reyvateil by gaining Dive Points from combat and having conversations with her while resting at inns and camps.

Despite being similar to a visual novel, the objective is not to date the Reyvateils, but to help them resolve their inner doubts and concerns. Doing so will allow the Reyvateils to craft new Song Magic as well as unlock new outfits, which acts like improved equipment in battle. Many of the outfits are based off Japanese Moe-Archtypes from more familiar ones such as school uniforms, to things like Nightshirts.

I enjoyed the podcast, but my one complaint is Professor Prole's voice didn't come in quite as clear.  Would like to know more about Netbooks and also more about the mouse you guys were talking about.  Loved the retail horror stories, I can certainly identity with that! 

There are two Fry's locations in Atlanta, but I think they are different from the ones out on the west coast.  I have only been to one of them, but it didn't have that warehouse feel to it.  Reminded me more of Media Play...

thanks for the kind comments about my grits voice, everyone - i am probably so self-conscious about it because i worked really hard to get rid of it when i was in local theater years ago

I thought it was pretty good.  Eel sounds like the paige from 30 Rock, except less gay.

The netbook discussion was interesting, but ultimately it turned me off of buying one.  It sounds like they're a hassle no matter how you slice it.  I will hold out for Windows7 + hardware T&L + touchscreen.  When do "real adults" have time for netbook gaming anyway, though?  I can barely find much opportunity to use my DS....and half the reason I play it is because it's got so many exclusive games.

you'll have to download google talk, add borecastcomments@gmail.com as a contact, then leave the voicemail through the google talk client (we might need to approve you first, I dunno) - voice mails will be emailed to us an audio file

that's the best workaround i could find other than paying for some type of voicemail service

Can I call in next time?

For right now we're just going to be using voice mail.  As I wrote before, skype got kind of laggy with two people, and we're recording our next show with a guest, so we need to see how bad the lag gets before we start taking call-ins.

For now, download Google Talk, add borecastcomments@gmail.com as a contact, and leave us a voice mail.  It'll save as an mp3 file we can use on the show.  We just got our first voicemail  :heartbeat tonight, so I know it works.  Anyone who wants to leave a voice mail message for inclusion in the second show should do so by Tuesday the 3rd.

As for weekly, I have a couple of ideas, but I'll bounce them off Prole before I go spouting off here.

Dany wrapped her arms around his shoulders and pressed her face against his neck as he thrust himself inside her. Three quick strokes and it was done. "The stallion who mounts the world," Drogo whispered hoarsely. His hands smelled of horse blood. He bit at her throat, hard in the moment of his pleasure and when he lifted her off his seed filled her and trickled down the inside of her thighs

 :o

All this after she ate the heart of a stallion, blood trickling down her face as she gets pumped for all to see.

Segment idea:  Please explain the allure of the JPRG.  Even some of the posters here that I most respect seem inexplicably attracted to these tepid mishmashes of archaic battle systems, animu wankery, mindless dungeon grinding, and teen fantasy indulgence.  And they aren't even loli-pedo-philes!

I'd come on to offer the anti-JRPG counterpoint, but I haven't played any recently enough to defend my admittedly shaky prejudices.

I'd gladly come on to argue the pro-RPG counterpoint... then again if you haven't played any recent ones, you don't really have an argument honestly.

BTW I hate the word "archaic". Active combat in games has been around longer than turn based...

Maybe the Shin Megami series has turned things around, but the JRPG fans here are attracted to even DQ and its spiritual descendants (Blue Dragon, etc), which (if scuttlebutt is to be believed) still haven't evolved beyond the ages-old Attack/Magic/Item/Run turn-based menu system.....I'd be curious to hear what the draw is.

Well, DQ is my favorite (still active) game series so I'd be happy to tell you what my personal draw is in them. But it's relative, just like I can't get into certain genres of music at all (most rock) or certain genres of games... you either like them or you don't, I dunno. But I think what I overall love about the genre is I can get a fun traditional experience or a really innovative unique experience all in the same genre if I know where to look.

The one thing I never did understand (and this is a big problem on GAF) was why people want genres to change to conform to their whims when it's obvious the genre isn't for them in the first place. I don't like WWII shooters but I don't come into WWII shooter threads saying how the game should change its setting to a sci-fi future and throw in a mnml soundtrack and abstract graphics.

I'm an admitted WoW-phile (and was a minor Too Human junkie) so it's not as if I'm oblivious to the pleasures of gearing, spec'ing, and progressing a character or set of characters.  I just don't understand why you'd want to do such things in a game with relatively dull combat, tedious randomly generated dungeons, and an incessantly overbearing story.  The customization and stat systems have their appeal, but they come with so much overhead that it's just too much to bear.  WoW/TH have similar issues, but you can opt out of them pretty easily.

Most of the main DQ games are still kinda tough, unlike say, FF games.  Unlike SMT, they kinda tend to be grindy tough rather than strategix tough.

I just don't think there's any one direction of "progress" in which all games should head, especially involving something like turn-based vs. real-time which each have their own pros and cons.  Whether a game's battles have any depth ultimately depend not on the general concept of its system, but on how well it's balanced.  If a turn-based game offers you only a few choices of Attack/Magic/Item or whatever, but there are interesting tactical considerations behind which option to pick in each turn, it will be fun.  If there's one obvious correct choice in every round, it won't.  But real-time/free-movement games don't actually change this --- even if they offer more options in principle, it's down to the game balance how many options will be viable in practice.  A real-time/free-movement game with one obvious tactic superior to others in every situation is exactly as boring as the equivalent turn-based game.  Sadly, many/most recent turn-based RPGs have broken balance, but the same could be said for real-time games.
