The Moofcast: best videogame podcast nobody listens to.
« on: August 16, 2008, 06:46:30 PM »
Hey everyone.  This will be the main thread for the show here.  We're a weekly show and I know the mods here said to bump it when new episodes are put up, but I don't think I'll do it all the time because of the slower pace of this forum.  I don't want to be responsible for keeping it on page 1 unless listeners are the cause of that.

Anyway, Episode 10 went up today.  We talk about Madden, Braid, Bionic Commando, Fable II Pub Games, and Soul Calibur 4.  There's also discussion about the drawbacks of LAN parties, as well as how to fit time for games into your daily schedule.

Episode 9 went up last week and its my personal favorite of all our episodes.  We hit up Red Faction: Guerilla beta, Madden, Street Fighter, Soul Calibur 4, World of Warcraft, and Age of Conan. There's also tales of woe regarding a rock and some testicles, terrible terrible porn, and even more bitching about the problem with today's youth.

Big thanks to EvilBore for letting us pimp the show here.  If anyone has any requests of shit they'd like to hear about on the show, drop em here.  When we started, I wanted to do a section where I'd read the stupidest posting I could find on NeoGAF, but the place pissed me off and I didn't want to give them anymore acknowledgement.  However, siamesedreamer seems to think you guys and gals would probably get into something like that, so if anyone here wants it, I'll do it.

Anyway, here's the site:  http://moofcast.libsyn.com 
You can also download the show off iTunes (search for "Moofcast") or find us on the Zune Marketplace.  If you have a Zune, go to collection, then podcasts, then type http://moofcast.libsyn.com/rss into the URL bar and you can subscribe that way.  Can't seem to find us in the stupid store at the moment but I'm working on that.

I'll give it a listen. GFW Radio is my favorite videogame podcast to listen to, though.

Demi:  Next to none!  Seriously though, the number seems to vary.  First show had a couple hundred downloads and its only gotten better from there.  Only ten weeks in so far with a website in the works, so I expect to see it grow.

FatalT: GFW happens to be my favorite show as well.  The awesome thing about that is I'm not even much of a PC gamer.  Their show as well as a couple others like VGO and Evil Avatar are the reason my friends and I started The Moofcast.  I remember thinking that it sounded a lot like the Xbox LIVE conversations we would have, so I pitched the show to my friends and everyone was more than happy to do it. 

I forgot to mention our facebook page too.  Its just setup for funny pics and links and shit.  Kind of like a tie-in to the jokes made here and there.  Group: The Moof Pack  http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=22196483297

Well, since this is the only thread I'm doing for the show, I wanted to put all the info right in here.  Hell, I didn't even want to reply to your post, but I can't resist defending myself.  That "shill" business cut me deep!  Cut me deep, son!  Really though, I'm posting here.  Look at my history!  I even dug out my Anne Hathaway avatar.  I'm here to stay man, not to shill.  Promise.

I just put up Episode 11. "Too Human and unfortunate cybersex edition".  I'm really proud of it and think it may be our best episode yet. From the site:

Quote
The Moof Pack talks about Too Human with a few guests thanks to the wonders of Skype's outcall abilities.  There's also talk of the new Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo that hit this week, politicians in the U.S. keying on game violence, and we determine wether our guests have been "livin' the moof life".  Lastly, Andrew shares stories from a time when cybersex was still one of the new and exciting frontiers of the internet.  "Saddle up!" because the Moofcast is here once again!

Search "Moofcast" on iTunes for easy access, or if you're on Zune, type moofcast.libsyn.com/rss into your url bar in your collection's podcast section.

Moof is the word I've designated for dwarf hamsters.  They are not to be called dwarf hamsters anymore, but moofs from now on.  Moofcast comes from the group of us calling ourselves "the moof pack".  See pic below for example of moof:


As for the negative remarks above, I'm not out to piss anyone off here.  I cleared this thread with the mods here a while ago.  Please don't say shit like "No sir, I don't like it" without having listened to it.  I've been through this with NeoGAF already and came here cuz Dreamer told me this place was above that shit.  I hate telling people about the show specifically because of remarks like that and "shill" but until we've reached GFW status level, nobody's gonna do it for us so I gotta bite the bullet here.  Should the mods get sick of me and change their minds, all they gotta do is say so and this thread can go away.  I'm here to post on the board, but if I can pimp the show at the same time, awesome.

Only podcast i can stand these days is GFW, and still i haven't listened to it in a while.

Question is, do you guys keep it real, or are you a bunch of distinguished mentally-challenged fellows speaking, like the 1upyours?

Thanks for the encouraging words, gang.

WrikaWrek:  I like to think we keep it pretty real.  I'm not sure what you mean about 1up Yours though.  I like that show, aside from Garnett Lee who has really gotten to me since the pool party this year.  Listeners have compared it to GFW, Outsiders, and Joystiq, so make of that what you will.  Pretty diverse list of shows there, so who knows.  Personally, GFW is my favorite show and one of the reasons I started The Moofcast.

Demi is more than welcome of course, but I don't think he'd ever come on.  He wouldn't want to slum it like that.
