Re: Nerds on the Rocks/Dual Wielding Feedback Thread
 
Good show. Might have been my favorite which is really odd since I had no interest in what you guys were talking about. Just melded nicely. Very natural. And sounded like you guys had fun. Probably since before one people would have experience with what they were talking about while the others politely listened. Here everyone had ideas about things that were yet to happen and thus all had the same level of knowledge...something like that.

But seriously, I had no idea there were five people on the show until the very end when Xantar listed everyone. The whole time I thought there were four guys, two of which I had trouble telling apart. Turns out I had trouble telling apart three people. Need to up your accents or change where you pause like Christopher Walken, just something.

I grew up in Eastern KY and can do a pretty bitchin redneck accent. Maybe during the next podcast I'll bring that to the table for you.

Yeah but in a real conversation, there's non-verbal communication. So you'll see when somebody has something to say. Maybe you could send a typed message on Skype saying that you really want to speak your mind.
Another improvement would be the host asking people specifically. For that he'd probably need to keep track of who knows what.

Also, I believe it's Xantar: could you mute the 'received message' sound of Skype? Having to hear that sound in a podcast is unprofessional man, UNPROFESSIONAL!!! :crazy:

It's not my fault! Blame BAB and his sensitive microphone. And just be glad we weren't picking up his ring tone.

Anyway, I promised a list of song samples. All songs can be found at OCRemix:

1. Triforce Majeure by Disco Dan

2. Halo Insurrection by Kirby

3. Black Wing Metamorphosis by lots of people

Think you should add the links to the songs under the show notes on the Nerds on the Rocks website. Same deal for the articles you fellows discuss for Cocktail Chatter.

For once, I'm innocent.

I turn off all sounds on Skype when recording so my mic wouldn't pick up anything!

But yeah its something we need to work on for next time.

I wear headphones whenever I use my computer for anything, so it wasn't me.

I'm pretty sure it was Xantar.

NoTR/DW e3 Wrap-Up Planning Thread
 
We tried last night, but it was difficult to find a 4th.

So we're going to aim for Saturday afternoon or so.

It will be another joint podcast effort in which we look at the big 3 press conferences. Touch on some major 3rd party games and what interested us.

Also if possible, would try and get SoccerAnt and/or Uber on the show since both had the chance to attend e3 and go hands on with some games.

And since we're already here.
Next Nerds on the Rocks, will be a review/discussion of Toy Story 3 and Pixar.

Dual Wielding will hopefully be a more in-depth e3 review when Soccer and Uber are back to working capacity.

So who can make it on Sat and what time works best.

Well I'm good to go whenever, so whatever works best for everyone else.

I'll be good at least at some point this weekend. Sunday would probably work better, but I'm sure I could manage sometime Saturday if needed

Nerds on the Rocks/Dual Wielding e3 Recap Episode
 
There is a feedback thread up top/stickied, but I will use that to bookmark all the podcast and feedback after the week is up.

I doubt many people would look in the thread weekly to see if a new episode was added.

Quote:

Last week was a busy week for the video game nerds as the biggest show of the year came and went. We had exciting announcements of new games and new hardware. We got out first real look at the 3DS, Microsoft’s Kinect and Sony’s PS Move. So this jumble sized convention called for another team-up between the Nerds and our resident Gunslingers. We discuss the big 3’s press conference and which 3rd party made this biggest splash. So grab a drink, sit back and enjoy.

As always feedback is most appreciated.

Felt like it was missing something.
