Attn all Australian Dtoiders: anyone up for a Podcast?
Ali D | 1:24 AM on 11.22.2008 21 comments




(and yes, I know the dish was about beaming pictures from the Apollo mission to the rest of the world...)

Ok, for starters I can hardly believe I'm suggesting this but.... do any of you guys and gals fancy doing an Aussie gamer podcast under the Destructoid banner? I listen to Podtoid regularly and Podcastle too and I hope they both continue, but I think it'd be fun to have another Podcast with some Aussie dtoid community members. I mean I doubt we'd end up discussing anything with the great significance of say.... Boner Quest (trademark: Aaron Linde) but I think we could have some fun, talk some shit, complain about high video game prices and the lack of an R18 rating.

Now I don't know how we'd go about doing it, I have a headset/mic, a PC and that's about it. I'm also handicapped by having a Scottish accent which basically means that I will either sound drunk, violent or violently drunk all the time. But if anyone'sinterested, drop a comment. What about our Destructoid overlords? Is there room for a fourth podcast?

You mean fifth counting Failcast.

Also if you want an American doing a Paul Hogan impersonation while talking about Bonerquest, I can/could do that for you.
nebones's Destructoid Blog
I'd love to, but I'm currently not in possesion of a working mic. :[

If it comes through though, I'll go out and buy a good quality one next pay day.
Mr Dillinger's Destructoid Blog
I would love to man. My destuctoid and real life friends DanMazkin and RobotFart asked me about doing a Dtoid Podcast.

Check out my blog and see what you think and let me know if you are keen. Look forward to hearing from you.
randombullseye's Destructoid Blog
Same for me. I'll go buy one and do my Paul Hogan accent for you. Give you ALL the inside information Bonerquest.

You got the basics mate, all I use to record my podcast is;

Hardware; Microphone headset.

Software; Skype (to talk w/ your co-hosts), Power-Gramo (which records your conversations and exports them to mp3) and Audacitiy (which is a free editior suite allowing you to cut the shit from your show).

Good luck in all

Forgot about Failcast. Sorry guys. The thought of your Paul Hogan impression intrigues me:

"That's not a boner; THIS is a boner!"
The GHost's Destructoid Blog
I don't think that it'll be listed as an "official" Dtoid podcast for a number of reasons, but if you want to go failcast style to maybe fill in the eeks that they on't o a release that would be cool.

I'd also be interested in helping as I will be moving to Australia in mid-late January, and I coul give some commentary as a person coming from the North American scene.

'D' key is borked on this keyboard apparently. Fuck yeah for proofreading!
Skribble's Destructoid Blog
In all honesty I've never listened to Podtoid, is it just ranting about all things gaming? I often go through old RetroforceGO episodes though.

*shrugs* sure why not, hit me up if you need anyone!
Ali D's Destructoid Blog
Where abouts you moving to Ghost?
nebones's Destructoid Blog
@The Ghost. Where are you moving?
The GHost's Destructoid Blog
I'm not 100% sure exactly where I'll be, as I'm looking for a place, but I'm going to USyd for medical school, so probably close to campus somewhere.

SYDNEY: I HAS IT! (soon)
Ali D's Destructoid Blog
Cool, I'm in Canberra which isn't too far away.
RJG's Destructoid Blog
I'm in Sydney and in possession of a mic, but I'm not all that terribly active in the community, given a new job, uni work and copious amounts of Left 4 Dead.
jestarinc's Destructoid Blog
Gosh, I'd love to! But alas, the only mic i have is an Xbox 360 headset and I only have Skype on my phone!

Argh!
tazarthayoot's Destructoid Blog
we dont need any more fuking podcasts.
naturon's Destructoid Blog
Hey that sounds cool, I live in Sydney and work as an artist in the industry if you need anyone (not sure if work would approve but id keep it on the downlow). I like to rave about censorship to anyone dumb enough to get me going, but anyway it'd be good to get some Aussie representation. Cheers
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
If ever in need of a guest Ali, let me know.
Lev Arris's Destructoid Blog
But your scotch?
Sharmsie's Destructoid Blog
sounds pretty cool, I'm always up for aussie love
DanMazkin's Destructoid Blog
I've been thinking about doing an aussie podcast, but it might come across as being a bit british as it would be 90% bitching about how Aussie gamers are constantly getting fucked by jacked up prices and late release dates.

still, keep us posted on how you go

 about me



Uhhh, I'm a 29 year-old, married, bearded Scotsman living in Australia. I only moved to Oz from my hometown Glasgow three years ago, so I had to really sell all my games before I left, which was slightly upsetting.

Got an X-box 360, DS, Wii and a fairly new PC rig on which I do probably most of my gaming. Mass Effect 2 and Bioshcock 2 both done with. Now awaiting Metro 2033, whilst I give Dragon Age another spin.
Trying to find a find a The World Ends With You and Henry Hatsworth on the DS. Trying to find them in Australia is like trying to find a butchers that sells haggis!
