Podtoid 100 ain't going up this week [shortblog]
Anthony Burch | 11:39 AM on 05.12.2009 47 comments


Because it was, in honesty, pretty abysmal to listen to. It was great to talk to the listeners and there were a few gems in there, but overall it was two hours of really awkward waiting to get people in, and trying to get discussion going, and a bunch of other crap that nobody on the cast was really happy with.

Granted, I'm still going to release what we recorded yesterday on the forums or something, but that won't be our official 100th episode. We're going to redo it with just Niero and the cast this Monday.

Are you going to be taking new reader questions?

If you're going to do some random shit at 4am, at least release it on the forums as quickly as possible. I want something to listen to and I don't care if it is pretty abysmal.

Thank you.

Glad this is making it to the forums at least, wish I could have been there. Will definitely listen to this, but I understand why you wouldn't want something like that one itunes or - God forbid- the ever reputable GAMERCAST NETWORK!

I obviously haven't had a chance to listen to the, let's call it, "celebration episode" but I like the idea of reader "call-ins". Just do it more structured like that (oh my god!) Summa Aftershow (so baller) thing and talk to some people before the episode starts and discuss some things with community members. Doesn't have to be a segement of every episode but every now and then it would be nice. Certainly there are some people with a valuable opinion around here. I hope. Well. When I think about it. No, that idea is shit.

I like what Iron1c had to say. Still, I'm actually kind of looking forward to listening to it, just to hear how bad it is?

The idea of a live episode is great but just like iron1c said, it has to have a certain structure.
How about choosing several topics before the show and then ask the listeners about it?
This morning was a fun experience and being in the crazy chat and listening to you guys was great but a "propper" call in show would be awesome :)

I'm kind of happy about this. It sounded cool. But a proper episode with all the gang and our head robot sounds much, much better.

Haha Anthony, I demand a forum link to the recording asap!

The only thing truly bad about it was the people who called in, didn't know how to use skype and went "who is this? Am I on?"

That's it.

Aww, that's a shame. Still I think it makes sense to have two different 100s. One for the community and then one for you lot. I mean it is kind of for the fans of Destructoid, but at the same time the 100th episode should be about you lot rather than us, at least that's how I see it.

Take note RetroforceGo! Soon it'll be your time!

By the way, some would say the chat after the podcast was as "good" as the cast itself.

Overall it was an incredibly fun time, and a GREAT way for the community to interact.

@Anthony,
If you thought 100 was a trainwreck with all the fuck-up calls, I suggest in the future getting people who have a great connection/skype experience/pre-set skypes already pmed to Adam, to agree to show up before-hand, that way everything goes smoothly.

While I liked the idea of having the listeners call in, the execution was bad.

Oh, and by the way, there's an open contract for anyone if they want to program/animate a shmuppets shmup game for Topher.

If you do put it in the forums, put it in a new thread and I'll sticky it up.

@ Nihontiger

We did a call-in show on Failcast? News to me. We definitely want to do one in the future, just not so close to this episode. We're still brainstorming how to avoid hiccups in show structure, like what happened in this episode and in previous live Podcastles.

Actually, i think this is the same reason CheapyD stopped doing live shows too.

Fair enough, look forward to Episode 100-1 :D

the most amusing part was the crazy chat anyways. It was really awkward to listen to when people couldn't connect through.

As much of a mess as the episode was, actually being there while you guys were doing the show live was still mighty boner-inducing. Could you put the episode up on the feed as Episode 99.9 or something? I've been trying to include this podcast with the rest of the Podtoids, but I've found that it is literally impossible. The closest I've gotten is to actually add a second Destructoid podcast feed which includes only this podcast:

This is going to drive me nuts if I have to leave it like this, especially because as more Podtoids are released, I'll end up with this episode always above the other ones.

Anyway, to make a long post short, I implore you to put me out of my misery by releasing this episode on the regular feed, even if it's listed as episode 99.9 or something.
