Failcast Episode 10 Beta records tonight! Wait, we're doing a questions post for a preview episode?
FAILCAST | 8:12 PM on 05.27.2008 40 comments




When we first started Failcast, we had a simple idea: make a community-centered podcast featuring the very members of the community itself. Editors? Fuck them, they've got their fancy-shmancy official podcasts on the front page, and some of them are on multiple podcasts. No, this would be a podcast by and for the community.

Somehow, we've managed to reach the eve of episode 10, and we hope you'll indulge us as we announce our guest for the next preview and the next full episode, our very own cblog boss, Hamza Aziz, a.k.a. CTZ, a.k.a. A Shark, a.k.a. Mailbox Head. We know, he's actually part of the site and not "just a regular member," but besides being the community manager, he's also a Dtoider just like you and me, and we feel confident enough to deviate from regular guests for one episode.

Because this is such a major guest compared to our usual invitees - not to diminish how awesome all our guests have been, we love you with mouth! - Charlie has decreed that a (last-minute) question post should be made. For a preview episode? Unheard of! But we make miracles every day, and this is your chance to ask questions to the big guy himself.

So ask away, and chances are, most of these will probably get asked on this very Failcast preview episode!

I'm not always good at witty questions, especially when I have no alcohol in me. So here's one for cereal:

Since you guys like to bitch about Nintendo, do you think that japanese gamers have the same gripes about Nintendo as many of us do, or do you think they love Nintendo and feel they can do no wrong? Like do you think those guys actually LIKE the friend code bullshit?

CTZ, why were you never there for me? I tried calling again. You don't pick up any more. Why did you leave me?

@ Naia

That's a damn good question, and if we don't ask it tonight, it's only because we want to save it until next week. I probably should have specified that we're really like the questions to focus on CTZ, sort of a "community feedback" kind of thing.

Now, although Necros has been brought up on numerous accusations of racism and never convicted, how do you people feel about continuing to let him preach the word of the "master race"

or the chest, which boxes the hearth and lungs?

and do those people come at you with chain-mails?

do you get many forwards?

CTZ, watch out for that shark there ...
And I think this makes up for the last episode being a day late.

Oh, and my question: Why is Raiden such a motherfucking bitch? I'm playing through Metal Gear Solid 2 for the first time, and I get to the part on Big shell where he's supposed to disarm the bomb, and all of a sudden, Codec rings, OH! Let me talk to my Girlfriend for 20 minutes while this bomb is ticking away! No fucking sense.

OKay I will try this again with a question for CTZ:

As community manager do you find it hard sometimes to be a dick to people that fail or does it does it make you all happy inside, like the warm-in-the-special-parts kind of happy?

I would imagine that would be a hard job being the cop of DToid so-to-speak.

Also, sharks?

Hamza, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being “fuck that guy in the pee hole” and 10 being “if I could fast-forward time to when he gets here so I could kiss him, I would”...how excited are you to meet me? For me, it’s about a 12 on that scale.

First off, I want to say props to a fellow Cammy fan in CTZ. Don't let Buster get you down. :p

Secondly, my question: what is the average day like for a community manager/shark such as you? Is it boring? Exciting?
