Podtoid 26: Drastic cast change edition! photo

Thanks to a series of unfortunate accidents and post-menopausal mood swings, we had to make drastic cast changes this week. Fortunately, we made up for it with a gratis 50% increase in jokes about Nazis!

Here's your cast:

Nex -------------------------- Portland, Oregon

Aaron Linde ----------------- Bellingham, Washington

Jim Sterling ----------------- Essex upon Badgersnout, Shropshire, UK

Chris Furniss ---------------- Seattle, Washington

Eliza Gauger ----------------- Oakland, California

Honestly, I'm a huge fan of this episode, but I'm also a huge fan of the V2 rocket, so please, judge for yourself.

As usual, you can pick up this episode from iTunes, or from Podtoid.com

(Editor's Note: As for the links Eliza spoke of in Podtoid, the first, her current work, can be found here, and the second, the steampunk title, can be found here. -- Nex)

(Editor's Note The Second: 25 is coming shortly. Stay tuned. Same 'Toid time, Same 'Toid channel.)

Electro is spot on; Eliza and Florian were definitely the greatest Kotaku writers.

Damn that sucks. Can we get some logos or something for Gamers for Gaming, and is there a website on the way?

I wanna throw it in my forum sigs, spread the word etc.

You guys think Jim's mic sucked? Hahaha you guys should have heard my old microphone -- it sounded like I was using a vacuum cleaner during a storm with a lawn mower running in the background.

OH MY FUCK ITS ELIZA GAUGER OMG ORGASM FUCK YES

Not even Jim Sterling can ruin this one for me. (I'm kidding! Kidding! I promise!) Looking forward to it. And you know, if Eliza started writing for Destructoid, I might die from an overdose of joy.

Hah!

That's called lag, man. That's skype for you!

Now if I could magically have everyone from around the globe come to my house and record in my home recording studio, then yeah! There would be no audio cutting out. BUT NO. WE HAVE TO HAVE A FUCKING BRITISH GUY DON'T WE. SHIT.

Be honest, the post-menopausal mood swings you refer to were Workman's, right?

Oh, and another yay for Eliza!

oh hey guys "Thrill Kill" was never released it was permanently shelved by virgin but is very readily available on torrents (like three versions) but you need a modded playstation of some type or a modded xbox to play it... so i've heard...

There's an easy way to eliminate the Skype lag. Have everyone record their own track on their end using a program like Audacity. FTP the files to whoever and then combine them all. Have everyone count down or something when recording begins so you know where to sync it up.

Amusing show gents (and lady). I recognize the song at the end originally being from, but where did you find such a delicious remix?

that game eliza was trying to think of was called "metronome" it looked very very cool.

@ savory

Easy way? hardly. Do you know how hard it is to get everyone together at a certain time to even record the dang thing?

We used to do the very thing you speak of on my podcast, the weekly geek, but it was horrible and took FOREVER. I am currently using Ubercaster and it's perfectly fine.


By the way, over on the podtoid site someone asked what the ending music was. It is called DreamofZeal and you can download it over at ocremix. http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00609/#
