Digital Press Podcast (All Episodes)

Ok, computer has been busy encoding this monster of a second episode since very, very early this morning (or I should say extremely late night for me). As soon as it's done, I will upload and then you can all enjoy. Rock!

P.S. For those wondering what it was like when the decision was made to get audio version up within 24/48 hours. It went a little like this (group of Joe, Frankie, Mike "tonythetiger") all talking about getting audio up quickly after recording. Yes that sounds like a great plan, they all cheered. Happy mob then turns to me and says "Mike get it done!"

[killersquirel]

The second episode will be up in a day or so. I'm just waiting on the encoding process to be completed to upload this episode. We will be filming the third episode this Sunday if anybody has any questions that they would like to submit.

Game on!

Thank you so much for being patient! Hope you enjoy!

Okay, this is going to be pretty much every question/suggestion I can think of that I'd like to see in future episodes (Sorry about the magnitude of this post):

Store stuff:
1. As someone, who will probably never have the opportunity to visit the store, how about a tour?
2. How did it all start? What was taken into concideration when deciding to open a store? What kind of stock did you have in the beginning? How has things changed?
3. What goes into concideration when taking in used games and how do you price them? Rarity/demand/condition etc.
4. What is the rarest item you have for sale in the store? And the most expensive?
5. What is the most insane thing you have ever had traded in?
6. What kind of games do you usually not accept? And, what do you really wish someone would trade in?
7. How do you decide what to display, and how do you display it? As a budding collector I'd like some thought on this.
8. What are your biggest concerns regarding the store?

digitpress.com stuff:
1. How, when and WHY did it all start?
2. What does the future hold for the site?
3. When's the next edition of the Collector's Guide coming out? And, will there be more PAL content?
4. Any juicy controversies we need to be aware of?
5. Can Kitsune keep up the flow of craziness in the Finds thread or will he eventually have assimilated every pop culture trinket known to man?
6. What are your favorite thread and/or subforum?

Game related stuff:
1. As a PAL person I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Commodore systems, which were extremely popular over here (Specifically C64, Amiga, CD32).
2. What are your top 5 game systems of all time? And possibly bottom 5?
3. Games: Loose, boxed, or sealed?
4. Thoughts on the whole game grading shebang?
5. The is the greatest game you've NEVER played?
6. What do your personal collections consist of? What are your favorite pieces?
7. Console vs. PC gaming.
8. Collecting PAL games in the US. Do people even do that?
9. So... Bio Force Ape, eh?

Other stuff:
1. The Videogame History Museum. Now that it's funded, what will the future hold?
2. Do any of you have pets? Tamagotchis and Furbys don't count.
3. You all drink beer on the *cast. Is that your drink of choice or would you rather be drinking something else? Frankie looks more like an umbrella-and-sparklers-drink kinda guy.
4. Also, what kind of beer ARE you drinking?

So... get to it!

Frankie looks more like an umbrella-and-sparklers-drink kinda guy.

...Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Not sure if this question will ever be addressed on the podcast, but since I'm being personally called out on it, YES, I'm totally a girl-drink-drunk, but those typically require mixing/blending which isn't as convenient as cracking open a bottle to start the next drink.

And, don't let the visual of a beer bottle fool you - I believe I was drinking delicious Woodchuck Amber Ciders on the first podcast and (due to my calorie restrictive diet) terrible terrible disgusting MGD 64 calorie Lemonades on the 2nd ... I got my $6 worth of buzz from those, but NEVER again.

...Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Not at all! I'll have sex on the beach with you any day

Clearly, another one of Nick's lies.

A good episode gentleman. I enjoy the candid conversations that you all have, its nice to see and hear opinions that are coming from you off the top of your head vs. something scripted. I do think that the tales from the store segment should be extended a little bit, I could see it being something a lot of people who don't actually get to go to Digital Press really enjoying.

[Nz17]

What I would like is for there to be musical interludes between segments and for the backdrop to change by segment. The arcade machines are great, but seeing them for the whole duration of the show was tedious. Also, the musical cues will let audio-only listeners know in another way when segments change.

For example, each time you switch to another show segment you could play a power-up sound effect. 1UP mushroom, Sonic ring, you name it. You could even have a different one each time.

For the visuals, just rotate around. Start with the arcade machines, then the island in the middle of the store, then the game racks, perhaps the display cases afterward, and finally (for the last segment) the exit of the store.

And try to get those lapel mics higher up! They're called "lapel mics" because they're supposed to be situated on the speakers' lapels (or near a shirt equivalent location). Joe and some others sounded fine, but Frankie's mic was too far from his mouth and thus he was difficult to hear.

Hello everyone. The Digital Press Podcast's threads have been merged into one and moved into the Classic Gaming forum. Therefore the Digital Press Podcast forum has been closed though the podcast itself will continue. Thus henceforth all posts about the podcast should be posted in this thread.

Happy listening and keep gaming!
