Digital Press Podcast (All Episodes)

[killersquirel]

Hey everyone,

The video version of the Digital Press webcast is now available online. The chatty gang tackle various subjects such as the Videogame History Museum, Xbox Kinect, Viewer Messages, and a video only feature "Tour of the Store!". Did I mention the surprise twist ending?

Um, can this be uploaded to somewhere like YouTube where the video gets re-sized to something smaller and more manageable? I don't want to download 2.8 GiB worth of data to see an hour long podcast.

Until we get this up on the official Digital Press YouTube, here's a link to the episode on Vimeo:

Some of the fundraiser section should be excised. I think some of the comments could easily be construed as ridiculing people who donated to the museum. It's safe to say I've never been part of a fundraiser in which that took place. Your event was a success, you are deserving of congratulations... stop using it as an opportunity to stick it to your enemies. If your final product is as good as it sounds like it's going to be, you have no time for that.

What do you mean? They made clear they were grateful for every dollar, didn't they?

I think some of the comments could easily be construed as ridiculing people who donated to the museum.

Wow, if there's any of that there I missed it.

But if you do feel that way, I'd suggest addressing that concern directly with Joe, John and/or Sean (whichever one of them said whatever struck you that way) as I'm pretty sure they're a bit busy to be paying attention to this thread at the moment.

While I can't speak for any of them, I don't personally believe that there was any intent to ridicule anybody and that if it comes across that way it was in fact a matter of being misconstrued.

Holy crap it's the Digital Press Podcast Episode 4!

In this episode we discuss and examine some interesting game console controllers from the history books, we delve into a poignant listener question about the fate and possible future of Mega Man Legends 3 and we get some great hands-on time with the Sifteo modular portable game console ... block, thingy. It's really cool.

This episode also features a VERY special closing segment where we discuss a major gripe that we all have with Batman Arkham City. I PROMISE this segment is worth the price of admission, especially for those who like Batman or have alternately ever wanted to punch us in the face/hit us with things.

So stay tuned till the end, where we ask the question ... is this the END of the Digital Press Podcast crew? Tune in next week to find out!

Please note, due to popular demand - this episode contains no exposed knees, calves, thighs or other appendages below the waistline.

I posted an apology to the podcast team in OT. I didn't post it here because the original comments were made in that forum.

[killersquirel]

I'll make sure that Frankie shows more leg and knees in the next one. I tried to hide away the sex appeal, but let's face it sex sells and Frankie oozes it.

Thanks to everybody who checked out Episode 4!

Since we're in a generous mood tonight, here's a link to the Batman Arkham City sketch.

Check out our thoughts on the GOTY contender and watch us get beat up here:

Nice!

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

Nice!

Thanks! Can't guarantee these in every episode, but we're all proud of it and hope to produce more like it in the future.

Recording went surprisingly smoothly except for one instance where Frankie got hit in a sensitive area with a batarang thrown by yours truly.

I don't think I'm allowed to throw things anymore.

Nice! Thanks brother!

In a stunning display of post-production speed the fifth episode of the Digital Press Podcast has arrived earlier than expected!

In this episode we discuss: THE Nintendo Entertainment System ... and NOTHING ELSE.

That's right, an entire episode dedicated to our personal memories, recollections, experiences and only slightly misrepresented historical events related to Nintendo's first, fondly remembered and in some cases finest system!

Check it out here: http://vimeo.com/35073366

Audio version to follow!

Still a bit of work to do on the audio mixing side (when someone laughs, the sound gets distorted), but you guys made a lot of improvements already. NES memories power!

Yeah, we do our best to give each person a good baseline audio level on their independent microphone, but we don't have a board-op running as we record ... so, when we spike the audio (and once conversations get going our voices tend to raise) nobody's there to adjust it.

That aside, thanks for watching and for the feedback!!

I've really been enjoying these podcasts, but this one especially. My parents were not keen on the idea of buying me video game systems when I was growing up. They finally broke down and bought me a Genesis for Christmas when it came out. But I remember wanting an NES so much and having to play at my friend's houses. And all my friends had one. However, I remember going with one of my friends and his mom to Toys R' Us to buy one when they came out. This brought up a lot of fond memories for me.

Thanks again.

Thanks so much!

We know that there have been a lot of really great, comprehensive books, shows and podcasts about the history of Nintendo ... and while we could have probably done an hour or so of recounting the history of the industry we felt that it would be a much more entertaining time (both for us and for listeners) to talk about our personal recollections and feelings about being "NES enthusiasts" in the past as well as the present generation.

Now that we're in a groove we're going to do our best to keep it fun and interesting!
