Escapist CommuniCast: UPDATE 6

[DoPo]

Here is the feedback - it utterly sucks - too much purple, too little sheep, it doesn't even taste right. And it turned my fish into a zombie. I didn't even have a fish!

That's the first impression, though, be back with more in about...1 hour, 35 minutes and 11 seconds, roughly.

EDIT: OK, real first impression, Fappy I didn't really expect you to sound like this.

Did you imagine I'd sound more cat-like?

No, not really, but your voice is too...dunno, low, I suppose. I imagined you having a higher pitched voice. Not a lot, just a bit. But yeah, also, I wouldn't have minded if you, like, mewed or purred or something.

I'm sorry to disappoint on both counts

Get someone flirty-er than Daystar on there and I may do a few sexy growls >:3

Brian Blessed! You must get him in the show! Or, Batman. He's more into growling.

The fuck is that supposed to mean?!

This is why we're not together any more...

Don't kid yourself. We're not together anymore because someone could keep it in their pants!

You unfaithful harlot!

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

It's still early days yet, but we'd love to hear your criticisms, your ideas, what you'd like us to talk about, anything, but most of all, we really want to get you guys involved.

Get random guests on for some of the shows, people who've had a big presence in a major thread that week, someone who had an interesting or profound opinion on a controversial or thought provoking subject. It'll keep the podcast fresh and it'll make it more interesting for the community to hear from different people on the site every now and then, rather than just a standard cast where it'd essentially be listening to a conversation between friends.

Pretty good idea though, it'd be awesome if it was eventually featured on the site alongside the Escapist's own.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

I kept asking to join the podcast.

I never got an answer. So I killed myself.

Nice work Daystar.

Sorry about the suicide and everything.

We'll be sure to make a passing mention in the next podcast.

[sub][sub]No we won't.[/sub][/sub]

I'l make sure to haunt you all and force you to watch End of Evangelion again and again. But seriously, I am interested in being a part of the podcast if there is room available.

We'll sort something out.

Nobody is turned on by the smell of cat piss...

That was the plan

We'd love to get frequent guests onto the show.

More feedback, I'm 22 minutes in. Do talk about Morrowind, Fappy, I'm playing it right now (not at the moment but yeah). I'd love to hear more

I could talk about it forever. I've been meaning to start a new file soon. I think the only major questline I never finished was House Redoran and a few Daedric quests. I still never finished Bloodmoon... probably because the quests just felt so... grindy D:

EDIT: Also just changed my title again to something distinctly Morrowind!

How are you going to select which people?

 

[bobmus]

I'd be incredibly amused to hear the reaction of someone who tries the 'alternative' podcast! xD

Wait until you hear the voice of @Matthew94

We haven't finalised any process for that yet, we're really interested in garnering interest first, but rest assured, we'll think of something

We're still trying to figure that out. To start I'd say it needs to be someone who at the very least has a decent quality mic (mine was $30, not too pricey). I think everyone can agree on that.

Beyond that I think it should be someone that would be appropriate to have for the main discussion, but I'm not sure every episode will have such a narrow focus. It may just come down to consensus and we'll definitely want listener input on who should be a guest.

"Go ahead, outlander, what do you need?" =D

I'm trying to keep the game balanced now. I only allow myself to sell one expensive piece of equipment at a time to a merchant, none of that fancy swapping stuff - the rules are simple - if the trader has, like, 1500 gold, that's the maximum I can get for an item, even if it's an ebony shield or whatever. Well, also, I could buy stuff from the trader at the same time, but it would be only things I actually need, not something to just sell later, so arrows, repair hammers, or maybe healing potions, etc. Also, I'm not using the skank merchant, and since I can't recall where the guys with lots of money are (aside from Mournhold, but the quest hasn't started yet), I don't go to them, either.

I find it quite fun. It's finally interesting to get rewards from quests! I mean, I went and got 1000 gold for a Morag Tong assassination, and I needed them. Sure, I found an NPC with a full Ebony set but I only got 20K from it, which isn't that much money. Not to mention that since a piece of equipment can only get you 2.5k, I'm more inclined to just leave it if it's weighting me down.

I installed Morrowind 2012, and the game looks good, I also have GCD levelling mod. But for some reason all the cliff racer removing mods conflict with something in the Overhaul! I am NOT happy. Also, I'd rather just play the game, so I haven't gone around checking where the conflict is.

I just started it. 30 seconds in. Also, I would have suggested he got him on there - so he can at least have some presence on the forums.

EDIT: Ugh, this one is too quiet. Or probably uses stereo properly. I only have one working headphone and on Windows you can't make the sound mono or just put it through one of the channels, no, that's beyond their spec. Bleh, I'm downloading it now.

EDIT 2: no, it's just quiet. Hold on, I'll just boost the volume of the track.

 

[Colour Scientist]

A whole 29 minutes... 29 MINUTES!

Do you not think I have better things to do with my time?

Well, I don't. I'll get back to you.

Edit: kinda just feels like I'm eavesdropping on a Broversation.

The power of multitasking.
I've already listened to both podcasts while also working.

I do have Parks and Rec open in another tab though. I can't pay attention to both. #firstworldproblems

Yep, I listened to the Shitcast last week while working. Doing some mindless copy/paste, so it wasn't at all distracting.

 

[Carbonyl]

I will listen to this...
But yes, please DON'T use Comic Sans.... or Impact.... or Papyrus.

Just... use Helvetica,
You can't go wrong with Helvetica.

Edit: You guys talk about sexiness and dildos for the first 4 minutes or so.
That's not criticism by the way... just an observation.

And yet... I don't feel like it was quite enough dildos.

Never enough dildos.


I demand more, in even more outrageous and unexpected context!

That's kind of my point. Would there be other people involved, I mean, would the line-up shuffle around?

That's not an 'oh god, bleugh' comment, by the way. I realise it could read as one.
