Nerds on the Rocks/Dual Wielding FeedBack - Page 2

BreakABone · 06-07-2010, 09:04 AM

With the site somewhat up and functional, I thought it was best to stop bogging down the forums with like 2-3 threads a week dealing with the podcasts.

This will serve as a general feedback thread for both podcasts.

And once we get further in the week will merge the other feedback threads.

In this special, mega-sized Nerds on the Rocks/Dual Wielding podcast, the Nerds and the Gunslingers combine forces to talk about the biggest event in gaming, e3. They give their thoughts on Project Natal, PS Move, the 3DS, Zelda and so much more. So pull up a stool, grab a nice cold one (hopefully on the rocks) and enjoy this very special podcast.

This is the first episode in .m4a format with chapter divisions and everything. There should be a link in this thread, but BAB has apparently decided to make you click through to the Nerds on the Rocks website to get it. It also should be going up on the podcast feed whenever somebody gets around to it. Please check it out and let us know if it works for you because we may stick with it for future podcasts.

I took this opportunity to introduce you all to some of my favorite songs from OCRemix. I'll have a track listing later today.

You should really work out who talks when. It was a bit chaotic this episode, and I felt some participants didn't get their say.

I'm at 1/3 right now. I'm doing two or three things at the same time, so it's a bit hard to follow everything.

Well to be fair, its a bit chaotic because we had 5 people on, which probably won't happen too often.

On the same hand, it makes the conversation seem more naturally when people are talking over each other/to each other. As opposed to, you speak, stop, someone else speaks, stops, responses.

Good show. Might have been my favorite which is really odd since I had no interest in what you guys were talking about. Just melded nicely. Very natural. And sounded like you guys had fun. Probably since before one people would have experience with what they were talking about while the others politely listened. Here everyone had ideas about things that were yet to happen and thus all had the same level of knowledge...something like that.

But seriously, I had no idea there were five people on the show until the very end when Xantar listed everyone. The whole time I thought there were four guys, two of which I had trouble telling apart. Turns out I had trouble telling apart three people. Need to up your accents or change where you pause like Christopher Walken, just something.

Yeah but in a real conversation, there's non-verbal communication. So you'll see when somebody has something to say. Maybe you could send a typed message on Skype saying that you really want to speak your mind.
Another improvement would be the host asking people specifically. For that he'd probably need to keep track of who knows what.

Also, I believe it's Xantar: could you mute the 'received message' sound of Skype? Having to hear that sound in a podcast is unprofessional man, UNPROFESSIONAL!!!

I wear headphones whenever I use my computer for anything, so it wasn't me.

Angrist · 06-11-2010, 03:25 AM

I'm pretty sure it was Xantar.

Angrist · 06-07-2010, 09:32 AM

That was a good listen.

So we had great success with this yesterday, things happen.

So trying again tonight at around 10 EST/7PST who can make it?

Default · 06-03-2010, 04:41 PM

Realize this is a bit late, but I can be there between 7:30 and 8:00 if you guys need someone. Have to attend some dinner thing tonight, but will try my best to get out earlier (that is, if anyone else is able to tonight)

uber_paddler · 06-03-2010, 05:06 PM

I'll be around yet again.
