All Things Awesome Minisode #1: Spore

Hey guys,

Trying something new here. Since all of the primary cast is pretty busy most of the time, it's tough to do podcasts more than once a month or so. As such, I've decided to launch some shorter, but more frequently updated minisodes that I'll be recording with my girlfriend Netta co-hosting. These will generally be somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes long probably, but I'm not sure how often they'll be recorded. They'll probably focus more on specific video games, TV and movies.

This debut episode is our review and discussion of Maxis' new game, Spore. We cover what happens in each of the phases, how they play, and what we think of each stage and the game's creation options.

(recorded: Monday 9/22, hosts: Schmitty, Netta) duration: 36 minutes, 17.2mb)

As a side note, this minisode isn't an indication of any changes to the main podcast. There'll be no cast changes or anything like that - the minisode is just a supplemental, it's not a replacement or change in direction, style or focus. It's just a way to keep the site active in between main casts, and get in depth into a few topics that we may not have time for in the main show. Thanks for listening!

You guys mention "flow" without naming it, it's the flash game where you're some kind of microorganism and you go around eating other bits, very relaxed and simple gameplay, I wouldn't be suprised if some of spore's micro-organism level gameplay was affected by it.
