Minisode #2 Fixed

Some helpful person brought it to my attention that the Silent Hill minisode wasn't properly linked to. I'm not sure how that happened or how I missed it in the first place. It's fixed now, sorry for the mix up - go give it a listen!

In other news, I have no idea when we'll get the next full podcast up. Scheduling conflicts abound. Contact your favorite cast member and tell them how much you miss them!

Meanwhile, stay tuned for a few more minisodes in the coming weeks. On the plate is the newish game Dead Space, maybe some Fable 2, and possibly a short episode on the movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.

All Things Awesome Minisode #2: Silent Hill: Homecoming

Hey all,

Another minisode is up. This time, we cover Silent Hill: Homecoming, otherwise known as Silent Hill 5. In the first part of the show (about 20 minutes), we give a basic review of the game. In the second part of the show, we delve deep into spoiler territory and discuss the endings and symbolism of SH:H, and the implications of this game on the SH franchise. We're both Silent Hill fans, so we ended up rambling on about the story for a good 40 minutes.

SPOILER WARNING! At around the 20 minute mark, you'll hear the Silent Hill sirens. If you don't want any spoilers on SH:H or other games in the series, stop listening!

(recorded: Sunday 10/5, hosts: Schmitty, Netta) duration: 1 hour 3 minutes, 30.1mb)

Remember, spoilers start at about the 20 minute mark.

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.

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!
