The Out-Cast: Episode 20 - Tokyo Game Show 2011

Well, TGS 2011 has come and gone, but we're still here... well, most of us anyway. A scant few days after returning to Japan Gwyn is off again hopping across the world. He had this to say:

Hey there Out-Cast listeners! The podcast you are about to listen to was
edited on a plane. Unfortunately, as a result, we don’t have any music, but . . .
on A PLANE!

Feel free to take a moment to dwell upon just how awesome that
is. A plane. That’s possibly even more awesome than editing something on a boat.
And speaking of boats, there’s quite a bit of boat discussion to be had this
episode, along with some chat about a tiny little event that seems to have
almost slipped by us unnoticed . . . TGS 2011.

So here it is at long last. The Out-Cast’s TGS 2011 Special. Enjoy it
however you can. Preferably on a boat.

Or even A PLANE!

So kick back and listen . Oh and this time we have added ambiance as my local community celebrates a festival right outside my front door. So if you liked the sounds of the bar last time, get ready to rock out to some serious taiko drumming!

The Out-Cast: Episode 19 - What's the Happs Special... WTF?!?

With Gwyn out of the country and a myriad of technical difficulties I was supprised when what showed up in my inbox but a new Out-Cast ready to go. Gwyn had this to say about it:

Hey there everyone! Gwyn here, posting this from an undisclosed secret location.
We have had a list of technical issues with this episode of the podcast
thats extreme even for us. But despite these, and despite being literally an
ocean apart, the Crew has managed to get some new content together, so please
bear with us through the technical hiccups because I think you'll enjoy what
we've scavanged up. You'll thrill to Kyle's description of his theatrical-sized
'chainsaw', gasp at special guest Daniel feits longest use of expletives ever
recorded, be shocked at Richards Skype connection, and slowly back away from
Gwyn's attempts to record at 11pm on his way home from birthday drinks while
consuming....more birthday drinks.

Next stop - TGS!

So long story short we lost an entire Mailbag but luckily, friend of the Out-Cast Dan Feit was on hand to pick up the slack on a short stop-over in Tokyo. Enjoy!

Kept you waiting huh?

The next podcast will be up very soon everyone. I am out of the country for work and have been somehow locked out of this account from the main computer I'm using, hence the delay.

But mere 10hr flights, 14hr work days and thousands of miles shall not deter the Out-cast Podcast! Keep an eye out for something new soon.

On a different note, those who follow me on twitter will no doubt already be aware that Maaya got married last week - to none other than Kenichi Suzumura. How is this related to gaming? Well, as Squarenix fans have probably already realised, this means that in real life Zack ended up with Aerith after all :-)

Roleplayers' Realm Episode 3: Kat, Richard and Super Robot Wars Z2

Hey everybody, Richard (Radical Dreamer) here to add an an addendum to the Out-Cast episode 17. I mentioned Kat and I would talk about Super Robot Wars Z2 in-depth on her podcast, GamePro's Roleplayers' Realm. So check it out here!

Richard on the GamePro's "Roleplayers' Realm" Podcast

Hey everybody, Richard (Radical Dreamer) here to do a bit of self-promotion. Friend of the Out-Cast, Kat Bailey, has recently moved from 1Up to GamePro. And with the move she has left behind "Active Time Babble" and taken the helm of GamePro's new "Roleplayers' Realm"Podcast. And thanks to gracious invitation from Kat, it features a 40-minute segment with your's truly covering The Last Story.

Bit of back-story on this whole thing. We have had no end of technical difficulties getting this whole thing recorded. With the blackouts in Japan, I found myself getting up at 4:30am to record --only to discover that to our mutual dismay, Kat was being recorded but not me. Luckily, the pod-casting guru's at GamePro were able to get everything good to go... but not until after we were forced to reschedule. Then after recording, we managed to lose the second half of our Last Story talk in a computer error. So what you're hearing is half take-one and half take-two. Despite all the troubles though, I'm very happy with it. And hey, all the problems are out of the way now. Anyway, this looks to be a reoccurring gig, so you'll probably be hearing me on "Roleplayers' Realm" when it hits every other week.

But don't worry! The Out-Cast will continue normally and won't be canceled or anything like that. The reason we don't have a new episode recorded yet is due to my moving to a new apartment more than anything else. In the coming weeks we do plan to have a new episode up and ready.

Again, big thanks to Kat for thinking of me for the spot on her show. Also one for Gwyn for Fed-Exing me the Pod-Cast mic so I sounded good on the cast.

Peace Out.
