In case you didn't see it in the other thread the new podcast is up covering the Phantasy Star series:

Was thinking about a new format.

How about each episode tackles a particular year. Each contributor to the podcast that week picks a game or two from that year to discuss on the show.

Ideally we'd work out what titles would be selected before hand and people could have a chance to refamiliarise themselves with it before the show.

No word on the Sonic podcast?

Not a bad idea. Retronauts used to do it every new years where they would discuss what happened in gaming in previous years but go through them in 5 year chunks, say 85, 90, 95, 2000.

Must get back recording them since I'm finished with assignments.

Where's the sonic podcast? :P

DinoRex · 28-05-2013 4:38pm

Well it's something we can chat about on Friday with whoever makes it along.

(*I won't be fielding any questions about Sonic*)

Retr0gamer · 28-05-2013 4:38pm

BTW, NES/Famicom 20 year anniversary is in July.

Did a Sonic podcast actually get recorded, or just never happen?

I seem to remember talking about Sonic in a padded room but I was going through my 'solvent' phase at the time.

Myrddin · 28-05-2013 4:41pm

So it was recorded? Why was it never uploaded? Was it shite?

Shame, it's one I'd have been very keen to listen to

It' 4 hours of me talking about the furry culture surrounding it and agruing that because of the furry culture it's worse than Zelda CDi.

Myrddin · 28-05-2013 4:53pm

It doesn't exist then I take it? :P

DinoRex · 28-05-2013 4:58pm

ah. It does... but it was recorded in 3 awkward chunks in different studios. It's pretty long and needs a lot of editing which I just haven't been able to drum up the enthusiasm or time for.

I'll release it once the new Avalanches album drops!

Ah I see. Sure screw the editing, upload it raw & maybe revisit it at some stage?

It's was the only time I knew what I was talking about ;n; I'd a great time

I missed the first part so I'd love to give that a listen as well, Blitzkrieg (is that the right name? I'm a dope) knows his stuff

DinoRex · 17-06-2013 11:02am

Here we go... Part 1:

Many thanks Dinorex, fair dues, & look forward to listening to it!

It's actually just 1 hour of the Sonic R theme tune on a loop.

Retr0gamer · 17-06-2013 11:12am

Finally!

Expect serious misuse & abuse of mod powers if that's the case

Mr.Saturn · 17-06-2013 11:12am

I won't make mention of the irony that a podcast about the fastest thing alive took the better part of a year to surface.

Huzzah! I look forward to listening.

Myrddin · 17-06-2013 12:47pm

Who is the Sonic Guru in the podcast?

DinoRex · 17-06-2013 1:27pm

That's Blitzkrieg.

Part two has Retr0 and Sera on board. Will post it later in the week.

Myrddin · 17-06-2013 1:34pm

Some fine knowledge there by Blitzkrieg, hat firmly tipped.

He's great to talk to if you're into Sonic. I'm looking forward to listening to part 1

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 17-06-2013 4:39pm

Sonic Underground was on UTV in the morning SMTV Live as far as I remember
Great podcast, I had to laugh at the making them talk bit, I did that too >w<

Ahh, had no idea that you guys were doing this.

Massive Sonic fan here, would love to have been involved. :-/

DinoRex · 25-06-2013 12:54pm

Part 2 is now up:

If it's a Mother retrospective, I'm gonna start taking it personally.

it was recorded like last year, I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere we were doing it.

MrVestek · 25-06-2013 2:28pm

I need to pay more attention.

Ohh well!

This was the very first console game that I owned, and I loved it! (Game Gear Sonic 2 was also awesome!)

Actually have been playing it a little on the 3DS now too, great having some old Game Gear games available in a handheld format, that lasts much much longer than the Game Gear batteries/battery packs ever did!
