Couch Podtatoes Episode 45: Community Content #4

CP4

As it is still the month of May and we’re plugging away at this whole NBI thing, I felt it was fitting to do a show with one of our brand new bloggers. Mr. Tyranny, otherwise known as Tyrannodorkus was kind enough to volunteer his services for this special community content episode. As is tradition with this feature, Mr. T was able to bring his ideas to the table for discussion, and as such we went on to talk about user-generated content in games. We also talk about what we’ve been playing lately, and I do a small interview with my guest to ask him what he thinks about the NBI so far. Unfortunately do to time conflicts Eri wasn’t able to make this recording so it is just Tyrannodorkus and I. Check it out, and we’ll see you next week!

Couch Podtatoes Episode 41: Community Content #3 (Part Two)

CP4

Hey gang. This week is the continuation of last week’s show with Mystical Mesmer. The same disclaimer applies to the audio quality, and Mesmer is already in the market for a new microphone 😛 I should also notate that it’s a much shorter show than usual, as it was too much to add to last week’s show, and this is all that was left. Next week we’re doing something big, so stick around.

Couch Podtatoes Episode 40: Community Content #3 (Part One)

CP4

As mentioned previously, we have decided to fully embrace the community aspect of our show and are continuing on with this new feature, where a member of the blogosphere comes onto the show and picks the topics for discussion. I love the community interaction and seeing what topics people want to discuss first hand, rather than just taking stabs in the dark or only talking about what we care about. It’s also rather nice to get a break from brain storming show ideas! This week The Mystical Mesmer joins us and we had a rather lengthy discussion revolving around games in progress and PvP. Because this recording ran a bit long, I decided to break it into two parts, so you’ll get the first couple of topics this week, and we’ll finish up the discussion next week.

Due to some technical difficulties/limitations, there were some parts where the sound quality wasn’t quite up to par, and my normal editing techniques helped a bit, but you’ll probably notice some portions of the show that don’t sound quite right. I apologize for this, but with so many guests and differing equipment, these things happen from time to time. I hope you’ll bear with us because the conversation was still worthwhile.

Couch Podtatoes Episode 36: Community Content #2

CP4

This week we’ve gone back to the well again, and this time we came up with Randark from the Return of the Retro podcast and blog. Like the similarly titled episode before it, which guest starred Wolfy’s Eyes, this is a show where the community member comes up with the topic for discussion and we delve into it. As you will hear during the introduction, I plan to make this a regular feature, probably somewhere around once a month or so, and if you are interested in joining us, let us know in the comments or via Twitter. Of course, if I don’t hear from anyone by the time this comes around again, I’ll put out the casting call on Twitter myself. This time around, Randark wanted to talk about the Toxicity of Gaming Communities, so we spent quite a bit of time talking about League of Legends, Smite, MMOs, and forum and blogging communities. We also try to come up with some solutions to the problem, but as we all know, there hasn’t been a great way to solve this problem yet, and it’s not going away. Anyway, enjoy the show.
