Woohoo!

Nice one guys. I've been cold turkeying for the last few days after cramming in the previous 46 podcasts (+ the .5's) over the last 3/4 months or so. I finally finished listening to 46.5 on Sunday night I think.

This will be the first one I actually listen to as a current podcast - and I intend to keep it that way from now on.

Not sure I can cope with only listening every 2 weeks from now on though. I've never actually listened to a podcast EVER before 10 pence - though I think I might have to start checking out some of these others you often bang on about now too.

Hi Guys,

Another tremendous tip top transmission with some really interesting content. Good news about the YouTube channel, I have already subscribed. It was also good to hear about Vic’s forthcoming garage conversion as I am toying with whether or not to throw some cash at mine and make it a bit more ‘homely’.

I listened to Vic’s comments about ‘pointy/shooty’ games andup until recently would’ve agreed, but I seem to have taken a liking for these, through from the old to the brand spanking new HOTD4 and the latest Transformer incarnation, admittedly these last two were the deluxe models. My kids love them.

Also taking about pins, and the only one you would own, for me mine would be the Guns ‘n’ Roses pin, never played it, but would love to own it, but damn, they are sooooo expensive, which leads me to ask you both (no conferring), Why are pins so expensive?

Good to hear Shaun contemplating a candy cab. I too am looking to buy my first piece of Japanese loveliness, just waiting for the right one to pop up. The Cave event in Paris sounded awesome, MrsM and I love Paris, maybe a trip next year…….

I really liked the new Tech Help section, which was pitched just right for me and looking forward to the next.

Can’t remember which of you was right, but the C16 was indeed a lovely dark brown colour, not black, although I fear black may have been better.

Shaun, your efforts on Uncle Poo are legendary and deserve mentioning. I wish I could’ve loved it as much as you but I just couldn’t. Diatec? Diarrhoea!! However compared to Tutankham, Uncle Poo looks positively polished!! When the makers realised that the full name wouldn't fit on the arcade cabinet, they should have binned the whole project there and then, instead of just removing a few letters, or gone the whole hog and removed "ankhamun" leaving just TUT !!! A more accurate reflection!!

WHY CAN’T YOU SHOOT UP??? RIDICULOUS STUPID NONSENSE!!!

Neil.

PS: Thanks for mentioning my DK build last podcast. It’s finally finished, so off to play a decent game!!

Great stuff looking forward to it. Still haven't finished 46.5 yet though.

Although it frustrates me I really like Tutankham. I remember playing this loads at a local cafe "the whim" bitd on a cocktail machine. I thought the graphics on Tut's face were cool and his eyes were funny but I never got past stage 2.

I seem to always like games most other people dislike lol.

Vic & Shaun...
Any chance you can record at 64bps rather than 128, as your podcasts have gone large again. :-(
-this makes downloads slower and the file-size massive!

We cannot have too much 'gurth' ;-) lol

It seemed to start from Episode #46 onwards.

Please fix,

Cheers,

DaveO.

oh..dear...no better quality dude...64bps is enough for for voice n basic music, this is a podcast.
All the other podcasters use 64bps...

The files are massive with 128.. :-(

The download is slower, and I have a massive 150Mb Optic link at home.

Oddly you listened before when I flagged this, and makes sense to match the other podcasters....

I listen to podcasts at work on my phone.

I download/stream them and don't even think about how big the download is. Why are you bothered about the size of it? It's not like we're using dial up anymore or worrying about data limits?

I can download a whole album in less than a minute.

You're the only person who has ever asked for us to downgrade / make the file size smaller.

Thought I'd best get my feedback up, before I totally forget everything again, haha. Another awesome Podcast, as was 46 & 46.5 (going back to one of those, Sunset Riders is a fab fun game, surprised Vic could not be turned round (with his detest for the game), its just meant to be a bit of fun at the end of the day and a coin guzzler :)) Uncle Poo certainly sounded a funny little game, Vics little ramble over the deliverance banjo battle song made me laugh out loud on the train. I do love the banter between you both, even if I have no interest in the game, the banter keeps me listening and learning.

Shaun is certainly slipping down the slippery arcade slope fast these days,haha what with a 2nd cab now possibly on the way, and what sounds like a 100% arcade social time nowadays :).. have you always been this hardcore or would you say this is the result of the podcast? It really must take up a lot of your time getting these together and all your travelling and research in the name of the game. Don't want you guys burning yourself out, would hate to be without the 10pence podcast, its awesome.

Tech Tips - great idea, I am sure I suggested this many many many episodes ago, last podcasts was very interesting, one tip I'd like an idea on (and also the person who asked this in the tech section of recent) is how to modify control panels, in terms of making new layouts and how to possibly fill in one you no longer need, what if there is a big hole for example.

Podcast quality, happier its gone up in file size, to be honest I normally download it at work and it only takes about 30seconds. I did 46 at home though for the first time and it took 10mins (due to my ancient 2003 laptop) which got me by surprise, but I just went off and made a cup of tea.....now you know why I always hope for it pre-work departure at 5pm :), Keep it at the higher quality, the ones where it dipped back down were just a tad too tinny.

Keep up the good work chaps.

Not sure if this will get to you guys in time for the podcast, if it doesn't then just ignore it:
I just thought I should probably update my feedback in relation to this weeks HS challenge. After initially slating the game Tut as just that, I grew to like (not love) it. Yes, it has it's faults, some big ones, but don't we all? Why can't I shoot up/down? Why can't I stop walking and stand still? Why do those annoying sprites swarm towards me in such a way that makes them so hard to shoot? Admittedly I was egged on by an urge to beat level 3 (never did - but came darn close beaten to the door by one of those blue buggers), but that is why I like your shows so much, because they get me playing games I never would've given more than 5 minutes to otherwise.
So thank you guys.
PS: If Shaun beat my score then I take all this back and you guys suck!!
