Hey Folks, Justin here.
July 31st marks the seventh week that Five Things We Like has been published online. In the past two months we’ve had ups and downs, creative foibles, and scheduling conflicts. We also had the job of experiencing our first technical difficulties and have an official lost episode now. We introduced ourselves to Facebook project organization and publishing ourselves on social media. We’ve consistently managed to put ourselves out there to garner attention, and it’s showing.
Hi new listeners. Thanks for coming along.
Time passes though and change is inevitable. You’ll notice there isn’t an episode posted today. No, we’re not going away or pod fading so quickly. Get that out of your mind. In fact forget I even said it. Better yet I’ll just delete that sentence. You already read it? I forgot to delete it? Well damn; okay keep reading but I’m watching you. Don’t go spreading any rumors. We’re facing the realism of schedules and goals and our commitment to keep our quality higher and our promise to productivity kept. Starting August 1st, Five Things We Like switches to a single weekly episode and will begin posting on Wednesday. Eventually we’ll return to our twice a week schedule but in the meantime we’ll be producing better episodes with more varied set of voices and hosts. You’ll continue to hear Andrew and me on a regular basis, and Dakota’s family just won’t go away as we have more episodes with his cousin Tony popping in. We’ll also be reaching out to some of the other wonderful podcasters out there and see if we can kidnap them for a show or two.
Stay around awhile and enjoy the show. We love doing this and we love hearing your feedback. Stick around for tomorrow’s episode where we’ll be talking about the fantasy universes out there is book, games, and television.
Until then,
Justin
Hey all,
Justin here. This week Andrew, Tony, and Daniel join me to talk about a couple of Live Action TV shows we like.
I want to apologize for the audio for this episode. Turns out 4 video feeds was just too much for my laptop to handle. We’ll find a work around for future episodes but for now, enjoy the fruits of my editing labor.
Hey all,
Justin here. Andrew and Dakota join me as we discuss movie snacks, treats, and if a martini is just a tasty beverage or if it’s good movie food.
Since we’re talking snacks, our promo today is for Podculture. Join them over on the VoG network and enjoy their zany geeky fun.
Hey Folks,
Justin here.
I wanted to share with you some of the Kickstarter projects I’m keeping an eye on. A few of these are running out soon so if they interest you, take a look fast!
- Maria Call European Adventure Fest
Maria Call is a fun musician I first experienced at Dragon*Con some time back. She has a lot of fun exciting music and now she wants to share it with the world. She’s past her goal but some of her stretch goals are down right amusing such as singing Tom Lehrer’s Elements song and the Reading Rainbow Theme Song (already funded!). A mere $5 nets you the live album she’ll be recording and will inch her ever closer to those stretch goals.
- Shadowrun Online
With the success of Shadowrun Returns at the start of this week, it’s little wonder their sister MMO project has jumped into Kickstarter gear. The MMO looks promising and as a long time Shadowrun Fan, expect to see me chip another 3 figures into this project.
- Super Retro Squad
From the folks who brought you Super Mario Crossover, comes a game almost exactly like but free of Intellectual Property restrictions! Super Retro Squad is basically a platformer adventure game bringing some old school game favorites into a larger complex video game world. It’s like if someone remade Captain N without all the names changes and different outfits.
- Project Ninja Panda Taco
If the name alone doesn’t draw you in, I don’t know what else I can say… Okay, I’ll try. Project Ninja Panda Taco (such a fun name to write), is a table top RPG designed to be fast, fun and awesome. It’s designed for quick play and is approachable by seasoned and new gamers.
- Moon Intern
Okay, so they’re mostly all games! Look, Moon intern is my style of classic game meets modern game theory. Taking the role of an intern doing the worst jobs on the colony, you can experience the game in a way that echos your play style. It reacts, adapts, and evolves based on how you play. Want to kick butt? The game will let you. Want to out think and solve puzzles? You can do that too. This game provides and it’s not an experience donation to get a full copy of the completed game.
Okay folks! Get out there and support these folks!
Hey there,
Justin here. Today we’re talking apps. Be they on your phone, your Mac, your soon to be Windows box, your Roku, your tablet, we all use them these days. Dakota, Andrew, and Me go through our favorites in today’s official tenth episode.
Hey there,
Justin here. Dakota is back on the show as Andrew’s time travelling exploits have whipped him away from the past four episodes for his transgressions. See what happens when Andrew try to explains just what the difference is between an American Miniseries and a British Series. Either that or just enjoy our constant barrage of telling each other to silence.
This week, we feature a promo for Geek Radio Daily. This is a special promo for us because it was Geek Radio Daily episode 147 – Geeky Weapons was the episode that sparked the idea for 5TWL. Thanks for a great show Flynstress, Bruce, and Billy and inspiring us to make a fun one of our own.
Hey Everyone,
