Havoc: Every time I backstab you now, consider it revenge for insulting macs, because I play on one.
April 28, 2008 at 9:30 pm
It’s not Macs I hate… I hate what Macs have made me become.
April 28, 2008 at 9:48 pm
wow i need to change my mic settings and talk more. thanks for having me on guys.
April 28, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Don’t worry Chalupa, everyone is quiet their first time on (Except Havoc. he’s loud. ALL THE TIME (hahahaha just kidding bud =P ).
April 28, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Yeah, I boot up my Mac section like 1nce a month, that’s it.
April 29, 2008 at 8:33 am
Haha! Kurzon told me to keep listening beyond the mac insult… Now I see why! I suppose I’ll keep listening to you guys for now tho…

@Frost: Loud and proud baby.
@Kurzon’s Girlfriend- Yes! Still got ya. Sorry again about my callous comments towards the Mac arena, but I can’t help it. My wife will play those goddamn Mac commercials back to back while I’m in TF2 just to irritate me and get me killed. It’s all her fault!!

Like the content in the show, just one complaint. Get everyones mics lvls the same, having everyone at very different lvls makes me want to stop the podcast.
April 29, 2008 at 3:37 pm
to Havoc06 – Apology accepted, and btw, your wife has my full support in this matter

sorry guys i kind of accidentaly screwed up the itunes podcast
i been having problems with my site so i attempted to restart the server not realising it would reset all the ip addresses and as the podcast wasnt listed on a domain it all got screwed up. I’ll re-submit it as soon as my site is re-setup. hopefully that will be tom and i’ll submit it again to itunes.
again sorry guys.
as for the apple commercials i think there funny the first time but then they get very very repetative. if u want to watch a funny one watch the parody of the mac book air on youtube lol very funny.

Havoc: also, when Hojo said the name of the map, I’m surprised that you didn’t start cursing about trains in TF2.
April 29, 2008 at 5:58 pm
@Bloodimond- believe me, the train is in a neck-and-neck race for asshole of the week (or at least the jackass that programmed it).
@jakeh- it’s going to be almost impossible to get all the mics sounding the same. For that to really be feasible, we’d all have to be the same distance apart, we’d all have to have the same internet connection, and we’d all need the exact same headsets and the exact same sound cards and drivers. Plus, the recording program we use automatically enhances the person that’s recording the show (you may have noticed that Frost usually sounds the best because of this). Now, that being said, I do agree that the volumes could be better matched in general. We’ll work on that the next episode. Scout’s honor.

Jakeh -
my apologies about my (rather booming) mic volume – like Chris pointed out, the volume levels of the call recorder (me) are typically amplified by our recording programs. I’ll fiddle with it and try and tone it down a bit for the next podcast (as I’m sure other members will do as well
)
As for quality, Chris explained that well – I’m afraid it’s very difficult for us to get better quality, unless we are A) all on a LAN together or B)all go out and buy super high bandwidth connections. We try not to surf the web/do other web based activities whilst recording to help with the quality.

Vagabond: The command you want to have on the PCG server: mp_teams_unbalance_limit 0 as in, NO AUTO-BALANCE!
May 2, 2008 at 9:37 pm
and involving the cellplay thing: it is crap. they’ve already given away like 4- 5/5s, and they waste editorial space!
May 6, 2008 at 5:38 am
hi, just heard the podcast. i thought the topics and all that were pretty good. i do have one complain though. some people sounded loud and clear while other people i could hardly hear them. would be great if everyone sounded around the same level.

RSS feed? Anybody?
May 8, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Hey guys – be sure to check out the latest post at the top of the main page – we’re going through some changes, so we’d really appreciate it if you guys could stick with us while we get all the kinks worked out.
Thanks for listening and the support!
