overcast #44
November 9th gave Phil and Ricky their first opportunity to conduct an overcast episode in front of a live virtual audience at The International Machinima Expo 2008. Having just come off their trip to New York, the “amateur” topic from #043 was fresh on their minds, so they decided to put it before the sizable crowd and see what they thought of it.
What followed was a very interesting discussion, some of which is captured here, some of which you’ll really only be able to absorb when you catch the video version of this podcast where you can read the text typed by audience members who didn’t use voice (watch Overman’s blog for info on that release). For podcast purposes, this has been edited for time, but you can still pretty much intuit what was being said in text by the responses that followed in voice.
This episode is a lower voice quality standard than normal for the show. Bandwidth issues caused some jumpiness here and there, sometimes people were too loud or too quiet and had to be adjusted on the fly, and a good chunk of the first half of the episode where Antics was discussed was lost due to a recording glitch, so that section has been cut from this edit. We’ll learn a lot from this first live show, and apply that knowledge to the next one.
Thank you for listening! How much do we love your comments? We whisper them into the ears of horses. So bring ‘em on!
