Episode 10, don't fail me now!

Greetings people of the Internets,

Episode 10 should be happening pretty soon here. Hopefully the outcome won't be as tragic as last time. I haven't discussed it with Bud yet, but I was thinking during episode 10 we'd discuss what game to play for our "Backtrack Episode" (title pending), where we go back and play an old game we missed or never finished, and then devote an entire episode to discussing that game. For the record, we're not trying to be original, we know every other podcast is doing this and it's something we'd like to do as well. So if you have any suggestions for games or names for the show, let us know!

As usual, we'll be talking about videogame news, what we've been playing and what we're looking forward to. Email any questions/comments you'd like us to talk about on the show to midwestgamer@gmail.com or leave a comment on this post.

Thanks for listening!

Midwest Gamer Podcast Episode 9 - "Garage Band Fail"

Hey Guys,

Episode 9 is up. But prepare to be disappointed, Garage Band ate up all but about 13 minutes of the show. So we published what is listenable, but it's not a whole lot. We made it through news before the screw-up. Sorry for the short show, hopefully we won't have this problem again. Thanks for listening, guys!

Show Notes

-Ghostbusters, L4D DLC, Borderlands

-Garage Band Fail

ps - not sure why the mp3 reads as 57 minutes either. It's only about 13. Just more evidence of the inevitable disaster that is Episode 9!

Matt (MWG)

Episode 9 in the works.

Hey Doods.

Episode 9 is in the pants pocket of MWG and we're just about to yank it out for all the world to see! We'll be talking about what we've been playing, what's in the news, and what we're looking forward to playing. As always, we'd love to hear any comments/questions you guys have. Leave your comments/questions here, or send us an old fashioned email at midwestgamer@gmail.com

Also, what do you guys think about the new site layout? If there's anything you dislike and think should be changed, let us know.

Again, thanks for listening!

Sad News....but not totally.

I hate to be the bearer of sad news, but show #6 may be a little late this week. The show is all ready to upload but it appears that mypodcast.com is "upgrading server software". I will upload the episode as soon as I can but who knows how long the site will be down. Look on the bright side though, maybe mypodcast.com will be less glitchy after the upgrade? Let's hope so.

Matt (MWG)

Podcast Download Issues?

So I've heard from a few listeners who are having problems downloading the podcast. We can start posting the show to a separate location if we need to. Before we do that though, I kind of wanted to know how many people are having issues. It could just be Mypodcast acting up again, but, if you're having problems downloading, could you leave a comment and let me know how your trying to listen to the show (ex. Itunes, Downloading off Mypodcast, using player on Mypodcast)? That would help out a ton.

Thanks guys,

Matt (MWG)

Hey you all,

Thanks a shload for listening. Episode #3 is up! We'll try a friday release from here on out and see how it goes. It may become too much of a time crunch, but we'll see.
