  • ModCast #6: "Where are my Robots?"

    The sixth episode of ModCast is here, an official podcast of Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS). "Where are my Robots?" (51m16s) features the four core panelists Wouter "Locutus" Snijders, Tony "GarretSidzaka" Kiehl, Kenneth "Impaler[WrG]" Ferland and Oscar "Elhoim" Velzi.

    ModCast is a bi-weekly ~45-minute audio production of Apolyton Civilization Site and is an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on Civilization modding; its sibling show PolyCast focuses on Civ strategy. To date, ACS is the only community on the web to produce its own Civilization podcasts.

    Quote of all segments for most humourous factor: "I'm much more prettier" by Oscar in the first 'Artist's Sketchpad' topic.

        My favorite modcast so far! I really liked that you guys had more experience with the mateial you were covering and it really came through in your analysis. Definitly made me want to go try the scenario.

        I think thats ideal for your coverage, find something good and give it a fair analysis. It should be an honor to be slected for coverage on modcast and if you guys help point people to good mods then your audience will grow.

          Good to hear we managed to fake it successfully this time

          Well, that's sort of the idea. With the Artist Sketchpad and Cartography Room and the like we mostly try to focus on stuff that's new and also try to provide some variety in each show (i.e. not just having a huge Artist Sketchpad and nothing else, which is easily possible considering how much artwork gets released every week compared to the number of code mods and scenarios). But yeah, we definitely do apply some quality control in choosing our topics, frankly most of the mods I download for this show don't make the topics list.
