I really like PolyCast and when I figure out how to play ModCast without loading Music Jutebox I'm sure I'll enjoy that too.
Have you tried just downloading the mp3 file and playing it in media player?
The show's got potential, the hosts were good. I think I'm going to listen to this reguraly.
Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

I really enjoyed this episode. That said, I sort of zoned out during the Civ III discussion. I know there's a group that still plays/mods the thing, but for me, Civ III died the day I realized that Scientific Great Leaders didn't work properly.
Oh, and when I saw that multiplayer didnt work the way it should.
And that whole Submarine DoW fiasco.
And the way cities would just flip without warning.
And...oh, never mind, you get the point. Anyway, the point of all this is that it's cool to include non Civ IV stuff, but I am not personally interested in Civ III stuff. Like I'd rather hear stuff about GalCiv, even, just b/c I will actually play that again in future versus Civ III, which I doubt I ever will again.
Anyway, good first episode, and I'm looking forward to hearing more!

Yup, very encouraging. Instead of just ignoring a comment like that DQ talks down to the person... 'run along now' like Etchy is a child to be dismissed.
DQ is far from the worst offender in this here at Poly.
I was responding to a criticism here that is not constructive. The "Run along now" was only in the context of the MC/PC discussion threads given what Etchy had said and how he said it. That said, I can appreciate the view that that line on my part may have gone just a bit too far. In fact, I have gone one step further and have edited that part of my reply out in acceptance of that position. What I said in the first paragraph contains the points I wanted to get across.
I am now the first to admit that in past I have not responded well to constructive criticism and I regret those times. I can't change them. But I can and now recognize and appreciate that constructive criticism is beneficial to all parties (even though at times it's possible I misinterpret constructive points for not). You're right that people don't like being talked to down, Lancer -- myself included. My fellow co-hosts included. Modders included. That's what Etchy did; such criticism just for criticism's sake is not helpful and is in fact unhelpful.
Etchy, if you have constructive criticism about MC/PC by all means please share... it's from that which could only serve to improve the show. There's no "rule" about criticism being constructive but such criticism should yield results that all parties can welcome.
