Sid Speaks -- PolyCast Episode 50: "That's What The Tank Said to the Spearman"

[DanQ]

It has come to our attention that we incorrectly refer to user "Gainy III" as "Gerry III" due to a transcription error on my part. This will be corrected and I will note in follow-up when that has been done.

Thanks, I'll note that on mine, please circulate an inner-office memo signature sheet noting this error, release a statement covering any binding legalities and this should suffice.....

Carry on the great work.

/me think whoever caught this should get a weekend at Mingapulco for criticizing the boss

It was the user in question actually, and I'm glad he did so we have the opportunity to respond (done) and correct it.

Curious, I went back and re-listened to Maki asking this question minutes ago.

The way she pronounces your username it does sound like she's saying Sophia to me too, but it didn't strike me until you noted it. I believe that may be the result of the speed in which she asked that question for, as you already pointed out, she jumped ahead of me to ask the question. Tisk, tisk.

Could I ask who pronounced "Gainy III?"

That was Annalee, but see this post of mine from late this morning.

Well first Polycast ever - but sure was worth it.
You all did a great job.

Luckily you also dropped my version of the question - yours' was funnier & nastier


Personally I liked the talk CivRev returning to simplicity (or earsier, or whatever in that direction). Almost makes me want to play it... though would need the console first, so most likely it will not be an option for me)


THX to all involved - sure was a fine pod... polycast.

-- hope it won't be your last. (Possibly including listening to some older episodes too.)

I don't own a console platform either, and I never have. I now consider it more a question of when as opposed to if... so I can play CivRev (at home). I enjoy Civilization IV, and I also enjoyed my time playtesting CivRev: cuts of the same cloth but still distinct.

THX to all involved - sure was a fine pod... polycast.

You're welcome -- thank you, all of you who have, for listening. On behalf of the PolyCast team, we look forward to hearing from more of you!

Ok - which one is the polycast with girls playing Civ?
(As you refer to it in the beginning)

-- that's its title too. It's our Christmas 2007 special that officially ended the show's first season.

Done.

Hmmm, I feel I was sounding overly negative when I wrote here last time. I did enjoy the program, although it lacked in some ways. Sorry if I sounded too negative. To be constructive in my critisism, I felt it was hard to follow some times when all hosts were talking at the same time, all while they were laughing too. But absolutely an interesting hear. As for the farting sound, it was sometime in start, before the 3rd or 4th minute I think. I don't have the file here now, I've got myself a brand new Eee PC() since then, so no downloaded file to check with I',m afraid.

Glad you did enjoy the show. Apology appreciated and accepted.

When there is hosts talking at the same time, it is often intentional for whatever reason(s) -- typically most of that occurring during the actual recording can and is corrected during post-production.

But absolutely an interesting hear.

If you download the episode again and listen to its first few minutes, see if you come across the sound in question once more, make note of its minute and second mark and note it here in follow-up.

yup

Although "Gilrs playing Civ" was quite interesting - it was just way too long. Should be in two parts imho. I just couldn't keep my attention into it for that long.
(Also as English not my first language it requires a little more attention - and I work in a international environment where English is used daily)

I wonder what fate Maki and Annalee have planned for you now...

You needn't listen to it all in one session. Listen to e.g. half at one point, and half at another. Given its purpose (a Christmas Special) and for better continuity, it was released in one part.

Ah. (English is my only language.)
