Perhaps another podcast has arrived? Retro Game Audio https://m.soundcloud.com/retrogameaudio Haven't listened to yet.

...and so far submitting a podcast on Google has failed. 3 tags are missing. I don't like Podomatic.

Looks like you can now submit your podcast to Google Play, but I can't browse any yet. It's that new... https://play.google.com/music/podcasts/portal/

I copied some Vic 20 games to my sd card, so I fired up the Vic 20 vice emulator. I'll just point to the roms(cartridges) folder, right? wrong. It wants me to type in a full path. That's doing things the hard way.

Another podcast has entered the ring! Retro Critical https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/critical-strike-podcast/id1099514037 2 episodes, yep they be long. rating pending

Another pinball podcast has entered the ring! Tilt Thru http://www.podcastgarden.com/podcast/tiltthru Haven't listened yet.

So the rumor is that Google Play(finally) will be starting the podcast section up in 3 days. Let's hope so. Apple's rather locked down where you can't do anything without iTunes.

Say you have a song(1 "clip"), and you want to cut it into 2 segments: first half of the song, second half of the song. Then you can move the halves around with the "move clip around" tool: <->

Yes, Audacity is a fickle one. The interface, even to this day, can be a bit clunky. And nobody ever said "Wow is Audacity blazing fast!" One quick question though. In said app, how do you split/slice an audio clip into two?

I went through every vendor possible that had pre-crash games for sale(which seems to be decreasing as each year goes). May have been snapped up before I saw it. Saturday morning is busy for the vendor tent as everyone wants to find the deals first. I almost jumped on that mini arcade cab that went from $140 on Sat to $100 on Sunday. I already have the parts to make a MAME cab for it.

At Midwest Gaming Classic: 1.A box of Apple // games & utils for $20. This box is overstuffed with disks. And they all work! 2. Looping for CV - $5 3. A PS1/PS2 controller adaptor for use on USB - $10. Still can't find Tron:Solar Sailer.

The only game I was looking for was Tron:Solar Sailer. Couldn't find it. Could find just about any other Inty game though. Even an Inty Masters of the Universe for $5.

That's totally normal post-convention. One does so much swimming in nostalgia for a weekend, the body needs to rest to restore balance. Prior to MGC, I barely had any time or incentive to play video games,etc, so this made up for it. But for the rest of the week, I'm going to focus on the gym & outside. 70 degrees Wednesday, so I can work on projects in the garage.

A new podcast has arrived! Talk Retro https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/talk-retro-retro-magazines/id1039440143?mt=2 A podcast from Retro magazine(?).

Of course, the 15 minute rant I recorded in Audacity was eaten the minute I close & re-open the project. Gone. Note to self: export to WAV before closing it out. I almost never drink either, but since I wasn't driving & had a hotel room, I figure turn off the safety. And there I was, quite a few drinks, at a table with Bob from Retronauts & several others, having an intelligent discussion on various video game topics & trips to Japan.

That was quite a bit of fun. I got to geek out for a whole weekend, and be reminded I'm nowhere near the only person who's into retro gaming. Not even close. Met plenty of familiar faces whom prior I only talked to on the Interwebs. Met the Pie Factory, met 2 of the Retronauts & all my local peeps.

I now know how to podcast correctly. How? Be completely drunk ahead of time. No more social anxiety retakes, or worrying about show notes. Just a stream of drunk consciousness. Boom, 14 minutes recorded right there!

Spotted at Midwest Gaming Classic

We got along great and Bob and I talked about the apple 2 and visits to Japan.

At mgc, drunk. Met Jeremy parish and Bob mackie(had a long talk with him) at the bar. Recognized their voices.

It's sad I recognized "Hooked on a Feeling" in the background.
