RJ Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Yeah they're hometown (MN) boys & there's nothing wrong with their podcast but for some unknown reason I just cant stick with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1500 Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 So you heard the news that Bonnie Tyler performed "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on a cruise ship during the eclipse. The guy who came up with the idea was a podcaster. Kaneda, of Kaneda's Pinball Podcast. His day job made it possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Bad news: Rob O'Hara is retiring from podcasting. Aww. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 He needs to, just so he doesn't drive himself mad. Poor guy is gonna burn himself out. Didn't he just start grad school, too? He needs a break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Bad news: Rob O'Hara is retiring from podcasting. Aww. Really? When/where did he announce this? He was probably my favorite podcaster in the "retro" space, so for me this is a major bummer. But lives get busy, and I guess shows come and shows go. At least there are still lots of others continuing to churn out high quality content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulBlazer Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Really? When/where did he announce this? He was probably my favorite podcaster in the "retro" space, so for me this is a major bummer. But lives get busy, and I guess shows come and shows go. At least there are still lots of others continuing to churn out high quality content. It hasn't gone public yet. We got notified via e-mail a few days ago if your a Patreon sponsor. He's BEEN in grad school for a year ago and the need to finish it is one reason he's taking a break. And I'm not calling it 'retiring' and he's not either -- just taking a leave of absence. There's one more episode of YDKF planned to come out soon.

Dauber Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I haven't heard any of his non-No Quarter podcasts. Glad that it seems he's only going on hiatus. I've been meaning to listen to some of his other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that it seems he's only going on hiatus. I've been meaning to listen to some of his other stuff. All of his podcasts are awesome. At one time he was doing four: You Don't Know Flak: The 'main' one, with a bunch of topics ranging from tech to non tech Sprite Castle: C-64 Game by Game podcast Cactus Flak: A game by game summary and breakdown of arcade games he owned at one time Multipule Sadness: Covering bad movies 'so bad their good' And then there were other podcasts that he would guest on quite a lot. Over the last year due to grad school he started to cut way back, so I'm not totally shocked he's taking a leave of absence, just hope he comes back at one point.

ferghead Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Apparently, there is something that makes me cringe more than the Retronauts talking about 2600 games. And that is the Retronauts advertising gambling sites. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playermissile Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Won't offset the loss of Rob O'Hara's podcasts, but Player/Missile will be returning this month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nateo Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm having a podcast of my own coming out by Wednesday. It's called "The Memory Machine" and tackles all aged pop culture, but our first topic is pre-crash video games. I'll post a link here when it comes out, but if any of you guys have wanna listen and give some feedback, I'd really appteciate it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Good show. Hosts speak intelligibly. I think this demonstrates the "podcast quality" bar has been raised & listeners don't care for just any junk pumped into their listening-holes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one thing I can't stand in a podcast, is hosts coming in unprepared. Not that it has to be all written out, but just have a rough outline with some important bullet points you want to hit in conversation.

S1500 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I enjoyed the episode. The one host was right: 90 minutes is optimal for a 'cast episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Say, Nate, is that going to be available on iTunes?? I'd love to hear it but during the day I don't really have a good way to stream. (I use my trusty iPod Classic.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1500 Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 The Retro Junkies are back.. Going to listen to it later today, featuring an episode on arcade memories. Our own chrisbd is shown on the Portland Retrogaming Expo speakers page: http://www.retrogamingexpo.com/speakers.php Wow there's a lot of speakers that are going to be there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Meta: A friend got kicked out of where she was staying, and she's staying here with me + her dog. What's so meta about this? Her 160 gig iPod she almost never uses. I want it. It's a 160 gigger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 The hard drive on my 160 gig iPod died earlier this year after eight years of service. (First time a hard drive ever died on me, believe it or not.) OWC sells a little thingy that hacks the iPod so that you can replace it with an SD. I have a 200 gig microSD in it now. It does the job, but it's very sensitive: one drop and the springy mechanism releases the card and you have to reseat it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a neat little community that hacks the storage for ipods that I discovered when my 160 gig died. It was neat to see the SD options(dual even). But how did you get yours open?

Dauber Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thick guitar picks and thin flathead screwdriver. Not fun, and the result was not pretty. I used the guide on ifixit.com. Metal casing bent all to hell. No longer waterproof as a result, so I wrapped electrical tape around the edges where there was any kind of possible exposure to moisture. It looks ugly, but it works. (And its ugliness is probably a good theft deterrent!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
