First Spear #51 Posted February 15, 2015 IIRC the Intellivisionaries said they randomly pick the games, but I think also they are limited by who they can get to interview. But I agree that it's time for the Footballs to get a good treatment... Maybe the month before football season starts? Next up: Learning Fun? Learning Fun??? Again you'll sidestep the category that set the Intellivison apart from other systems of the day sports titles? Baseball(s) is the only episode so far out of the 16 to cover this important part of the Intv catalog. May I humbly suggest that football(s) would be an excellent choice for an upcoming installment. Heck, I'll even get you started... Please ask Keith why the tackled player looks so much like the trucker mudflap girl. Did the programmers have long commutes to work that kept them stuck in traffic behind 18 wheelers? Were truck stops a favorite gathering place for the Blue Sky Rangers? Once you notice the strong resemblance to the mudflap silhouette, all sorts of disturbing images start showing up at the end of plays. Get the kids out of the room! fb 1.png fb 2.png fb 3.png But seriously, I love the podcasts, and this latest on Thunder Castle has me wanting to check out a game I've barely looked at. Thanks for continuing to put out such a fun, quality show. Oh, and please, please consider reviewing the football games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+nurmix #52 Posted February 16, 2015 Or bring on some guests to discuss sports games with? I have something planned along those lines (call it... reinforcements!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I agree that it's time for the Footballs to get a good treatment... Maybe the month before football season starts? To a degree, they are chosen randomly. Rick devised the system we use... sort of picking a title from different release date "buckets", choosing from a different "bucket" each month, if you will. As for interviews... we don't generally pick them based on whether or not we can get an interview. Setting those things up usually occurs once the game has been chosen for a given month. Anyway, you guys make a good point about covering another sports game soon. I'll see what I can do. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intymike #54 Posted February 27, 2015 I'm just listening to ep. 16, just now the Ralph Baer section. R.I.P. Ralph Baer donated a replica of the brown box to the Berlin videogame museum. Just take a look at my avatar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM_Intellivision #55 Posted February 27, 2015 Just finished episode 16 recently - as usual awesome job Paul/Rick/Will. Really enjoyed the interviews very much - keep up great work!! Joe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Reynolds #56 Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks much, JoeM! ep17 is very close to being ready, I'm sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM_Intellivision #57 Posted February 27, 2015 Looking forward to it!! Thanks again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atarifan88 #58 Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks much, JoeM! ep17 is very close to being ready, I'm sure. I'm willing to bet this may be one of the shortest episodes you guys are going to do, not that it's a bad thing. Personally, I will be suprised if ep17 breaks the 3 hour mark. The good news is Learning Fun will be out of the way! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Reynolds #59 Posted February 27, 2015 Only Paul knows for sure at this point! I can say that the recording session was just as long as usual. I guess I can talk on and on about just about any Intellivision topic! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Spear #60 Posted February 27, 2015 There are less than 30 hours left in February. Intellihoes need their fix of the next episode! Help us! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Reynolds #61 Posted February 27, 2015 Hopefully Paul isn't looking here because he's getting that done! I'm also on the hook for post-processing an episode of The Greatest American Hero Podcast tonight, hoping to get it finished before tomorrow's end-of-month deadline...

First Spear #62 Posted February 27, 2015 I'm going to subscribe to that one and check it out, just because. Hopefully Paul isn't looking here because he's getting that done!

+nurmix #63 Posted February 28, 2015 Close. About 85% done. Need to put the last couple segments together, the ending, and I'm waiting on one more contribution from "George", which I am told I'll have tomorrow morning. If not, I'll release without it. The short month and a general lack of free time this month has been a problem... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stop your complaining and get back to work! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
