I have one potential suggestion. How about keeping the podcast news only to one topic in the forum? It's already quite confusing to have 3 topics simultaneously.

I was thinking the same thing. I 'll try to stick to using this thread from now on.

Hey, I went ahead and merged all the topics. Mark_MSX you can just edit the first post when a new episode is posted and then bump the thread.

Hope this helps,

Thank you for posting that, I was going to ask if anyone knew how to get that. Seems to work in AntennaPod.

Hi Frentic, I really appreciate the help! I'm glad to get everything merged into one place.

Again, I really appreciate all the help you guys are giving me! I was a little lost on the whole RSS thing, so thank you so much for getting this link put together. I'll put it in the main post and the discord thread.

Yeah we cover just arcade games, and a quite a few shmups. We did Strikers 1945iii recently, but it's mostly older stuff.

! nice work for the soundcloud; I've been meaning to record my extra pod for the month soon, on the list of topics was to mention your pod, so I'll probably direct any listeners in that direction lol.

Also, @SenseiPong: what is your RSS feed, so that I can check out your podcast as well?
Oh boy... yeah. It's a bit embarrassing to know somebody's actually listening or is going to listen. Most of my closest circle doesn't really listen to podcasts or play shmups. I know I got a very small following on my last pod (which wasn't shmup focused), but I'm really bad at getting interaction going. That's supposed to change with this one. I've got a discord set up, but haven't put up the invite links just yet. Eitherway--don't expect the same level of quality. Personally that first episode was really shakey :wink:

Once I get the perpetual ball rolling, I may post an update. We shall see.

The 3nd episode of the show: Lightning Strikes! A Conversation with the Fabled Shmup Master, is complete!


Image


Here is the link to the soundcloud:

https://soundcloud.com/user-306325657

The podcast's RSS feed has been submitted to Itunes, and should be available on stuff like podcast republic soon.

On today's episode, I got the opportunity to speak with Aggro Sky, also known from his youtube channel SHMUP Master. We discussed the behind the scenes aspects of his youtube channel, as well as the experience of playing for the 1cc.

Link to the SHMUP Master channel:

Link to his website, Gaming Rebellion:

https://www.gamingrebellion.com/

P.S. As promised, I put in a ton of work to improve the audio quality of the recording. :-)

P.P.S. The original image I used for the basis of the cover art is by Tarrow100, a japanese artist that I asked permission to use the image from around two years ago. I then redesigned the color and added the other stuff. Here's the link to the original image, in case you were curious and wanted to compare them. https://www.deviantart.com/art/AXELAY-T ... -510972784

It was great to be on the cast! Curious how it turned out as I rambled quite a bit. But based on your first two episodes I'm sure you chopped it down to a manageable level. Looking forward to listening to it tomorrow! As well as every episode after that :wink:

Re: Podcast Episode 4 Finished: The Eaglet has Landed!

Post by Mark_MSX »

The 4th episode of the show: The Eaglet has Landed! A Discussion about High Level Play, is complete!


Image


Here is the link to the soundcloud:

https://soundcloud.com/user-306325657

The podcast's RSS feed is now on itunes and stuff like Podcast Republic

This week's episode is a unique one because it is a follow up interview. Eaglet, today's guest, was actually the 2nd person I ever interviewed for the podcast. However, during that first interview, I was not aware of his achievements in Battle Garegga, and did not learn about them till halfway through the interview. So, once the first interview was finished, I decided that I was going to do my homework and ask Eaglet back for an encore performance, which he kindly agreed to do.

I think this episode turned out really well and I highly encourage everyone out there to give it a listen. Also, the awesome cover of Fly to the Leaden Sky featured in the episode was done by Eaglet himself.

Here is the link to the music's youtube video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofRCC4Smy0I

Here is a link to a really useful Battle Garegga Tutorial by Eaglet and Plasmo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz1kXyXOz_4&t=11901s

P.S. Please check out the shmup demonstrations at Stunfest this year! Stunfest is May 18th - 20th.

P.P.S. The original image I used for the basis of the cover art is by Tarrow100, a japanese artist that I asked permission to use the image from around two years ago. I then redesigned the color and added the other stuff.

Great episode! That hour flew by really quickly, I wish the ep was longer haha. The conversations flowed really nicely and you covered a lot of interesting topics. It’s always fun to hear about the beginnings as well and I think everyone can relate to it, regardless of skill level. Always interesting to hear from people’s own perspective about their experiences and mindset with regards to pushing their score in a game. Hoping to hear more of that on the show in the future! Looking forward to when you have Eaglet back after Stunfest! Stunfest is going to be great, I’m personally really looking forward to meeting everyone there since it’s my first time going. It’ll be awesome to watch the Greg duel on stage!

Hi Pestro,

I am glad to hear you enjoyed the episode :-) Time flew by for me doing the interview as well. That's awesome you are going to Stunfest! If you are up for it, you can come on the podcast and talk about your experience there when you get back.
