Project Umbrella Podcast Thread

LOL, all meant with no dodgy connations. We need you on the podcast Sindra!  We need a female voice. As Chimera put it - bit of a sausage fest atm.

No offense taken. Like I said, I'm flattered.

And honestly, I'd be a bit overwhelmed by all the European accents abound.

And it's a crying shame.

*cough*

Well I'm sure you are now desperate to star in a podcast which features five men who let's face it all sound like bone fide sex pests. 

Nah, no more so than most guys.

Sindra is probably used to it by now.  It seems like no matter how many girl gamers there are out there, if one appears on an online forum, all of the guys inevitably start crowding around her like she's a mythical creature spoken of only in legends and fairy tales.

Granted, my comment above about her posterior probably renders this observation moot, but that was made in jest (in case it wasn't obvious).

Of course, that just makes it sound like I'm trying desperately not to come off as the kind of creeper I described above.

Or I could simply be overanalyzing things.

Or you need to simmer down and stop acting like I haven't been on the internet for 10 years,

My first reaction upon hearing my name in the podcast? "Holy crap, they mentioned me in the podcast! Wait...what was that about that skank Rachael and my ass?"

I was... joking?

 I was too.

Evidentally I need to put smilies at the end of all sentences to make sure they aren't taken too seriously.

Me:

Speak for yourself Bruce....I myself am a gentlemen  ~ this thread has got a little odd.  

MP3s for Dead Aim please....especially from staff members that will not be featuring on Episode #4. 

I wish to be able to give one but I haven't and will never play Dead Aim. (No PS2)

Just started listening folks, been waiting for this one.

Aside from your good self of course, George.

Haha the Operation Raccoon City chats were a lot more subdued than I thought they were going to be, but a good fair critique of the game.

I got 0/5 on the quiz this week. Good work as usual, keep it up!

All the controversy you caused, Nick.

And I'll start retiring you people if you start using emoticons as punctuation. Chimera's orders.

I was joking, partner. Again.

You see how confusing you all make this? My lord, boys.....

I've been wondering why emoticons have been removed from my posts in the past... >.>

It seems to be quite an ass. Could you post a picture?

Spencer, I'm going to get you in a future podcast for the strange beast comment... Overall, well done. Good work guys.

I know you were joking. I was also joking, Sindra. I just didn't use emoticons, because that would have made my joke hyprocritcal.

Wait. Why is Sindra's ass and our lack of sarcasm detection on this forum the hottest topic from the podcast...? I haven't listened to it yet. Surely there was something more important there?

This is all Neptune's fault with his highly controversial introduction....there is simply no need to mention the posterior of any staff member, unless they have given prior permisison via pm. 

Nick I just sent you a pm. 

Apparently, my ass brings unity to the forums.

A little disheartening to hear RE:ORC ripped into as mercilessly as it was in the last episode, but not really surprising. I can accept that my opinion of the game is in the minority. Although I will agree that the moment I saw the Nemesis wielding a gatling gun, my heart just sort of fell through the floor. I still find the game fun as long as I'm not having to deal with idiotic teammate AIs that insist on running away from me and each other when one or more of them needs to be healed with a First Aid Spray. Which is why I'm still only on Chapter 4. It's sort of a love-hate relationship.

At any rate, I'd like to chime in on Dead Aim. A couple of questions: When do you need an MP3 by? Also, what kind of commentary are you looking for? Something like our own brief, personal reviews of the title?

We did try to make a conscious effort not to be totally negative but it was hard to find elements of the game that were good to be fair. We will revisit it in a future episode once all the Spec Ops DLC becomes available.

Send an MP3 to any one of the cast with your thoughts on Dead Aim, whether they be plot questions or your own personal opinion on the game. Also feel free to add your thoughts on the Biohazard 6 captivate trailer. I believe we record on Sat 21st April so any time before then really.

Correct Bats - now we can have a long chat too about the Resi 6 trailer.  Should generate some heated discussion!

So we can comment on the trailer as well? Guess I can do a recording if you guys want.

Good news! Episode 4 of the Project Umbrella podcast is now avilable to download from the site! http://projectumbrella.net/podcast/Episode%204.mp3 It's a great download with special guest, Stars_Tyrant (aka Ty aka Sean).

The reactions to my question were excellent. Just what I wanted.

For anyone that read the script that's online, the date is on the first page. =P

Just finished it. Well done, gentlemen.

Yeah, I do prefer playing Dead Aim with the GC2; I trust my own aiming abilities more than I do the twitchiness of my thumbs, heh. However, you guys have hit the one problem with it right on the head: you can't really circle-strafe with the GC2. Instead, you just have to kinda strafe, stop in place to rotate, and strafe again. With practice, you can do it quickly enough to be effective, but I imagine that in particular would be much easier to pull off with a traditional controller.

The quiz was quite good this time around; I managed to rake in 1.5 points by correctly guessing October but being two days off (brilliant question, Vito) and getting obsidian correct. I'd incorrectly guessed "topaz" instead of "amber", and although I remembered the bar was named after some character it had no business being named after, I couldn't recall exactly who it was. I guessed Marvin. Eh, whatever, same level of canonicity.

Also, thanks very much for letting me chip in. It was cool to hear your responses. Looking forward to the next episode!
