My first game episode was episode 2 about Combat. It came out March 3, 2013. I discovered later that I screwed up the sound (I had Audacity experience before doing the podcast, but not with a microphone). Since it's the 4th anniversary of that show (or it was, THANKS AUDACITY), I decided to clean it up the best I could and re-release it as a treat. If you think tortorous first podcasts are a treat. Anyway, thank you for four wonderful years (with many to come) and for my Facebook page reaching 1000 likes. I'm glad you all are here, and I thank you for listening.

So cool that so many of the things you dreamed of early on have come true - Coffee Table book of 2600 art, hand-held with SD card, the ability to play multi-player Combat (Steam, PS4, etc). Now all I have to do is find a copy of Scsicide to send in a audio review for the cast...
ReplyDeleteLove the show, listen to it daily in the car.
Wow -- you re-recorded the whole thing, and had Strudders send in a new submission. That's a special commemmoration indeed! Thanks for the extra effort. That's so cool. ("Remaster"...you funny guy! I wonder who's going to get the joke.)
