The DoFuss Show – Dedicated to Claire (and Miki).

March 5th, 2010 Posted by Alex Beech

Yes, its late, and we missed February completely, but with most of the regular cast having birthdays last month we can be forgiven right? Well maybe not, but we are back again now with added titillating missile silos. I say ‘we’ are back, but really it is me with a brand new cohort in the form of Scoot, a font of gaming knowledge and a welcome partner in podcasting crime.

So here is the twenty-fourth DoFuss Show, and if you can bear with a couple of small technical issues on Scoot’s end you will be treated to an hour an forty minutes of gaming news and discussion. Focusing our attention on online competitive play and games retail for the most part, we also dip in to some Nintendo conference talk and other news.

I suppose we are reaching a point where I may have to concede that a ‘regular’ schedule might never be possible, but I promise to keep trying and may hopefully even manage to get a three-man show going one day. Until I hope you keep listening to, and enjoying, our sporadic content.

    So I have cast a pod for the first time and learned 2 important lessons.

    1) Don’t record podcasts on Ipod Earphones and Rock Band Mic.

    2) Stay calm or you’ll forget to say the cool things you wanted to say.

    You see I had planned to compare multiplayer FPS gaming to team sports. I was going to put to Alex the thought that he would have dismissed it as silly if someone suggested instead of going down to the river every day at 5AM to practice rowing (which he has been known to do) he should do a different sport every day. He appreciates the joy of working day in day out as a team to get the best performance you can. This is the experience team FPS players are enjoying and it’s separate for them from their wider gaming.

    Thank goodness for comments eh!

    I wouldn’t have dismissed the team sports idea as silly Scoot. I would have said however without the physical benefits I probably wouldn’t be willing to wake up at 6am everyday to do it, as I would have to if I wanted to talk to other English speakers.

    Much of my issue with online play comes from my situation, as I said, if I was in the UK and everyday when I got my 360 (or whatever) many of my friends were playing and we could have a rumble in a team match I am sure my tune would change pretty quick.

    Death match is another matter. Don’t think I will sway on that one. Never did like single sculling, give me and 8 or a 4 any day.

    Were you just having a laugh or did you not know about the real game “Touch the Dead”?

    I resent the implication that I was the hungover one when you admit you woke up at 5PM. Anytime you’re up for recording, I am too!

    Hungover was in jest. Really I am just worried about having more than two people until I can work out a better recording method. My Skype recorder groups all outside calls as a single channel, leaving everyone who isn’t me together. Editing is already a hassle without that. We shall see what we can find for a bigger group podcast soon.

    I was hoping I could talk Darren and Scoot in to getting together and Garageband at their end, then we could have 3 channel sound. Then there’s Blokey…

    O boy.

    I’m all for challenging but that podcast was pushing the utmost limits of endurance

    You just miss Darren! I do too though, and he should be in for the next one.

    I miss Frakesy!

    Seriously, can’t fault the effort, top marks there – but 1 hour 40 with sound difficulties…? it’s almost enough to ask for a refund.
