I think four people is just about the right amount for a podcast like Giant Bomb's because once you get more than that it seems like they just talk over each other. I mean they do that with four but it gets worse the more people they get. It would be nice as a change of pace every once and a while or if he was actually in town though.

They are hard to find in the feature section since the page is full of either the daily Patrick segments or the much older question of the week.

Skype podcasts lack some sort of familiarity, is what I think Jeff said his stance was on it. People talking over each other all the time.

That is actually a really good one that is missed. Putting it in there now, thanks Rirse! e; I'll get the posted mailbags from this page in there too, might as well.

Very interesting Morning scoops today on the topic of advertisement and steam sales heavily boosting overall sales for indie games. The guest had maybe 3 months of salary for the first 6 months, then the christmas sale gave him a year's worth, then Total Biscuit reviewing it gave him another 2-3 years. edit: And later on he tells that Sony is very friendly for indie gamers and it makes big boosts to sales as well, because then they learn it's on PC and get that.

All of the Vinnie-hosted podcasts where Patrick guested were via Skype and the quality was excellent.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Patrick records his own audio track and sends it to them post-recording, and they sync it up during editing. Maybe it's another podcast I'm thinking of, though. I know Video Games Hot Dog used to do (maybe still does) that.

Yeah, the ones where Pat guested via Skype were great, and the GOTY where Alex guests in via Skype (or, I think it was Skype) is good, and all of the Powerbombcasts have been good. e; and yeah, I think recording your side of the audio is the standard practice with those kinds of podcasts. e2; nice to see the skull is back Another Person fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Feb 4, 2014 |

Honestly other then one or two jack offs who are usually wealthy already no one says they have bad experiences with steam sales. It always seems to work in favor of making people gently caress tons of money and it makes perfect sense. Sure some people won't buy things not on sale but they do buy things on sale. poo poo you probably see way more purchases because of those people. Rather then thinking about it they just go oh man 90% off gotta get that. You might be "devaluing" your "artistic masterpiece" but even Leonardo da Vinci had to eat and 99.99999% of indie devs can't just afford to take a sabbatical where they get bitten by a dog for no reason. what I'm saying is that guy is a colossal jackass It reminds me a lot of the piracy argument in that people sometimes thing that every single sale during a steam sale is taking that 75% profit away from the developers when in reality it's more than made up by the increased publicity and sales figures.

That said, I don't think it's that bad and Patrick and Alex make it work just fine on the morning show.
