Hello brave listeners.

So I should know better than to promise a new show in a week... In truth, Steve, Kyle Orland and I didn't get around to recording our pre-show until tonight (Monday, February 27th.) We had planned on conferencing this weekend, but schedules didn't work out for us. So... I now have all the raw content I need for Episode 6. I just need to get to editing it down to a listenable form.

A heads up on audio quality, or lack thereof: we ended up having to use the conference call system to get Steve, Kyle and I in on a recordable call. Steve and Kyle were on cell phones, so from time to time, you will hear that signature buzzing sound of a cellphone signal under the audio capture, of the type you might hear through your car's radio when your cellphone is sitting on your car dashboard as an incoming call is coming through. Kind of scary when you think about it. That sound is caused by a point microwave source beaming a signal to some distant tower. That powerful signal is coming from that cellphone that you stick up to your head... This is why I own an earpiece.

Hello brave listeners (as Steve would say). Just a quick note to inform you that Episodes 5 and 6 are on their way. Sorry for the delay, but my day job has gotten in the way of the podcast.

Have no fear: some excellent programming is coming your way soon. Kyle Orland moderated a spirited panel on Games Journalism with Vic Lucas of G4TV's Electric Playground, Sam Kennedy of 1up.com, Julianne Greer of The Escapist, Matt Williamson of The Gamer's Quarter, and Dan Morris of PC Gamer.

Part One of that panel, along with opening commentary from myself and Steve should be up by this weekend. Part Two, with guest commentary from Kyle, along with me and Steve should be up very soon after.

Apologies for the delay, and thanks for your patience. Stay tuned.
