Pocket Moon Podcast Episode 22

[BasketSnake]

I will ALLOW for two minutes of my time to say it was great as usual. Now back to Dawnguard.

[Trindall]

Thanks for the feedback Trindall! Great stuff as always, even if you didn't like my infomercial ;-)

I'm not upset by the app discussion part in the podcast. It seems like an ideal place to discuss it after all as it is your app, it is LBP related and you are 50% of the podcast.

I was just pointing that part out as it really did dip into informercial territory after a bit and I had to chuckle a bit.

Fun show guys. Some parts of the episode came off a bit like a speed round to me, where you guys seemed rushed to get out an opinion to get to the next segment. On the plus side it seemed like you were able to get a lot of information in there =) I agree with you guys on Splinter Cell being a big surprise of the E3. But my fear is that it's very easy to look cool for a 5 minute clip. But the tagging's canned animations could get stale after 5+hours. I also agree that sex in games still comes off a bit creepy and tacky.

I have to disagree with Trindall on your app segment. It came off to me as genuine excitement for something that would be useful to LBP players. I look forward to using it once LBP Vita hits the shelves. But I do agree that the two guest system needs a bit of tweaking. Tom(BioRouge) was more like the guy sitting next to the person being interviewed on a talk show. Still, they both were great guests.

Hey, its nice to hear you're heading to my home town. Make sure you hit either Lou Malnati's or Gino's East for some za. I remember a few episodes back you guys talked about the best pizza. Being a total pizza snob it was hard not to cry =(

Keep up the good work

Another excellent podcast!

I had my mom listen to Tom(Taffey) talking about putting pants on a naked manikin. xD

I need to start counting the episodes that mention me in them.

Hey Xenon! Yes, the clock was definitely ticking when we were recording this one, and even still we didn't quite manage to fit it all in - thus a bit of the "creative" editing.

Ah! I've seen Gino's East on the Food Network and man, does that ever look amazing. There will quite literally not be enough hours in the weekend to do all the eating we want to do. We might just have to have 6 or 7 meals on Saturday but only take a bite or two of each. I've always wanted to check out some authentic Chicago grub so I am very excited for this trip.

Keep up the good work

Thanks!

Hahahaha oh dear. Please extend my sincerest apologies to her for that.

I need to start counting the episodes that mention me in them.

I'm pretty sure it's been (nearly?) every one since maybe 7 or 8. There just always seems to be something Cory-related that is worthy to talk about.

Finished it! :-D

...Oh, the 50" cookie is only bigger in diameter, not height, so I think your napkin math is wrong ; )
Secondly, how would you keep sand in your pants for a week, it would just fall out....
Charachter for Psasbr? Does it have to be a sony exlcusive?

Oh, and I didn't say "Dlc is irrelevent" I said costume dlc is irrelevant.

I think that the 50" cookie would have more cookie than the alternative. I you laid all the individual cookies out side by side, row next to row you'd see that where cookies all touched each other there'd be gaps where there'd be no cookie. (I'm assuming circular cookie shapes here.)

The 50" cookie wouldn't have those gaps. Even if you had enough small sized cookies to fill the same circular area as the 50" cookie then the large, single mass cookie should still have more cookie under this same logic.

I'm assuming that now the NDA has fully lifted for LBPVita, you guys are going to have a special section on the next podcast...? I'd like to hear about the new lighting effects specifically. SPARKS!!! we know about the special effects such as dust squalls, rain, snow, clouds and running water already. I really can't understand why those that 'could' put out videos of the beta avoided these new features though. I find that odd. anyway:
Vita Special please (you know it makes sense)

@Valeview: Sorry for misquoting you there. It can be a bit tricky to be podcasting and trying to keep up with the planetarium chat, though I love to take part in both, so sometimes I will read something quickly and then have to wait until I have a chance to talk and then just repeat it the best that I can by memory. In your case it led to a bit of a misquote.

@Trindall and Valeview: Oh, good to see that the cookie discussion is heating up :-) I still like the little cookies option. I agree 100% that I would get more cookie with one big cookie, but chances are that the big cookie would not bake as evenly (my wife reminded me of this point), and also I would probably just end up throwing a lot of it away. What would I do with an over 4 foot cookie :P

@GribbleGrunger: I'm sure you will hear all about the LBP Vita beta soon :-) Thanks for the request for talk about that!

Great job on the Podcast! You guys are naturals...never a dull moment or voids of "extreme" silence. I'm sure it helps when you have interesting guests on also, like kappa & bio.

One question...has anyone made a logo sticker for you in LBP2? If not, do you want one? And if not, can I make one anyway for use in levels I plan to publish...I'd like to "spread the love". I would, of course, submit for your approval before using it. Thanks.

[Valeview]

Oh, charachter for PSASBR: The jarl from Skyrim, or the King from LBP1.

@RickRock_777: It's great to hear that you enjoy the podcast. The quality is all due to Tom. If you could hear the original version of any episode then there would be about a thousand awkward pauses every ten minutes. In fact, I sometimes just say "... awkward" during the podcast if it happens, but Tom does an incredible job chopping the podcast down to a great length and keeping the good stuff.

I haven't spoken to Tom about it, but I'm sure he would agree that we would love a Pocket Moon Podcast logo for in-game. Mnniska has been telling us that we really need to start trying to spread the word in-game about the podcast now that most forums seem to know about us, and a logo would really help. Let us know and we could find a time for one of us to stop by and check it out if you get a chance to make one, and maybe if all of the planets align then we could both stop by :-)


@Valeview: Yeah, the King would make an excellent character!

[BasketSnake]

Spaff and Tom and everyone else at MM, I'm sure you're reading this. Can't you put something up in-game? I'm sure StevenI can do it....

[RickRock_777•]

@amazingflyingpoo, I will use the logo image in your sig. and will work on it this week. I'll upload pic to my lbp.me profile when it's done and let you guys know. Thanks.

[Taffey]

Precisely. There is no way 100 smaller cookies could have the same area as the single larger cookie, therefore I'd have the larger one.

chances are that the big cookie would not bake as evenly (my wife reminded me of this point)

Well that makes the scenario for the larger cookie even more attractive!

dough > cookie

I can only assume that your love of soggy food is surpassed by a desire for your food to actually be cooked.

Yes, this is true. If we ever do a live show it will be very interesting to see how it turns out.

Woot! This would be just about the very best thing ever. Thanks Rick! That would be excellent.
