Jody says "again ..." too often. heh.

Listened to this last show in my way home from ReplayFX, as mentioned. Good stuff.

Nice to meet you at the show, Nate. And nice showing in the loser tournament. I bombed out in two rounds.

I have to admit, I was hoping you had the roar on tape - but that was still pretty cool, Nate.

Sheesh Nate. Slow down.

The name is awkward. Should have called it "Decades" or something. /armchair podcaster

Sounds like Ben's still taking about Bible Adventures any chance he gets.

Because they disappear right after?

They finally worked out a solid solution on WOZ (just took several tries) -- but The Hobbit has a completely re-done lighting system.

Oi vey.

I don't know whether the end of 198 is a joke or an accident, but either scenario is amusing.

Due to the ridiculous posts you're making on this thread I am embarrassed and ashamed on your behalf is what I was saying. Pardon the brevity, I guess.

PWP epsiode 2 is good stuff. My only comment on the format so far is that I'm not a big fan of the effects on the text that make it hard to read while they play out.

/and I think there's a text error at about 43 minutes where Nate gets Drag Race started, but the text calls it Gear 5

I actually really enjoyed the competitive pinball talk. It's like a window in to the world I've always been curious about, but never hard core enough to dive into. I generally avoid big tournaments for the common reasons (standing in lines, chopping wood on boring points, etc) -- but I still find that part of the hobby interesting.

I actually really like watching the PAPA broadcasts of tournament finals. Seeing how really great players do things is interesting and informative, IMHO. And the chats on the c2c episodes of recent history are just like an extension of that.

I know some BNL superfans who keep up on all the rumors/whatnot - there's no hint of any band changes, so maybe Nate is joining the tour in some non-musician capacity. There are numerous other things they need to run a tour.

If there's an actual scoop. Still entirely possible the whole thing is a joke (not just the instrument of choice).

It's been three weeks now, right?

Putting these two, you know, posts together, you know, I was, um, able to find the, you know, secret podcast and give it a try, and, I mean, you know, it's not so, you know, secret now.

Now I'm even more curious about what the hell is going on.

On the Ocho?

Whatever it is Nates doing, I hope it doesn't involve estimating things. Specifically time.

Got a C&D from ABC regarding the logo yet?

I think you are. There wasn't any ill will to the people with 1 entry that didn't have any idea how the tournament worked -- they were discussion how people like that just shouldn't be figured in to the rankings. All the changes Josh and the IFPA make aren't to try to exclude people, they're to try to make the stats/rankings as real of a measure as possible.

Pretty sure WWOP was what he had.

Hey look. A differen logo.

This is accurate.

I love the mini-documentary about pinball that has Roger at Flip-Out at expo standing behind Josh cursing up a storm while playing and Roger just makes an exasperated face and says something about "yep, that's my son".

from about 10min 30sec to 11min

Great to hear JAY's Pinball Olympics get a mention. Awesome stuff built by an awesome dude.

Josh, you never actually said what the ESPN guy said when you asked what his angle was.

Oh the antici....

Maybe he's not really up to speed on current events due to being neck deep in the new job.

Should probably be Continent2Continent pinball now, eh?

Here Nate. Some counterpoint for you.

That would run waaaay too late.

Whoa. We're gonna get spoiled ... 2 episodes in how much time?
