Episode Notes:

Super Special Guest is Wil Harris from Bit-tech.net. We thank him for his time

We cracked the recording quality this week and managed to get DVD quality 48KHz/16bit, but had to downsample to 44.1KHz/16bit for podpress in order to be compatible. However, this is still twice as good as our normal noise output and I saved the mp3 in 80KHz over 64KHz to give you that extra feeling of fuzzy fidelity when listening to the music.

It’s apparent I have to learn when to shut up. And to eat less sugar.

I’ve got to say, I’m finding it hard to find things to write. We’ve got a pretty straight cut, well conversed episode where everyone was really on the ball. I have this warm, fuzzy feeling inside.

In case you didn’t get the joke Wil made: Pining for the Fjords = Monty Python, The Dead Parrot Sketch.

Overall cynicism level: Extreme Off the chart.

I don’t even know what the hell happened with little Jimmy and his swearing problem, or, uh.. other problems. It’s full of confusion and everyone is taking everything the wrong way. Congratulations to everyone for really reaffirming the explicit tag we’ve attained. Maybe we should replace our logo with a parental guidance one?

I couldn’t find any free “funeral” or “death” music to go in where I said I’d put some. I spent hours trying to find some decent video game music and eventually stumbled on two out of a load I downloaded and I can’t remember where I got them from to give credit! All I know is that the Intro is called Colossus and the Ending is a fan-mix from The Last Ninja game, “Central Park” level. I went through Lemmings, Final Fantasy (which is all still being sold so that’s definitely out), Ridge Racer (again, on sale) and Zelda II to name a few.

w00t to another complete episode!  I just wanted to stress that someone should beat the  **** out of little Jimmy for whingeing to iTunes and giving us an “Explicit” rating.  You go to hell, little Jimmy, you go to hell and you die.
Some day, I’d love to release some of the outtakes of this episode, as they were beyond the very concept of entertaining…
