NCE podcast – subscribe now!
Posted by Rockjaw in Links of Others, MMO-related, Pimpin' on April 17th, 2008
Hey, as I said I’d mention it – you can now subscribe to (deep breath) The Official NCsoft Europe Podcast. Just click here and Feedburner will do the rest.
Even if you’ve already listened to the first two episodes do me a favour and subscribe anyway – we can keep track of subscriber numbers that way. And of course you get the latest episodes conveniently delivered to you, in digital format, like a special delivery by a postman of the future.
Also, while I have you here: how cool was this? (No, I don’t do birthday parties. Except in person. And then I dress like a clown. And charge by the second.)
Podcast Episode 2 – Attack of the Podcast
Posted by Rockjaw in MMO-related, Pimpin' on April 16th, 2008
I’m not here! I’m in a lovely hotel in Portland, Oregon, with free wifi. (Hotels of the World: wifi should always be free. It’s like hot and cold water now, people.)
But, if I was here, I’d want you to know that the second official podcast wot I did (with help, of course, from my guest Melissa ‘War Witch’ Bianco and the indispensable editing of Chris ‘Aero’ Siddall) is now available to listen to online, download, or even read. Whatever you like.
Also: it’ll be on iTunes soon. I promise.
By the way – here’s a little secret. We had so much material for Episode 2 that we’re jamming it into (effectively) an Episode 2.5, which will be out Soon. TM. I’ll let you know when.
Comments welcome as always!
The Cape covers COH in-game ads
Posted by Rockjaw in Links of Others, Press on April 6th, 2008
Want to know about the in-game advertising that’s going into COH/COV? The internet to the rescue once again….
I didn’t listen to it live – probably because it went out in the middle of our night – but if you missed it too, The Cape Radio have a downloadable version of the interview they did with Brian Clayton (General Manager of NC NorCal), Matt ‘Positron’ Miller (Lead Designer) and Lighthouse (Community Relations Manager), where they talk primarily about in-game advertising.
Haven’t listened to it myself yet either, but if this Massively article is anything to go by, it’s all good stuff.
Tick-tock Thursday
Today was the kind of day where I just seemed to get distracted every other moment. Tick, tock, tick, tock – like a metronome….
- Start the day in the unofficial second office with coffee, and a good ol’ fashioned brainstorm. Haven’t done one of those in a while….
- We’re talking Christmas party. Yes, this is part of what we do. Yes, we’re talking about it in April. IT WILL BE THAT BIG. Maybe. Possibly. Come work here and find out!
- Satisfied that we have a corker of an idea, we come back to the office to find that apparently, someone has sent me a brick through the post. “Perhaps it’s a note… wrapped around a brick… sent in the post. It’s the genteel way of making a very serious point,” I wonder aloud.
- Actually it turns out it’s a stack of fliers for the UK Games Expo, which we’re exhibiting at, and which we’ve said we’ll pass around at other shows. Unfortunately they didn’t arrive for the MiniCon, so now I just have to tell you; we’ll be at the UK Games Expo. It will be excellent.
- As I sit down, I notice that people keep disappearing into the meeting room near me and coming out looking happy. Then remember: it’s massage day! And I have a half-hour slot booked at 11:45! Woooo!
- Crack on with the artist bios spread for the sketchbook, which still needs to be fully edited and is still missing a few bios and pics. Andrew’s provided a couple overnight, but there are still holes, and our designer is needing to get the page laid out…
- Work on that until – yay! Massage time! In case you’re wondering, a local company sends a masseuse around to our offices every couple of weeks. The company subsidises it, so you get a cheap massage if you want one. Boy, did I.
…. Imagine half an hour of blissful massage here, accompanied by strange techno-chanting music….
Tabula Cast Episode 16
Posted by Rockjaw in Links of Others, MMO-related, Pimpin' on March 26th, 2008
Just listening to Shawn and John in Tabula Cast Episode 16, which went live today. John gives a really good rundown on the MiniCon and his experience of it – I’m very glad he managed to attend, but still kicking myself that I didn’t get to chat to him. It’s worth downloading just for that if you missed the event.
I think I’ve listened to three or four episodes of Tabula Cast today, and I’m really starting to like it. Shawn (who I believe used to produce Guildcast, a Guild Wars podcast; he’s obviously as good at naming things as we are) has a good, easy rapport with John, and the fact that one is distinctly English and one is American really helps the flow of the audio.
Ultimately we want to have a co-host on the NCE podcast, we’ve just got to figure out if it’ll extend things unnecessarily; we also want to keep our podcasts until 30 minutes, so… we’ll see.
Anyway, go listen, you’ll enjoy I think.
