  1. For iTunes the 5 stars and a review are very helpful. Im currently trying to get us on the iTunes popular listing.. its going to take some work.. and the starts and reviews help. With that being said, the more places we can have links to our content and site that are "monitored" the better, like blogs and forums and whatnot (fucking alexia score). We have a lot of changes planned and the more support we can get, the more feedback, and more importantly the more people we can get to subscribe, download, like, favorite, and share all of our content the more recognition we can get. The amount of time we dedicate to the show is immense. I love doing the show and want SO much for the show to become something bigger and better. We have planned out a massive amount of changes for the show and a fucking fuck ton of new content. Please let us know what you like and what you dont. What you think is great and what could be improved. While we make this show for ourselves, to stay sane, we also make for everyone to enjoy. With all of that said please subscribe, rate, review, like, share, and in general pimp us out to anyone who will listen to us. -Stay Surly-
  2. I am way behind on this. I got the first 5, loved them, missed 6 I believe and have been buying them since. I wont read past the point where I missed one, so I just keep getting them. I have loved what I read so far.
  3. I love Spotify. I use it mainly at work. Its made even better when I use Blockify Lite, that automatically blocks the ad's that dome ever 3 songs or so. I think my name on there is "Tr O Uble"
  4. We have only used a few tracks that were not free. In general i check for indie crap that sounds ok, or is so old its out of copyright. If we were to start getting paid for what we do then it would be a different story. We have contacted some artists and they have no problem with letting us play their songs, but others (that shall not be named) were total fuck bags and we were never allowed to even use clips of their music to promote them. For the shock mounts we are using Nady SSM-3 shock mounts. They are not designed for the AT2020 but it does fit, very tightly. Thats right, I like it nice and tight. lol. I went with the AT2020 based on a review a friend gave me, he said for the price that they have a great sound. he was right, I went looking for mic reviews for weeks trying to decide on what to get for the price we were willing to spend. I had a few other options, but everyone said that the AT202 will sound better and last longer for the price.
  5. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Going to take me a bit to get the hang of the place. For the show, we did make a big(ish) investment in new equipment. When we first started out we used whatever recording we had on hand. As more people started to listen, thank you BTW, we knew we would need to upgrade. I spent a good month or two trying to figure out what to get.. and waiting for my paycheck to have a little wiggle room. What I decided on is much closer to a "pro" setup. We both use a generic mic stand with a spider shock mount, to help remove vibration, and hold onto our Audio Technica AT2020s. They both go into Peavey PV6 USB mixer. From there I have the output go into my field recorder for monitoring and also into my laptop for keeping track with Audacity. I know I don't need to record with Audacity, but I like to keep an eye on how the wav file looks and also for writing down times for later editing. i have everything mostly worked out, so we can get set up and recording very quickly. The editing takes some time, but most of that is finding songs to use, editing them and also encoding everything. Oh, I almost forgot, we both use pop-filters to get rid of some annoying mouth sounds. Hope you enjoy a little insight into how we run our show. Cheers.

    Halo 4

    Its probably just my inner fanboy, but I love the game. Its got a really good story that does set up a new trilogy of games, and the multiplayer is spot on. I did not know that some of the artist came from Metroid Prime, but looking at it I can see it a bit.

    Halo 4

    The time has come for everyone to strap on their Mjolnir armor and kills some Covenant ass. I was able to pick up the last copy of Halo 4 Collectors edition at my Frys. While I have not been able to play as much as Id like, i have been putting in quite a few hours into Halo 4. The main story I completed in about 7 hours. This is on par with the previous games play time. Most players are going to be playing the multiplayer, and that's where the majority of gameplay/time will come in. I think the coolest new feature is Spartan Ops, additional story added episodically. Five levels each week for 10 weeks. Also, for the first time there has been story added to why so many War Games (multiplayer games) have been played. We as a player are a Spartan, in holographic simulations for training. I think that's really cool. So, if anyone wants to play, hit me up! last note, not sure how I feel about the music, sometimes it feels as epic as the past, but its a departure..
  8. Episode 21 has been posted here. I hope everyone digs it. I think its great, but hey, its my show too. Its been great to hear the feedback from everyone (second hand). So I decided to come join in and see what all the fuss is about. Great stuff everyone has going on here. Im probably gonna lurk some. Oh, by the way, Im Tony, the other host. Cheers.
