InDis - Ep 023 - This Episode is Preowned

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Good Monday listeners!

Lots of stuff. Distractions this week. Pretty light week for us, but we talk about some stuff… including some talk about how successful last week’s Warhawk Wednesday was for us.

Then Geoff has some news for us. Some interesting stuff this week.

After the intermission we talk about the Preowned gaming market. Interesting discussion here. Hope you enjoy!

Before new releases, Geoff blows the surprise of the new QotW, but we do our best keep things on track. New releases … with a trend. Then… THE LONGEST EMAIL SEGMENT EVER. Geoff got some “hatemail” and he gets his chance to respond.

Follow that up with the new Question of the Week and you’ve got yourself an episode of InDis.

InDis - Ep 022 - MicroEpisode… or not

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Jason’s lucky Episode.

First note: *jumps out of the 3rd person for a sec* Any issues with the audio for this week are solely MY fault. We use 3 separate tracks usually. My track, is recorded in stereo and on one track it’s just me and the other is Jason and Geoff so we could use it as 1) a guide and 2) a back up. Well, I got a new computer and got all my stuff downloaded. Then I forgot to change the options since I had just downloaded the program and my track ended up being all 3 of us in Mono on 1 track. So Jason was forced to work with just that audio. Sorry guys. *Back in the 3rd person*

The Canadian is back and he tells us what his vacation was all aboot! Some entertaining stories there.

So with all three of us on the show again… things are back to “normal.” Distractions for the week. Geoff talks a bit about Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

Then on to News. Some interesting stuff this week. Then we take a break with a brand new “commercial” made by the very talented Jason “unastrike” Oestreicher! Then we get into the feature. Microtransactions. Quite a bit of discussion on this one.

Follow that up with new releases, listener email and the new Question of the Week and you’ve got yourself an episode of Interactive Distractions… the twenty-second one actually.

InDis - Ep 021 - We Miss Geoff

Monday, April 14th, 2008

Episode two and a one!

We’re Canadian-less this week. Geoff’s out on vacation. But hopefully he’ll come back to us safely for next week.

So Jason and Chris take on this episode on their own. We have distractions. Jason and Chris reminisce about this past week’s Warhawk Wednesday. They also both got their Phantasy Star Collection so expect to hear about that a bit. Quite a bit of news that we talk about - and Chris doesn’t do too bad a job in Geoff’s absence.

After the break, we find ourselves without a feature. Luckily, we’ve got some good emails and voicemails to save us… because otherwise… we may not have Episode 021!

InDis - Ep 020 - Chicks in Gaming Vol 1

Monday, April 7th, 2008

Hey look at that. We made it to Episode 20! And we have a special guest!

Unfortunatly, we have no Jason. He was sick again with some flu like symptoms, but he’s doing ok and should be back for the next show.

As usual, we have distractions. We talk a bit more about Crisis Core and LostOdyssey. For some reason, Chris started playing Conan… wait … what? Yes, Conan. Also, more year-and-a-half-old FFXII talk for you guys as Chris’ latest endeavor as actually gotten Geoff back into the game as well.

News as usual. Then it’s on to the feature. Leading ladies… hellz yeah! Nariko is hot… oh sorry. We got some great emails from our kick ass listeners as well as a voicemail.

We finish off the week with New releases this week as we didn’t have any non-feature based emails and without Jason around, we didn’t get to talk about what we wanted to do next week, so keep your eyes pealed on this post and we’ll update as soon as we have something.
