12 - Wookie Infantry

No specific topic this week. We played Hypothetical Writer for Star Wars: Episode Seven. Talked some TV shows we've been getting into and wrapped up with a loose discussion of the WiiU and video games in general. Basically, just another day at the office.

11 - Wreck The Old Republic, Ralph

Welcome to the Eleventh episode!

This week we discussed the Bioware MMO The Old Republic which goes free to play on November 15. We saw Wreck It Ralph, the new video game animated feature from Disney. And we probably mentioned Hitler at some point.

We also have some new into music courtesy of Josh Woodward. This guy is pretty cool. He's got twelve albums of his music all online for free. FREE! You can listen to them directly on his site and download them and everything. He even has the regular and instrumental versions of his songs. Chris found his site a few days ago and he has a nice message on there donating his music to the creative commons and letting websites and podcast use them with no strings attached. Each week we're going to be plugging another song of his as our into. People who put there stuff out for free without lawyers and all that are pretty awesome and we think he deserves a listen. It also means you won't have to hear the awful old intro.

8 - We Did Our Best

Welcome to our eight episode. Scumbag Chris was a no call/no show and Tyler has a massive head cold.



Download: 8 - We Did Our Best

We talked:

Xcom, The High Crusade by Poul Anderson, Dexter and Homeland,
MISFITS returns September 28! (Check out the first season for free on Hulu)
Civ 2, Hitman, Morrowind, Spore,

Then I talk about my writing in a feeble attempt to get a writing related discussion into this episode,
Allen Steele's The Days Between, found here on asimovs.com
The Seinfeld Method of Productivity.

Then things get kind of dark, cause we do that around here.

Also, Manifold Space by Stephen Baxter.

1 - Gods Of Earth 09/02/12

The very first episode of our Around the Trunk Podcast.

Download:

http://archive.org/download/01-GodsOfEarth09-02-12/01-GodsOfEarth09-02-12.mp3

 Show Notes:

Into 0-3:08

First Topic: 3:08- 30:00

Skyrim and Fallout, a comparison of Worlds.

Second Topic: 30:00 - 51:00

Time Travel. We had a more centralized focus for this topic, but it got away from us. As the wibbly wobbly tends to do. During this topic Chris got interrupted and didn't mute his mic, so the audio gets a little garbled. He will mute his mic in the future or we will skin him alive. We also go on a bit of a historical tangent toward the end. We will be better about that in the future.

Third Topic 51:00- 1:37:00

The Super Power Game

This was a special thing we did for the first episode. It goes pretty long and is the last topic. If you have no interest in it you can turn the podcast off here and not miss anything else.

Powers:

Mike: Flight, Immortality (G), Solar Sustenance

Chris: Time Travel (G), Earth Bending, Muscle Memory

Tyler  Brute Telekinesis, Healing Factor (G), Teleportation

Let us know in the comments which super powered God you think would in the game of world domination and which one you would rather be.

CORRECTION:

Tyler texted me after recording this. Killing kids in games isn't illegal in US law, but in the industry would almost guarantee an Adults Only rating, leading to most carries to ban your games.

First episode, already getting things wrong. Off to a great start.
