NeowinCast: Gamers Podcast


Recommended Posts

Neowin.net presents NeowinCast: Gamers, a new series of Podcasts relating to all things gaming and a few not, hosted by David Corris and Joshua Seed. Coming in at an hour this first episode of the new series has us covering ourselves and our games of 2009, what games we are looking forward to in 2010 and some recent news and rumours.

Each episode we will also be asking a question to our listeners, starting off the first episode and the new year, we would love you know what your game of 2009 is, what you are looking forward to in 2010, and why?

You can send these emails to [email protected] or leave your answer in the comments.

So myself and Joshua have brought back the Gamers podcast, and dropped the "edition" on the end.

We know a few wanted to see it come back in some form, so we decided just before Christmas we would give it a go, after which we recorded a short preview that the staff listened to before we decided on doing it properly, and now here we are.

We are aiming to get one out every two weeks at a minimum, and if we have the time we will try to do one as often as possible, so hopefully one a week.

Every week we will also be posing a question that we will discuss during the next podcast, one wasn't included in this first episode, so it is being posted here in the quote.

In the future we will hopefully be having guests on, which wont be contained to just neowin staff. Its always great to hear what everyone thinks of the podcast too, you can post it here or just email [email protected] with your views.

We'll be getting the whole itunes feed and such like sorted too. :D

Great news Corris! Heading into work in couple of hours, will listen in then :)

Awesome. :D

Were a bit new to it, but it should get better with time as we learn our way around everything, lol.

Currently listening 18 minutes in.

That was fast, lol.

Will be great to hear what you think.

I haven't listened to it yet (still downloading), but one quick thing I would like is an iTunes feed for the podcast.

EDIT: Looks like I should ready your post before I type. :laugh: What a moron. :no:

Will post back with my thoughts about the show after I have listened to it. :)

Ok, just finished listening so I thought I'd give some quick feedback:

- There was a lot of waffle at the beginning, but I am going to give you guys some slack and put that down to it being your first podcast and the need to introduce yourself, etc etc. Basically just get down to business a lot quicker.

- With regards to the length, I definitely like the length of an hour. I am a fan of listening to podcasts in one sitting, so the 3 hours epics that the 1UP guys used to produce were slightly too long for my tastes.

- There appears to be someone snoring from the 40min~ mark onwards? :laugh: What is that? Whatever it is, you can leave that out next time too. :p

- @Corris: Hannah Montana? Really? You absolute ######. :rofl:

I look forward to hearing the next one guys. (Y)

Any news yet as to when it will be put on itunes, it is so much easier as everything will sync itself to the ipod rather than downloading and manually copying it over :(

You're so lazy! I find it easier to just manually add my audio/video files. Anyway, listening to this as I lay on my bed. So far so good.

Will this be upped on iTunes?

You can find it on iTunes here, currently resting on the old feed at the moment.

So I listened to all of it before I slept and it was thoroughly enjoyable. I want in on the next podcast! Seriously though, good job. You guys had quite an interesting conversation.

I talk to you on the Staff IRC, I think that's all the Anaron anyone should have to handle. :p

Neowin.net presents NeowinCast: Gamers Episode 2, the second in a new series of Podcasts relating to the latest gaming news and rumors, hosted by David Corris and Joshua Seed. This weeks episode arrives at an hour in length as we discuss current news including Netflick coming to the Nintendo Wii, Avatar and Modern Warfare 2 raking in the millions and a little E3 2010 nonsense.

We also cover the question we asked in last weeks podcast, "what is your game of 2009, what you are looking forward to in 2010?" and read out what our listeners have to say via email

or comments.

Second episode up. :D

https://www.neowin.net/news/neowincast-gamers-episode-2

I decided to give the second one a chance and possibly a longer 'impression' of it so here goes;

First off, it's great that you are able to create these at a steady rate - That is certainly a welcome change. However, most of the podcast is just very flavourless.

The podcast before this, with Larry & Co. was like a slice of deep pan pizza - It was unhealthy but man, it tasted great :laugh: what you guys have going is a bit like

a potato ... unsalted. I mean, you're two guys with a weak combined gaming experience - One of you doesn't even own a console in such a console centric market?

The other guy is focused on one console only, so you can't argue, discuss or go back and forth about one of the most important markets today.

You don't even seem to play the same games and every hint of a discussion is just choked right there. So on the whole, you end up sounding like you

don't have much to talk about, everything is a bit forced ( including the laughs ) and it seems like a Podcast made for a group of more casual minded gamers, which

I'm sure there's plenty of but it misses my interests by a mile and a half.

I'd still say, keep at it - Apparently a lot of members around here loves what you're doing (Y)

Unfortunately you're overshooting the core crowd segment by a huge margin.

Hopefully that wasn't too harsh, you know I have a hard time sugar-coating my posts.

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Tor Browser 15.0.17 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.
