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

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.

    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI by David Uzondu The Ladybird Browser Project has announced it will no longer accept public pull requests and will limit changes to those made by its maintainers as it works towards its first alpha release. According to Ladybird's creator Andreas Kling, this is "not a change we make lightly," but the rapid shift in AI capabilities forced their hand. Previously, a massive PR implied that the person behind it put a lot of care into the code and is ready to "answer for the consequences." Now with AI, anyone can generate a PR without even understanding the bug fix or feature they want merged. The blog post goes on to say that the team is closing all open public pull requests immediately, and that maintainers will not treat external forks as a review queue for upstream Ladybird. Instead, the team wants outside contributors to focus on reporting bugs and running tests. Kling started Ladybird back in 2019 as LibHTML, a simple HTML viewer for his hobby operating system, SerenityOS, but by September 2022, it had turned into a full-fledged browser project. What sets Ladybird apart from the likes of Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox is its totally independent engine, which does not rely on pre-existing codebases. The project maintains a strict policy against default search engine deals or user data monetization, keeping development funded entirely by donations and sponsorships. Generative AI is forcing open source project maintainers to rethink how they handle public code contributions (and the whole open-source thing in general). One month ago, a leak about the National Health Service (NHS) suggested the organization was planning to take all of its public repositories private ahead of a May 11 deadline, thanks to Mythos (an AI model that Anthropic believes is too dangerous to be released to the public) and its ability to find and write exploits for zero-day vulnerabilities. Thankfully, the Government Digital Service (GDS) issued a counter-report titled "AI, open code and vulnerability risk in the public sector" that stopped the shutdown by pointing out that hiding code does not improve security.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
