I'm getting it now!

I didn't use to listen to modcast, but i listened to 32 (after seeing my unit in the artist sketchpad), and I highly enjoyed it.


Also, you are encouraging underage drinking :thumbsdown:!

:joke:

yeah and definitely browse the archives, we have a whole other season that might appeal to you and will certainly have entertaining mods :)


Also, you are encouraging underage drinking :thumbsdown:!

:joke:
If you are under the legal age to drink where you live, i suggest you move to another country that you are allowed to drink in;) :lol:

Really annoying echo, whoever edited it :badcomp:

Edit: The echo gets better as it goes on.

Also cool job on referencing the mod poll, I tried to bump it, but it's fallen out of existence....


I also request you guys check out Legends of Revolution once I get the 0.9 build out the door, but not before. RevDCM has been acting up with recent releases and I want to get those sorted out first (which is why Legend hasn't been updated). If you really need a guest if you guys check out that mod, use achilleserzo. He'll be on the authors list once 0.9 is released.


Hmm, lets see, going to rag on you guys some more here. In my not so humble oppinion this wasn't one of your better episodes... It seemed like you spent half the time talking about Apolyton, which to be honest, I don't really care about... And well other then the ending refernce to the mod poll, and the conquistador units (which are awesome BTW), there wasn't anything interesting discussed.

we had to cover this because it means some changes for us the panel, but not really at all for our listeners. we plan on providing mediocre jokes for many more episodes!

DanQ is the owner of the polycast and modcast label, and leaving apolyton is a big deal for DanQ. i can see where your coming from tho

hey btw: why dont you come onto our show on sunday?

Not until I get a job. I would like to see Legends of Revolution covered though, but at this point I'd rather wait until 0.9 comes out. Also if you really want a guest to help cover the mod that worked on development, just get achilleserzo to do it :p
