ModCast #8: "Nice Nipples"

[Locutus]

The eighth episode of ModCast is here, an official podcast of Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS). "Nice Nipples" (46m03s) features the four core panelists Wouter "Locutus" Snijders, Tony "GarretSidzaka" Kiehl, Kenneth "Impaler[WrG]" Ferland and Oscar "Elhoim" Velzi as well as guest host James "NikNaks93" Nicholls.

ModCast is a bi-weekly ~45-minute audio production of Apolyton Civilization Site and is an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on Civilization modding; its sibling show PolyCast focuses on Civ strategy. To date, ACS is the only community on the web to produce its own Civilization podcasts.

Summary of Topics:

We talk about Brad Wardell, of Stardock and Galactic Civilizations II fame, being interviewed on GFW Radio (show of 04/02/2008) (detailed text summary).

Unfortunately due to loss of net connection by our guest James "NikNaks93" Nicholls, the Spotlight on his modding work (which includes the World of Civilization Project) had to be canceled. We promise we'll try to get him back on the show soon!

Sweet! I have been waiting for this one for the past 3 days Will go straight to listen right now!

 

[Locutus]

Sorry to keep you waiting, Tony was procrastinating again Hope you enjoy the show...

 

[Aranor]

Loved it! Now I just need to wait 2 more weeks for the next show You know there is nothing better to mod by than listening to modcast!

 

[Wolfshanze]

Has the next modcast been recorded yet? Who's in it? What's discussed?

 

[Locutus]

Yes, it was recorded yesterday. seZereth was our guest, so we talked a lot about his artwork and a bit about FfH. Some of Aranor's art was actually discussed as well.

Cool episode guys. Thanks again for the mention and for covering my vicinity bonus modcomp, you *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*s.

At 40:00 into the .mp3, the guy that says "I think you're supposed to pronounce it shqyp, actually" (is that Wouter?) got the closest. Just add an "eh" sound at the end, with more emphasis on the "y," and you've got it.

I've edited the post linked in my sig to directly link to the .mp3 files (I never deleted it, angelfire must have reached maximum bandwidth), but anyway in this post I've attached a .zip of the 2 .mp3 files as well just in case.

The .zip with the audio files are found in this post: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=6772611&postcount=16

For some reason, they don't reproduce when I open them...

I guess I'll never know how to pronounce it.

Nice one!

Although I must confess that when I first saw the title "Nice Nipples" I didn't exactly think it'll be Tuskaloosa's

In my above post I have included both .mp3 files in a .zip as an attachment which will allow you to hear exactly how it is pronounced.

I guess we all understood that. And also that the files you uploaded are not playable

Please retry, because they work fine on my computer... they're in .mp3 format but one shouldn't have a problem playing them; unless the .zip was corrupted somehow.

You can try to download and play it... it's seems corrupted enough.

 

[Locutus]

Shqype,
Glad I got the name almost right anyway Now to teach those ignorant Americans...

The files really aren't there on Angelfire, or if they are they're not publicly accessible. If you open the files you attached in a text editor you'll see that they're not actually MP3s but HTML files that give a 404 error Downloading the files from Angelfire probably works for you because you have the files stored in your local browser or ISP cache, but they're really not there for the rest of us.

 

[Shqype]

Dumb mistake on my part, but this time I FINALLY got it (I promise!):

 

[Elhoim]

Thanks! Now I know!

 

[Seven05]

I know his real name and that is a hell of a lot easier to pronounce, so I just use that
