R.I.P old Arsecast format.   

Understandable - it's a lot of work, and it takes a lot of effort to pretend you have a life to lead  - but I always looked forward to the next one.  It was like a bunch of games reviews presented by Monty Python.   :D

Well, it's time to say R.I.P as I've axed the audio.

It was taking too long and resulting in everything forming a backlog rather than more regular posts as I hoped. There's a better explanation on the site (second post down, the top one is some "news" stuff) but I'll still be doing the interviews as audio obviously.

It's a shame, I really enjoyed the podcast. Good luck with the blog format though.

Actually, within the last half an hour I think I've found a best of both worlds approach. Basically have the written articles and reviews and then once a month or so do a talky podcast, but it won't be scripted. But as I can't wing it on my own I shall be doing over the telephone with another chap from the indie/retro gaming world. As there's no script to stick to and just a broad itinery of subjects to cover it'll be a piece of piss and the rough nature of it means less editing. It's a win-win situation!

Nut as I can't wing it on my own I shall be doing over the telephone with another chap from the indie/retro gaming world.

Good to hear... or rather, will hear.  In my own experiments, I found it really tough to make a "talking to myself" show interesting, short of perhaps devolving in to a split personality.  Even then, multiple takes later, my improv/storytelling is weak.  Good luck, and may the arse be with you.

I still think you should record it down the pub.
