VineCast Episode 3: I Can’t Dun Turn It On

For the time being we have reverted back to an audio podcast. Much respect to Francis for spending so long on our video E3 podcast but at the moment we don’t have the time or the people to make it a regular feature. It shall return at some point in some form, just not now.

Something else is also different I am hosting this one because obviously what the VineCast needed was a little more Craig. Joining me is William Saw and James Cobb and half way through Gyuri joins us emerging from the tall grass. We discuss Bioshock Infinite (Skyoshock), the PSP Phone rumour, Mafia II and a nice discussion on Innovation this generation. Along with what everyone has been doing since last time. Expect Chicken Holocausts, Scott Pilgrim and wild Hungarians.

There were so many audio issues. I was able to get rid of most of them but some of them remained due to me laziness. So much echo, I’m looking at you Cobb.

Re:Booted MonsterVineCast – Episode 9… or 2. We forget.

Been a while? Absolutely. But if it’s any consolation, this one is a little bit… different. We have video.

This time, William, myself, Craig and Gyuri discuss our thoughts on this past E3 (Heavens it has been a long time since that ended, hasn’t it), complete with video and some new visual effects that hopefully spice things up for the future.

We had a hard time finding a place to host this episode, and right now have settled on Megavideo for the time being.

Not much else to say, but please do enjoy!
