The Steam Podcast

This post is both aimed at Bob and all of our listeners.

I suppose a quick explanation is in order. Honestly and truthfully, the last couple days have been some of the worst and most annoying I’ve ever experienced. For starters, a very good friend of mine was involved in a near fatal car crash. I spent most of the night that we were supposed to record the podcast stuck in a hospital at my friends’ side. Now, Bob told me I was supposed to get on air by about 7PM (Australian time). By the time I saw the time, it was about 7:15. I said my goodbye’s to everyone, rushed home, and jumped onto my computer…Only for my modem to give me the same error every time I would attempt to connect… “The host computer did not respond”. After screwing around with my phone line, modem and computer, I finally decided to give tech support a call.

The guy I called suggested that I try changing some settings and rebooting. I did. My computer refused to turn on. After about 45 minutes of trying to figure out the problem, It [the computer] finally just fixed itself and decided to turn on.

After talking to the guy on the other side for another 30 minutes, we finally came to the conclusion that my line was cut. Long story short, my internet won’t be ready for another week. Which is why I’m at in internet café right now .

Well, that’s about it. I know, it probably seems farfetched, and I know this isn’t my personal blog, but I thought I’d explain everything to you guys.

Best Regards,
Ramzy

I just wanted to let you know that I finished the little “project” I promised. While it’s pretty different from our usual thing, I think you’ll enjoy it nonetheless. My computer is currently working in overdrive to get all the converting and compressing done over the next few hours, but Episode 7 should be up by the end of today.

The 1337 C4T is on vacation this week. He’ll return for Episode 8.

We highly recommend you download the the special video version this week. The entire episode is a video demonstration of the Nintendo Wii, and thus won’t make much sense if you can’t see what’s going on.

Can’t see the video? If you have DivX installed that should work fine, or you can download the latest version of XviD from Koepi’s site.
