Stryder's tip-of-the-week
Forum Questions

I promise to make an effort to make the next episode shorter.

foyleman writes...

WHY? The longer - the bettter, I say...

well, doesnt matter how long it is as long as you fill it with good stuff, this is such example, nice job

it is hard to cut back sometimes when the topics allow for more discussion than a quick little blurb...

by the same token - it is hard to judge what type of a discussion any given topic may generate

It was a great show,

This was the first I have heard of this Mods-on-air and I found myself talking to the computer. Trying to interject my opinions the Physics engine. lol

The Game engine will need to involve the processor. More than likely, effects, certain objects designated as movable entities will be noticeable by the new Physic Engine. In addition, the game engine will allow developers to say, ""This object is going to be part of the physics() function.

Great Job guys, let me know if you need someone to fill in.

hehe. Thanks Wyatt. Maybe not our best show, but certainly it had good content.

Like Stryder pointed out, we really just come to the table with topics and whatever knowledge we have about that topic. I often do research to make sure my opinion has validity. Other than that, we don't know where the topic will end up taking us in our verbal voyage (hehe, verbal voyage).

This is why we never know how long the show is going to run. We just have an idea of the topics. The end of the show is off the top of our heads. Stryder comes up with the tip of the week, but then we go from there. I don't even know what the tip is going to be until the show.

It's alot of fun. There are a bunch of podcasts out there I enjoy listening to and it's great to be someone who can give back.

I like the content of all your shows. It makes me seem intelligent when someone asks a question and the answer was one of the podcasts.

BTW, who happened to foxhound? Did stryder kill him so that is only him and foyleman that chat?

Its a whacked out conspiricy I tells ya!

Good job guys,
Supersword

Foxhound's job sometimes takes him on the road and leaves him without a means to join us for our recordings. He'll be back with us again soon.

I got some other requests for you guys that I am gonna make in another topic... it has to do with leaving us your questions/comments via voicemail.

Ok, my mind is now at ease.
Voicemail eh? Sounds cool!
