Yes. It is a good thing. I'm sorry I was unclear, I've just spent about four hours playing DX:HR, and it's 2:30am here, and I've had a couple drinks. So yeah.

Fuck yeah I've been hacking the Gibson and not asking for this all week.
If you ever want me to watch or listen to anything you make, don't tell me it is shit. Tell me you are proud of it. If you are not proud of it, don't ask me to watch it. If you know the audio sucks, fix it before you ask me to watch it. If you have to re-record the audio, re-record the audio before you ask me to listen to it. If you talked to fast, slow down when you re-record it. You don't need my feedback to do this, and I don't need to spend any of my time on something you know sucks.
A few episodes ago, on my podcast, I spent time reviewing other podcasts with some other podcaster friends. I mentioned a podcast called Paul the Book Guy and how I thought it wasn't very good, but I admitted I'd only listened to one episode, and that was episode three. Paul listens to my podcast, and sent me an email saying "hey!"
His email included:
"Love your podcast, hope you take a few moments to revisit our podcast. Im sure I can pick apart your episode 003 as well, but hope you will take some time and revisit what we are "trying" to do... we are book lovers first and doing this all as a labor of love. I hope our new formatting (live recording, jingles are played live from software into the audio mix and there is almost ZERO post production work done."
My reply included:
"So, as an experiment, I just listened back to episode three of my podcast. And you know what? It sounds almost exactly the same as my more recent output. I talk a lot faster now, and the episodes last around 40 minutes instead of 11 minutes. But the format is almost exactly the same.
The reason for this is that I did half a dozen test podcasts over the six months before releasing the first episode publicly. I worked out what things I needed to say, in what order, and what to say in the introduction, and how to close out the episode, and what theme music to use, and all these little things. Then I recorded five real episodes that I was happy with before uploading anything. Only after all this did I post them online where anyone could listen. This is partly because I'm a process perfectionist, but mainly because I wanted each episode to stand alone as much as possible in time, and apart from other episodes, so a listener could pick any episode as the first and get right into it. With each book having its own episode, people are free to dip in wherever and get what they want about any book or author. I knew I had to have a regular format from the start, as I didn't want any of the content to be disposable, or discardable. It's a resource about books, not a news show or topical debate."

Ok Acid Burn. Lets bust out our 28.8s and a sleeve of 3 1/4 flopies each and see who can fill them the fastest with some sweet sweet trogans. The first person to fill a sleeve of 3 1/4 with their own trogans that they write themselves and a different one on each floppy mind you gets to be the winner. Then the looser has to wear a dress. You got big enough balls to play this game nerd?
