Uncompressed.org - A weekly podcast dedicated to geek life!

Just wanted to pop in and comment on the lack of shows the past few weeks. Unfortunately I have been ill with shingles, and haven’t really been up to sitting through a recording session (wearing headphones is completely out of the question right now, along with just feeling like crap).

Ive been on medication for it, and I am feeling a bit better, so hopefully you will be seeing some new shows popping into your feed soon (you are subscribed to our RSS feed, right?). Sorry for the downtime, and thank you all for supporting Uncompressed!

Sorry for the delay in publishing this — I don’t know where the week has disappeared to. This week is the short(ish) show last week was supposed to be. We talk about the new releases in Portal and PuzzleQuest, discuss the EA takeover of Bioware/Pandemic, and even chat a bit about digital music creation. We really would like to know what topics YOU want us talking about — so why don’t you drop us a line and let us know!

What was going to be a “short show” spiraled into a full hour of off-the-cuff-discussion about Halo, Simpsons demos, Bungee splitting from Microsoft, Puzzle Quest, and more. Sean couldn’t make it for this week’s show, so it was old skool U*, Tony and Thom style.

Still getting back into the flow of things — we hope you enjoy this, our second episode since firing back up the nuclear reactor that is Uncompressed. Still not a lot of news talk in this episode… It’s not like there isn’t any news going on, it’s just that there are so many damn games coming out that it is almost overwhelming. So, if you’re not into the gaming scene, this might be one to skip, but we hope you will give it a listen anyway — hopefully you will at least find the banter entertaining!

So this is it, our first new episode after a several month hiatus. If you are looking for news items, you are going to have to wait until next week — this episode consists mainly of ego masturbation as we talk about how cool we are and catch up on what we have been playing the last few months. Oh, and Bioshock… Lots and lots of Bioshock…

I suppose I should make sure I remember how to post — otherwise it is going to be tough to share with you the show we are doing this week…

That’s right, we’re back.

After taking some time off to get our personal lives / careers in order, the U* team is hunkering down to start bringing you fresh content week after week. We are loosening the reigns a bit, so don’t be surprised if you hear a few words/comments/analogies that wouldn’t have made it through editing in previous episodes… As for how the format is going to be laid out for this second round of U* goodness — I have No. Fucking. Clue…

We just know there is an awful lot of cool stuff coming down the pipe industry wide, and we would be pained, PAINED, if we didn’t sit down to chat with you all about it.

So sit back and enjoy the ride kids. We hope you missed us, because we sure as hell missed you.

Just thought I would post a quick update — Uncompressed is not dead, but is very much on hold at the moment.

As you regular listeners know, many of the U* staff have gotten new jobs over the past few months (Myself, Thom, Lynn, Matt…) and others have been extremely busy with work/families/etc. (Sean, Floyd, Tyler…) Because of all this, we really haven’t had the time required to put something like Uncompressed together with any sort of regularity.

I want to stress that we are not shutting down completely, and hope to return to regular podcasting in the not-so-distant future — but for right now we need to step back and get things in order outside of the podcast realm.

If you want to talk to us, please feel free to post here or email us, and don’t forget you can game with us via the information listed on GameWith.Us.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us here at U* over the last year and a half. We hope to be back soon!

Hey everyone, just me (Tony) doing the show this week — so it’s pretty straight and to the point. Not a lot of idle chit-chat, so I am going to try and keep this post on task too.
