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!
Uncompressed Episode 55
October 3rd, 2007 7:44 pm by TonyUncompressed Episode 54
September 18th, 2007 11:00 pm by TonySo 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…
*tap tap* Is this thing on?
September 13th, 2007 7:34 pm by TonyI 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.
Podcast on Hold
May 2nd, 2007 9:03 pm by TonyJust 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!
Uncompressed Episode 53
April 18th, 2007 10:23 pm by TonyHey 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.
Check out this weeks links after the jump!
Uncompressed Episode 52
April 3rd, 2007 7:05 pm by TonyLots of things going on this week on Uncompressed. Confirmation of the Xbox 360 Elite, and an analysis of Gamestop’s profits are just the tip of the iceberg. From Blackberries and Kwik-E-Marts, to the Questing of Puzzles –continue reading below for all of the links to this weeks topics.
Also, we want to increase audience participation (we know that you are out there). Do you have ideas on how to stir things up a bit? Write us.
Uncompressed Episode 51
March 26th, 2007 10:26 pm by TonyTwo weeks in a row! The world must be on the verge of Armageddon!
But in all seriousness, its good to be back on some semblance of regularity. Matt Risic is back this week after being absent for several episodes; he comes back to let us know whats been keeping him busy — it’s an announcement you don’t want to miss! Of course the rest of the show involves us going on about the usual games and tech news. Want to know exactly what we talked about? Keep reading the show notes below to find out…
Uncompressed Episode 50
March 21st, 2007 7:28 pm by TonyIt’s here, the 50th episode of Uncompressed. Somewhere out there is someone who has been listening to us talk for 50+ hours — may God have mercy on their soul…
But in all seriousness, we have an awesome show for you this week. Despite being a few weeks behind, due to hectic schedules, we manage to get right back in the swing of things with a wide variety of tech and gaming topics. This week also marks the return of news girl Lynn Richter after she left the show a month or so back. The return of her segment brings back a bit of structure to the show so we can talk about topics such as the YouTube lawsuit, AMD’s financial collapse, new Xbox rumors, and $1000 pizzas, without all the dead air.
Enjoy, and please, leave us a comment on our landmark 50th!
Uncompressed Episode 49
February 26th, 2007 11:02 pm by TonyAnother week of off-the-cuff hijinks is what awaits you for this, the 49th edition. I don’t really even know what to say about this weeks show… Still largely unstructured, we rambled on for an awfully long time about Crackdown and Lord of the Rings: Online. At some point I seem to remember us trying to talk about real news like the recent Microsoft fine, and Skype wanting to get into the cellular market; but then it was back to gang members and orcs — because really, killing those two groups in a virtually crafted world is what we do best.
Uncompressed Episode 48
February 19th, 2007 8:01 pm by TonyTony and Thom are in the studio tonight to bring you Episode 48. As usual, this week’s show is heavy on the video game talk, but we also get to a few other topics like the new ATI R600 and the feud between Joe Rogan and Carlos Mencia. Rather than let me blab on here about it, why don’t we just get to it?
