We're a geek culture podcast and blog covering video games, music, food and more. We are the kinds of people who evangelize whatever we are into - it could be anything - but it's usually pretty geeky.

I can't believe you didn't know about Dr. McNinja.

Seriously. Not that I've listened to this, but seriously.
Also this encoding better not be made of fail like half the previous ones, where it skips and randomly resets on my MP3 player a ton =

Sealed game collectors are also hoarding all the pitiful.

If I had Nazi Legos, it would be a waste of time. I'd just raise their right arms and exclaim "Sieg Heil" over and over.

Well this one didn't do the resetting stuff, and only skipped a little. It's just some of them. I think it's probably something with the variable bitrate encoding or something, but I NEVER get this from any of dToid's podcasts, so I dunno what it is.
Also, if you didn't go read Dr. McNinja after seeing it on that list, stop anything else, and DO IT RIGHT NOW.

Last week's podcast started over a few times for me too. It is totally not just wedge. This week skipped a little bit but it was mostly when colette was talking. This has happened in other shows too while Colette was talking.
I have run into this problem with some of the earlier ones as well.

I hate being my own tech support. Thanks for the heads up, guys. I'll look into it.

Winamp was the first media player on my PC I ever used, however it continues to be the main media player I still use (with VLC thrown in on occasion for certain video formats). So I find it shockingly weird that you guys think that no one uses the program anymore. I've been using it for a solid 10 years now.

Taht's not the podcast, that's Colette. She just skips sometimes. It's a medical condition.

That was mighty fine of you to recognise Washington state law and not discriminate against her and her disability... I mean, special talents.
