AARR #54 - The Last Group Discussion Typ...

About this episode

Hi all!

We're ending our 'life-update' series of podcasts with this episode, primarily for two reasons.

  1. The audio has been a nightmare to record with two kids being 67 miles away from a microphone and forgetting they have to actually speak into it.

  2. Being mentally challenged when it comes to actually commenting on a game and what's going on.

That last one was a killer. RIght after we recorded this episode, we *attempted* to do a live stream of Doors 2, with Geek joining through Discord. And saying we 'attempted' to record was being incredibly gracious.

When I opened the recording to work on it, I realized that the audio from the game wasn't captured at all. That occurred during the first Doors episode we recorded a while back, and I literally had to re-create over 90 minutes of audio from the game that took a few years off my life.

Even worse, Geek's trash microphone was cutting in and out of Discord. He also was yelling into the mic, which sounded like a bunch of white noise half the time. Luckily it was on a different audio track, so I could simply remove it from the show, but then...

Both Alden and Wish were literally brain dead during the recording. Beyond reacting do what they were seeing on the screen, nothing was being described, explained or explored. Plus, shouting at Geek half the time made it just as confusing for the listener who didn't have a video to work from.

And I figured all this out after I had created a pretty cool intro using the AI voice of David Attenborough and the rain effects that come from the beginning of the game. Spend a day on it, and opened the source audio file looking to work on it. I gave up after ten minutes.

SO, we're going back to Alden and I having a conversation and playing a game together so that if he completely checks out mentally and just grunts at the visuals on the screen, I've got you covered.

And that episode is already recorded and done. I just have to produce it, which should be infinitely more easier than that garbage recording I was confronted with last week.

Anyway, hope you're enjoying yourself and getting ready for Halloween. And if you're in the US and have registered to vote, VOTE! 🇺🇸

Btw, our Discord has devolved into about three people sharing memes. Alden visits to see who he can play with, so if you seen him there, spam him with emojis. You have my permission since he never reads these.
