The Incredible Podcast

The Incredible Podcast of Amazing Awesomeness Episode 93 Here is another show! It has both Mike and Turpster in it, and you will probably enjoy it. Plus: We’re having a London Meetup next week! Here’s the deets for you: Where: Oxford Circus station. Turpster says this is a legit place to meet, and we’ll probably head out to a bar or restaurant near here. Stay tuned to our Twitter feeds to find out exactly where we’re going, if you can’t be there right at… When: 5pm local time, Friday April 6! Who: You! And Mike. And The T. And maybe some other people! Why: Because Mike is beginning his European trip across the continent. And because he really wants to have a good time with all of you. How: However you can get there! Please come, it’ll be really fun, and it’ll probably be your only chance to meet with Mike while he’s in foggy London town. Actually, that’s not quite true — if you’re in London and want to do some touristy stuff with Mike, he’s completely open to the idea. Have a favorite restaurant to show him, or want to just do some standard tourist type stuff with him? Let him know — send an email to mike@mikeschramm.com. He’s got a whole week of free time and needs to fill it, so help him out, if you’re a local who knows about something cool!

Mike and The T are joined by the great Duncor in this show, which we actually taped two weeks ago after being off the air for two more weeks, so you’re probably confused as to what it’s all about. I wish I could help you, but it was so long ago that even I don’t remember what it’s all about. Still, it’s a new episode, so download it, enjoy it, and thank Duncor over on Twitter at @Duncor for helping us make it. Bummed that you haven’t seen a show in so long? Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you, the unreleased beta version…. of Cat Wars 3: Play it here! Yes, it doesn’t work exactly right, and yes, that art is terrible (T never had time to make any better art). Yes, the sounds are placeholder, and it’s kind of unclear what the controls are (mouse to shoot, arrows to move, spacebar to bomb). But it is a fully working game, right? Enjoy! Rather than make you wait any longer on a game that we probably wouldn’t have been able to release in this fashion anyway, it’s yours to play. Enjoy the show, and we have another one coming up very quickly, so stay tuned for that.

This Episode was lost in time (read: Turpster’s inbox) but it’s one of TIPOAA purity and heritage that required that it be shared even after all of these weeks! 90 is a tricky number; in that it is both 9, the largest of all single digits, paired with 0, the smallest. As such it’s a bit of a confused beast, which I personally believe adds to the experience but consider yourself warned. As always we answered your emails and voicemails — you can email us anytime you like at theshow@incrediblepodcast.com, or give us a call at 1-830-4-TURPS-4. And in the meantime, enjoy the show! We have been lax on recording lately, but we should be back next week as usual, and we might even have a new guest to chat with. We’ll be back live on Ustream Sunday morning, bright and early on Mike’s time, at 9am PST or 5pm GMT on T’s time. See you then!

Yes, our friends (and Turpster’s co-hosts) from The Instance, Scott Johnson and Willie Dills, were kind enough to join us this week to chat about — well, mostly gaming in general. But the real point of talking to them (other than the fact that they’re nice guys and excellent podcasters) was to chat about The Instance Old Republic edition, and see what these guys all think of the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO. Everybody involved has some excellent opinions, so tune in and listen for those. We also talked at length about Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and you can hear Scott’s interview with 38 Studios head Curt Schilling over on his Final Score podcast. Huge thanks to both Scott and Willie for joining us — odds are you already listen to the Instance and Scott’s great work at Frogpants, but if not, go give them your ears! We also answered your emails and voicemails this week — you can email us anytime you like at theshow@incrediblepodcast.com, or give us a call at 1-830-4-TURPS-4. We had some pretty heinous hate mail this week, so maybe next week (as we move closer to Valentine’s Day), we can get some love mail. Looking at you, ladies! And in the meantime, enjoy the show! We have been lax on recording lately, but we should be back next week as usual, and we might even have a new guest to chat with. We’ll be back live on Ustream Sunday morning, bright and early on Mike’s time, at 9am PST. See you then!  

We recorded this episode earlier in the week but Turpster has been so busy doing sweet F.A that he’s only just gotten around to uploading it on the day we record the next episode! GG T! (It’s ok, I can say all of these horrid things about The T since I, Turpster, am writing this) The episode was vitally important for raising awareness of Mike’s new eBook “The Shape of Teeth” and the several different editions available for purchase for fans of the show. Since I’ve only just gotten around to uploading it, I’m going to guess that none of you have yet purchased Mike’s collection of short stories…you can rectify that now and go buy it for the low, low price of $7. Better yet, get the collector’s edition for just $3 more and you get a whole heap of extras. Shoot an email over to the show’s email (theshow@incrediblepodcast.com) and we’ll make sure to deliver EVEN MORE content for anyone who’s bought either version of the book. As always we read out your emails and play your phone calls. If you hear something on the show you’d like to respond to, please do email us at theshow@incrediblepodcast.com. You can also call us at 1-830-4-TURPS-4 which can always be more fun.

Ding dong merrily on high! The Christmas episode of TIPOAA is almost in time for Christmas (one day out isn’t that bad now is it?!) We were fortunate enough to have a super bumper cast of guests on this past week with not one, not two, but THREE guests on this special festive episode. Nicole Spag was back and on form, letting all potential mothers out there know that your gaming time WILL be significantly abridged with the birth of your first child – this has since put Turpster right off the idea of kids. We were also joined by the occasional sound from Mateo Spagnuolo, the youngest podcast guest we’ve ever had on the show at just seven weeks! He didn’t have a huge amount to add, but when he did, it was usually to disagree with something Mike said or to sigh at one of Turpster’s most excellent jokes. Finally we were joined by an old favourite of the show, it wouldn’t be Christmas without her, of course, it was Mrs. Claus. With Santa always being so busy at this time of year its a real privilege to get a chance to talk with Mrs. Claus and get an idea of what really goes on behind the scenes in the North Pole. Amongst all this, Turpster got his new Doghouse Systems Laptop and Mike has his new eBook coming out. Very exciting times! As always we read out your emails and play your phone calls. If you hear something on the show you’d like to respond to, please do email us at theshow@incrediblepodcast.com. You can also call us at 1-830-4-TURPS-4 which can always be more fun. Finally, both Mike and I would like to wish you all a fantastic festive holiday and a cracking New Year. We should be back sometime this week in advance of 2012 (THE END OF THE WORLD!) so keep an eye out on Twitter!
