Gaming Podcast 215: Hiatus

Due to a familial emergency, TD Gaming Podcast is on temporary hiatus. This week is basically an outtake episode, though a bit short because for the last three months or so, the podcast has been pretty clean. However, there are some interesting conversations that you never got to hear.

There’s even an entire news item back from CES that was completely cut, and now you get to hear ten weeks later. Old news is so much fun!

Thanks for your patience, and we’ll have some new podcasts in a few weeks, we promise.

  3. Dude, don’t apologize, family comes first. All the best for you guys.

    :)) HD porn? Man, we ARE missing out on the good stuff …

    @Microsoft Introduces Avatar Kinect:
    I’ with Derrick on this one: a webcam is far better when it comes to video phone/conference/podcast.

    It could be however something that re-invents role playing. I can see MMOs taking advantage of that: when you get back to your guild HQ, your character now acts as an avatar. Having meetings about how to do a raid, and what strategy to use, etc., I can see THAT kind of meeting benefiting from Kinect Avatar.

Gaming Flashback: DOOMGaming Flashback: DOOM

DOOM is a PC game titlat that wasn’t initially released in stores. It was uploaded to an FTP server in the University of Wisconsin-Madison and on the Software Creations BBS on the 10th of December; released as a shareware game, people were encouraged to download and spread the game around to all their friends.

In days before social networks and the wildfire of the Internet (or high speed networking) this game still managed to spread around to everyone in the gaming community. From1993 to 1995 the title had an estimated install base of 10 million computers. We were one of them.

Granted, ten million copies were installed but most were not registered and simply remained as shareware. However, over one million copies were sold for the registered version of DOOM and this brought momentum to their next non-shareware copy of the DOOM series. The Ultimate Doom (version 1.9, including episode IV) was released, making this the first time that Doom was sold commercially in stores.
