A whole hour? Wow.

rupbert · 22nd Dec 2006, 12:01

I was going to suggest a Bit-Tech podcast after hearing Will Harris with Leo Laporte and the Twits.

Mankz · 22nd Dec 2006, 12:12

well, im downloading it....

got nothing better to do....

oasked · 22nd Dec 2006, 12:20

Listening to it now, nice to hear Will after that Cranky Geeks appearance.
Could do with an introduction theme tune me thinks...

EDIT:

Is it me, or does Tim sound like that bloke from the Office?

Edit: Flop of the year, I agree

Djpuk · 22nd Dec 2006, 12:44

So many podcasts, so little time

I look forward to listening to this Gem.

Cthippo · 22nd Dec 2006, 12:53

downloading. You're server is in the US, right? 400 k/sec is respectable.

r4tch3t · 22nd Dec 2006, 12:55

I only got 58K, but that is a limit of my connection.
Listening now. 34 minutes in.

Firehed · 22nd Dec 2006, 12:55

About time guys... I think I've been hoping for this since I started listening to TWiT (which I think would be over a year ago... yikes). Listening now

Mankz · 22nd Dec 2006, 13:07

liking this. Problem is you all sound pretty Goggy like.

r4tch3t · 22nd Dec 2006, 13:26

OMG, just listened to the whole thing.

Well now it is 2:26am here.
Good job, looking forward to more.

Mankz · 22nd Dec 2006, 14:07

veryevil · 22nd Dec 2006, 16:21

Nice job guys! really enjoyed it. looking forward to more

Mary Jo · 22nd Dec 2006, 16:44

Don't give up your day jobs :P I jest! I jest! I think a bit-tech podcast could be quite good, but a tighter structure is definitely needed. In particular I'd like to hear concise versions of the week's key news headlines and quick summaries of reviewed hardware. It'd also be nice if Tim could throw in summarized accounts of the latest technologies as I really don't have time to read everything that's published on the site, yet I like to keep up with hardware to an enthusiast level. Do it!

BioSniper · 22nd Dec 2006, 17:41

I'm surprised Gears didn't get chosen as one of the best games of the year on console. The co-op really makes it fantastic. Obviously yes its rinse and repeat action, move -> kill -> move -> kill etc however, I think one of the reasons though for this is that the game really is a large tech demo for the Unreal 3 engine.
It's clearly fun to play though with a good story and I cannot wait for more of the same if they develop episodic content or GoW 2.
In all fairness though if I were to rate it I would probably give it an 8.5

In all fairness as interesting as the podcast is/was I can't help but feel it was way too long. After the bit about games I started skipping until I heard something vaguely interesting.
Obviously though if it continues as a regular Bit feature I'm sure it will gain more structure and become more to the point

Its Low-co Row-co not lock-o rock-o surely?
