Gaming Influences Episode 2 - Dan "Shoe" Hsu

In this episode I talk with Dan about early gaming and how he got into the industry. We also talk about the current state of games media and Dan sums up his thoughts on print journalism in its current state.

I do want may a small apology for the sound quality, the sound itself is fine, but every ten minutes or so you will hear a weird noise that sounds like an old arcade jingle, I did try my best in post to reduce the effects of this noise so that it would no interfere with the episode.

If you listen to last week's Mobcast you'll discover that phase of his life is over with.

Really? :lol I stopped listening months ago.

Nah the format was getting stale so he's not the sole reason, but the most annoying thing of all was him mentioning her all the time, or even worse when she'd be on the show too and they're indulge in the most boring of discussions.

Anyway, that's now what this thread is for. My original comment was more a compliment on the show being interesting with the right person than a dig at Dan. :)

Hearing her bitch about 3D killed the show for me, not listened since.


Downloaded the podcast, will give it a listen later, thanks.

bitmob is hit and miss, depends on whos on the podcast and the topics. the one where they talk about getting abducted into an alien arcade zoo was good and so was the "god damn you minotaur!" episode.

There's a problem with the direct link, when I copy + paste it shows up as:
"http://traffic.libsyn.com/pauljeremiah/Gaming_Influences_Episode_2.mp3%20"

So I guess you added a space at the end by mistake (the first episode has none of that in the direct link)? I removed the space at the end and it worked fine. Thought I would mention it in case anyone else has a problem downloading it. :)

Listened to the episode, surprised to hear Hsu's take on the print press. I think he's right in a very two dimensional way, physically printed magazines are a dying breed, but I think with things like the iPad and the growing use of things like Kindles, a quite traditional magazine style company could be sustained thru digital sales. I know it's opening your magazine to piracy, but if something like Edge had digital monthly subscriptions, I think they'd make a lot of money, they could distribute the world over as well. People will pay for good content if the form factor is right I think. People aren't going to pay to use Kotaku of course, because it's shit, but I'd certainly pay for digital Edge.

It's Mila Kunis isn't it? The first video podcast, can't wait.

Sorry, just watch Eli last night, inspired by your podcast in fact, Davison mentioned it

A few questions:

What was that noise? A phone? And that was a looong pause with Dan while he was thinking about this least favorite word.

I really liked your first podcast and will listen to all your new ones. I loved the fact that you ended the first one with all these bullshit questions an 8-year old asks for an interview, yet spawned some interesting conversation nonetheless. :D

i have no idea what that noise was, i really tried to get rid of it in post. as for the long pause, well he was thinking, there was a 2 other times when he paused to think, and I did edit those out.

Yeah, I knew he was thinking, but I had to check my Windows Media Player to ensure that it didn't stop.

Great job nonetheless. I look forward to the Jeff Green episode.

I've enjoyed the first two shows, subscribed on iTunes. My only criticism, and I'd probably do the same thing due to nerves, is that your questions tend to be really meandering. You ask the question, restate in a different form, and then ask it again. I'm sure you'll work through it as you get more shows under your belt but it might be something to think about. Keep up the good work!

The podcast is cool and all, but I think you need guests besides ex-Ziff Davis employees for it to live up to its title.

I agree, I have contacted other people but have yet to hear back. This is just the way it happened, I was thinking that myself earlier.

For some reason when I try to subscribe to the RSS feed using Google Listen, it loads up all 4 episodes you've done of Blogcast, one of which is with John Davison, but when I try to listen to it, it tells me, "An error occurred while playing this episode." The fact that the rss feed works fine in firefox seems to suggest it's not your fault though.

My sentiments exactly. Very cool show. But don't ruin the idea by interviewing all the usual suspects. Get some guys and gals on there that don't make the podcast rounds every month or so.
