Do you have iTunes? I recommend subscribing, then you can go down the list, read the descriptions of each, and download the ones you want to listen to. Also, someone with the initial M could tell you which are the best shows.
Actually, Rone and Ed, a list would be handy to have somewhere.
Good looking out. I suggested that very idea to Ed a couple months ago. I find it hard to get to old episodes using that archive tab.

I see that you guys are in the sequel to Brokeback Mountain. Touché! :P
You know, sometimes lonely men on a lonely outdoor excursion bundle together naked in order to to stay warm and survive the elements and nothing of a sexual nature occurs. Just because we spooned and he complained, "Dude, your entire bony forearm is pressing full force on my spine," and I said, "That's not my forearm," that does not make us gay cowboys.
It's the bedazzled chaps that make us gay cowboys.

Yeah, giving Shiny an uncensored straightaway to work with? I'm pretty sure that might spark the End of Days.
Some guy called in for the last contest but his message was a bit corrupted. Would call him back to tell him to do it again but he left no full name, phone number, or email address.

I'm going to have to change our contest blurb to make the contact info part even more painfully clear. I can't tell you how many people called in and said, "This is Bob. My entry for... (the entry) Bye."

Not unless you change your voice and make up different names.
Just one entry per person preez. :)

Oh fine I won't do my game show host voice when entering then.
And now for a word from our sponsor.

I figured you may have just been doing something in character, but I wanted to nail down the truth for you, because if you don't nail down the truth, how can you run away with your lies?

::Prances through dewy meadows hand in hand with a swirling cloud of self-deceit.::
The best kind ever... I hate it when my self-deceipt settles.
And now a number of questions I always wanted to ask while in my car, but was too absent-minded to remember to type up later when I was actually in front a computer:
- "Blah de blah has arrived... Let's listen in."
Who? Forty-some episodes of trying and I still can't make this bastich out.
- Any plans for an upcoming episode on Gumshoe (apart from the blurb in the Gencon eps), or a recap of Colonial Gothic?
- Speaking of which, Ed's pick from the CG episode "Rabble In Arms" is the second book in that series according to Amazon. So start with that one or whichever one is the first?
- When is Samsara getting onto iTunes? I got a cd mix with a Barton-sized hole in it. (Now that's a phrase we all wish we had more excuses to use in everyday conversation...)
- Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?
That's all I can remember just now.

Madgael, perhaps our tastes are somewhat close. Many times, when E&R introduce another game system, I'm saying, "Dammit guys, I don't need no more steenking seestems!" But those two times in particular, I went all the way from disappointment to saying, "Okay, I need two more systems. Just two more, then, I'm done." Up Colonial Gothic, Up Gumshoe.

"That trumpet you've just heard means that the king has arrived... let's listen in."
We are quite likely going to revisit CG and there's been talk of spotlighting Gumshoe.
I can't speak in regards to Ed's pick but I'll send him thisaway.
[Sniping from Samsara saw one of its songs get a rich full mix the weekend before last... and that's how I picked up plague from two lil kids. The song's undergoing a second mix this coming weekend. So... slowly but surely she comes closer. I like that reassigned quote: "You gotta Barton-sized hole in ya, girl."
I don't want to hurt you. I only want to hurt Boy George,

Man... you guys!
I don't own CthulhuTech, but the setting sounds and looks very Awesome. It's one of the half dozen games you've spotlighted on AA that really appeal to me but like Mairk I'm all "hmmm... do I really need another game that I'll never play?"
You're gonna make me enter this contest though aren't you, just so that if I win I'll be forced to go out and buy the other 3 books as well... grrr... I hates you and you cunning ploys... ;)

Mail checked and responded to.
I let Ed know you want a copy of the song. He'll send details (and THANKS for your interest!)
We did indeed run the Cthulhutech contest to trick you into entering, winning, and then feeling the pressure to go out and buy the additional books. Our Machiavellian schemes are why we are where we are right *now.
*Clearly we only read the CliffsNotes version of The Prince.

It's funny. The first AA show I listened to was Reign of Discordia (#2) but I didn't listen again until Alpha Omega (#12) but from then on I listened to every episode (and went back to listen to all the previous episodes). I keep the CD spindle in the car and will throw an old one in every now and again for the fun of it.
I didn't actually enter a contest until AA (#15) and actually won (#19) There have been a couple of contests I've wanted to enter but forgot to by the end date (and one that I would have won but for my own stupidity). You guys really spotlight some good stuff and even the stuff you do for Systems I don't play I'm always "man I would love that, but don't have that system".I hang out for each new episode now, which is a big congrats, because up 'til AA I had never listened to a podcast before. You guys converted me.

Among other things, such as bringing attention to lesser known games, AA was a show put together to suit our own tastes - providing the type of entertainment we'd like to hear. Therefore, anyone who likes the show is probably a lot like us psychically. Terrifying, no?

Amen. I just picked up a copy of CG about a week ago, so I am jonesing for more than the one ep really hard.
And I am reminded of how much there needs to be an episode on Gumshoe every time I call for a DC 10 Perception check to decide who spots the obvious and necessary clue to move on first, and then watch as the entire party promptly fails the roll.

What if Ed and Rone were not the best of friends, but were in fact mortal enemies?
HAPPY HALLOWEEN LADIES!

Ed shows up, just not as often. I've exchanged posts with him over here before. He's probably just busy with all his cherubic little children.
I'd say the real problem is Ed's too much of a pretty boy to take the Sean Connery role. ;)
Yeah he is more of a Slan type. You know he has to wear a mask to keep his face pretty.

the Cthulhutech guy was a good guest, another enjoyable show. And now I'm really in the mood to watch "The Thing."
I love having Matt on the show. It's obvious that he loves his game and that isn't something you can fake. He's energetic and knows what he's talking about. Great guy...
I'm not sure about this, but does Ed maybe like CthulhuTech?
No, CthulhuTech sucks. I just fake it because Rone doesn't like it when I make our guest cry. :)
It would be easier if I could just do a PREVIOUS and NEXT between the months or have them listed on one page and have a hot hyperlink from an index at the top to relocate me to where the episode of interested is listed down below in chronological date order.
I've got a list of them all, in album art form, on the Facebook page. At some point, I should probably redesign AtomicArray.com and add in all sorts of bells and whistles.
Rone and I have talked about making a Moonstew site, where all our shows can live together, and where we can talk shop with everyone. _Doing it_, though... that's the thing I haven't had luck with.
Ed's pick from the CG episode "Rabble In Arms" is the second book in that series according to Amazon. So start with that one or whichever one is the first?
You know, the author has tons of books, but you can read Rabble in Arms on its own and do fine. It's a great book and, if you like it, you can always go on to read the rest.
I'd also suggest 'Sloop of War' by Alexander Kent. Killer book.
I soooooo badly want the Open Design Theme Music (amongst others) to put onto one of my Flash Mixes...
Send me an email (moonstew@gmail.com) and I'll hook you up. :)

Well that's a great one to start with! If I were in your enviable position of being able to shepherd someone special through the horror genre for the first time, I'd try to show my favorites first, because if you show the uninspired formulaic schlock first, you'll lose 'em.
Question is... to show The Exorcist or not? I know it's almost forty years old but that one will mess people up and you don't want to send your wife running. You think that film would effect her, or is it somewhat passe by modern standards since so much has copied it since?
Late breaking news: Southwest airline wouldn't let filmmaker Kevin Smith board a flight because he was too big to fit into a seat. That happening to anyone has to feel crappy... but to be famous enough that it makes the news? Egad.
