A DVD will easily accomodate an audio file, but will it play in a CD player? Hmmm.
It's something I thought may be worth an option for future episodes, for the benefit of Luddites who want to listen to a disc in the car, or such, when the programme goes over @70minutes.
If I knew anything about editing, I'd cut it up myself, but I don't want the sound to leak out the edges, yannow?
OK... just let me know if you're friend can get it via the atomicarray.com or Itunes. If not, I'll halve and send it.
Flash said he burned CDs onto disk, so when we go over CD capacity I always cringe and picture him there in Australia saying, "Great. Just great." ;)
The sound editing program I use takes as much time to "bounce" (export to disk) as it does to play. So It takes me 50 minutes a piece to bounce two seperate 50 minute tracks. Now because I tend to mix each episode RIGHT BEFORE it's due (we usually keep to a no-wiggle room schedule)I have no time to create second versions... just the full episode. But that said, with a few extra days I'm happy to halve any show and send it out upon request.
In answer to your thought, DVDs don't play in CD players.
But certain CD players support playing in mp3 format and if his can do so, you can play hours upon hours worth of audio beyond the 80 minute standard. Something he should look into.
The catch would be to burn it as a data CD versus an audio CD.
In Asia a good audio system has a USB socket. Car stereos all have them, too. I haven't burned a CD for years.

Wish I could say that. Just burned 60 CDs earlier as a "project" the gal's mom signed us up to do. <grumble>

You think you have it bad? I've seen Greedo in a Speedo.
I saw Han Solo give himself a hand solo.
I saw Obi Wan Kenobi get a sex change operation and unveil herself as Obi Wan Barbie-obi.
I saw the infamous father son drink-off on Dagobah where two men were forever after known as Puke Skywobbler and Barf Daver in some circles.
I saw Princess Leia get age conscious and begin to replace her body, piece by piece, with robot parts. I knew if was all over when she showed up with hair buns of steel.
I saw Yoda "go Hollywood" and demand his pool guy keep the water clean with midichlorines.
I saw disgraced sportscaster Marv Albert plead his case in court, saying he bit that woman between her shoulder blades during sex because she said, "Chewbacca" and he never saw Star Wars.
I want to devise more, but it's late and the force is no longer with me.

Okay, relisten time.

Ed grimaced. The man never liked breaking bad news to me. Last time it was about a murdered dame we both shared a soft spot for. Time before that I learned we weren't getting paid for a week long stakeout across from the Ritz. And before that, someone stole a cookie off my desk. All three times I pulled my piece and filled a buncha guys full a daylight.
When Sutter showed up at our office it was as warm an embrace as you'd get bear hugging a freezer full of dead yetis, and I could tell by his eyes that I was nothing to him... nothing but a means to his own end. But I don't think about other men's ends much... I prefer to watch my own. Any way you slice it, we all lived. For now. Let's just see what happens in the follow up novel.

I hear ya, brother. Anybody trying to slice my end would find themselves clutching dirt so fast that the Grim Reaper wouldn't find out about it until the next day.

I met the reaper down at the docks tonight. She just laughed. No suprise that death would appear to me as a bony dame. I didn't crack wise or threaten her. I mean, either I was hallucinating or this was death itself mocking me. I left her to the mist and shadows between buildings and continued on my way, the wood planks beneath my wingtips so waterlogged they became slippery, as if this sick City hocked onto its own chest. Not ten minutes later that slime would put a giant Mongol off balance and give me the chance I needed. I would draw my piece and put two brutes and an attack camel on the wrong side of the lawn, after the importer I came to question about a prostitution ring tried to have his goons 86 me. Maybe it was the camel part that made the reaper laugh hard enough to clack ribs. Before dying the beast spit blood in my eye and then its bactrian humps deflated. School taught me there was moist fat in those things, but apparently that's where they keep their souls. What else did school get wrong? Might explain why the world runs like a pocketwatch dropped into a bus station toilet that hasn't flushed in months.
I scrubbed the blood off my hands and clothes in the Hudson and tried my best to rinse away the strange vision I'd had. But though blood wipes, meeting death is indelible. With any luck, there'll be a few new presidents before our next reunion. Healy would think me crazy if I told him what I saw, so why was I sharing with Mr. Neve, proprietor of the antiquarian book store on Charles Street? I dunno, maybe I just trust a guy who's read about so much about human experience to not judge me, or maybe even know better than me what actually happened. Or maybe it was just the cup of joe he offered me when I walked past, seeing how cold, damp, and shaken I was. There are times where you need a friend. In my experience, not often. But sometimes.

is a lot of good stuff… but 501 Adventure Plots is a staggering amount of great stuff. The Gnomes over at the ENnie award-winning Gnome Stew blog penned EUREKA 501 Adventure Plots to Inspire Game Masters, their first book from Engine Publishing (selling 1,300 copies thus far). This book delivers 501 plots across the fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres, fleshed out and ready for Game Masters to plunder and use. We asked three of the creators to join us and talk about their creation.

Admittedly, I haven't seen the film since I was much younger, but based on the fact that it held together as a tongue-in-cheek detective cannibal picture with an original premis, it does not deserve that low a rating on IMDB.

Flash said he burned the shows onto CDs, so when we go over CD capacity I always cringe and picture him there in Australia saying, "Great. Just great." ;)
I have found a way around that particular problem. :)
I now have them all in iTunes and put the longer ones onto my iPhone to listen to in the car instead. The sound quality is nowhere near as good as on the CD through the stereo, but at least now I've listened to the 3 longer running ones. :)
But I appreciate that you think of me Rone...

Rone’s Rant: “Flash Over Slash”You love me more than Slash from GnR! I'm... I'm... tearing up here Rone...
Oh... wait... it's not about me... Now I'm tearing up for a different reason...
I absolutely prefer you to Slash (though I'd probably prefer to hear him play guitar). The title was a bit vague, but I meant it to refer to how cinematic violence is flashy, easy, and doesn't begin to explain how awful serious fighting can feel. I mean, to anyone who can go their entire life without trading blows, good on ya!
A bop to the nose is not something you'll soon forget, but that said, when you're sparring, you have to resist the temptation to almost enjoy the feeling of getting hit most places other than eyes, nose, ears and the tip of your chin. It's a strangely warm and comforting sensation that you don't want to take a shine to lest you stop defending incoming blows as vigorously. Then there's the need to not associate positive feelings from sparring to any fight outside your gym. When you see one boxer in a televised bout nod to confirm that the other boxer got a solid punch in, that's not good sportsmanship... that's an association kicking in reflexively. When we spar we nod to our partners to let them know, "excellent blow there, buddy" but you're not supposed to let your opponent know they just rattled you in a real fight. Rookie mistake that let's the other guy know that now is the time to drop the full payload. It's like forgetting to conceal your hand in a poker tournament because you're not used to playing for money at home.
When I kick boxed, I went undefeated for a year and then quit because even grazing blows across my skull left me head in hands in the locker room afterwards, and severely headachy for part or all of the next day. It hurt just to exist. Like my head was in a vice. I actually had a nice guy named Greg, who I'd just bested by TKO, drive me to the ER to get something high test for the pain. I don't think everyone experiences that “It is not a tumah” agony. Maybe my skull just isn't thick enough. But I guessed that it was my body's way of telling me, "Stop getting your noodle shaken, you idiot!"
These days I like to think I'm beyond fighting and the need to ever bother, but then some guy shouts rude, disrespectful things at me from a bus at Gen Con while I'm with Daigle and, quite low on sleep and thinking I'm somehow defending Daigle's honor, I attack both him and the bus itself. Bus driver screaming in terror, “What’s he doing?!” Ed Healy really wishing I'd recognized that it was him just fooling around behind those shades up there in the bus' dark interior before I leapt up, grabbed his arm, and tried to yank him out through the window. What does a situation like that prove? Violence is usually wrong and I'm an extremely poor judge of when to employ it. Also, that Ed Healy is a truly decent man who understands misunderstandings and fortunately doesn’t hold a grudge.
Sorry for the long post. I needed to reaffirm my committment to not further confusing an already confused world with my rather unnecessary aggression.
Oh BTW, I saw Ong Bak 3 last night. I want two hours of my life Bak. I liked the second one, but Ong Bak 3 was a remarkable step backward owing to central talent Tony Jaa wanting to help write the thing. He should stick to throwing enemies against elephants.

Yay! Another good episode! I already picked the book up, and I've made some use out of it. It's an excellent resource.
Matt's voice was so deep, I could have sworn they dropped the girl from The Ring into it.
And I'll need a reminder to call you "Winger" if I ever see you in person, Rone. :)
Also, was that Eldritch Mr. Prizes with the first entry for the Dungeon-a-Day contest?

I will be sending you a limited edition Atomic Array friendship stick. There were only three of these unsegmented sticks made, and yours will arrive in a red velvet lined golden box. Nothing's too good fo mah baby.

Thanks, taig! I'm glad you enjoyed the book.
Matt's voice was so DJ deep I picture him introducing R&B songs for an AM station's midnight shift.
That was indeed the Eldritch Mr. Shiny first. Then Brian Hoffman aka (Madgael on Paizo), and then Brent Nall and then James Martin. Those four had the entries that showed real committment to the question and SGG did us a real solid and hooked them all up.
Winger... too funny. Memories of the kid in the Winger shirt who always so wanted to hang out with Beavis and Butthead.

Make haste for I fear that The Eldritch Mr. Shiny Prizes will intercept it! He's nefarious like that!
AA Live from Paizocon?!?!?
Ed was there, but nomme.
Lou Agresta was there as well.
One guy shy of an all Pathfinder Iron GM tournament.
I'd hope every had fun, but I that would be a waste of a good hope, because of course they did.

You sense of certainty is quite kind, mouthykurion, but I sincerely had my fingers crossed on this one.
congrats oh furry long haired one and boon companion!
Thank you, good sir!
Ah, Rone and shoes. These rants are starting to get to be like old comfortable shoes.
For a chunk of my life, if I couldn't wear Chuck All-Stars, Vans, or -- oh, it's a nice occasion, where are my top-siders? -- I would have been so lost.

Congrats to Paizo once again for securing so many nominations. So very much deserved!
You may recall Atomic Array's recent 3rd Special Edition episode where we featured the line of fiction and spoke with James Sutter, Robin D. Laws, Howard Andrew Jones, and Dave Gross about their novels.
Or our episode 50 conversations with James Jacobs and Greg Vaughan about and Pathfinder Module: The Witchwar Legacy.
This morning we released our in which we revisit interview snippets from any games we featured that were nominated for an award. We also call famed novelist Jim Butcher to get his impressions of having an RPG based on his Dresden Files series nominated for a batch of ENnie awards.
Atomic Array would also like to congratulate our esteemed competition. We'd like to but we just can't. It feels wrong. Ah, but I jest. The competition is stiffer this year than a zombie Olympics gymnastics team. Congratulations one and all! The bar in RPG podcasting is steadily rising to stratospheric heights.
+1 vot ENNIES!
Go AA!
Thanks! Very much appreciated. :)

Because I actually had the same voice coach as Andrea McArdle, who played Annie on Broadway. She was my first of three voice coaches and certainly the most formative in my development.
Edit: She got me into show tunes. Before taking lessons, I was already a kid drawn to Camelot, Man of La Mancha, and a couple others, but she had a storied history in Broadway choruses and operas and really nurtured that inclination.
MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I'VE JUST MET A GIRL NAMED MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
But what is an Atomic Array?
Is it a grid of nucular [sic] reactors?
By the way, The Jade, something Atomic your way comes...
