so I am listening to this and I have no idea who is who. bitches need to identify themselves at the beginning

[negativedge]

guys Tekken has had its moments

[negativedge]

Rudie no one in Japan is good at Tekken

[Ghost Dinosaur]

[negativedge]

Fucking hell you bitches were talking about Wind Waker. THAT IS MY WHEELHOUSE

[Rud31]

Well the main narrator sort of dude is P1, I identify myself pretty early on*, boojiboy was the other active dude. Tulpa would be the guy that had more fuzz on his mic than everyone else, and eskaibo was the quieter one.

really excellent editing by B Coma too.

*-Basically if someone made a complete tangent, it was me.

well I figured you out obviously

[Rud31]

identifying ourselves got cut because we sort of all came in at different times.

Next week we definitely need to do that.

Does Pi have a real name yet?

[Rud31]

He didn't respond when I asked how to say his name.

B coma, what are your audio concerns?
_________________

[another coma]

the audio was actually pretty manageable this time around, just a couple of little things.

The gain settings all around were much better. when I got the audio, I would describe the spectrum as being from lowest to highest as:
booji (way too quiet but acceptable/fixable) -> pi/tulpa (great setting don't change!) -> felix -> rudie (on the edge of almost too loud, but still fine)

My serious suggestion is this: since for the foreseeable future we are going to have a revolving cast, I think that Pi should do a brief test recording once everyone is in the room to gauge how levels are being picked up in the recording. just have people introduce themselves. it doesn't have to be perfect, just listen to it once and give some feedback based on what you hear. if you listen to the raw audio of this one it only takes a few seconds of putting your ear on it to hear that Booji needed to be boosted and Rudie could have come down a bit.

Pi - you sound a million times better with the new mic, just avoid breathing into the diaphragm if you can. it's less noticeable in the edited version because I cleaned it up quite a bit, but you had some really frequent blasts of ugly breath noise, during certain words and especially during the bits where you would laugh. you wanna keep the mic close to your mouth, just not in the path of where you breathe! angle it in from the side somehow.

anyway that's all! is there a theme yet?

So basically be more critical. I did a little bit of playback and I noticed I was loud and lowered it a little, but people said "oh you're a little loud, but fine."

Guys, I'm not getting this out the way I want: Back to the topic of subversion: Cave Story is a game. Yes. Cave Story is made to be a game. Yes. Cave Story is a game where you are cleverly made to play a game by playing a game. It's a gamey game, is I guess what I'm trying to say. It's subversion, to say, is that it substitutes genre with the activity.

Wedging the idea into point: it's not a platformer game. It's a game game.

And uh, Deus Ex. It facilitates subverting of genre staples by giving you the option to not shoot, but instead to chat or to avoid, or whatever. But, the player never internally subverts the narrative, as the narrative is built around the possibility for multiple contingencies.
Which one could call a narrative subversion, as the standard understanding of the narrative has been built around linearity. It's the same effect of introducing 'choose your own adventure' books to the literary canon.

What is this, TVtropes? I don't know how appropriate subversion is as a term in this discussion.

Did anyone mention Twinsen's Odyssey? You go to the moon in Twinsen's Odyssey. If you get a game over the moon destroys your planet.
