Episode #29 w/OXM is up

[DeaconBlade]

I just wrapped up the show with Dan and Ryan from the Official Xbox Magazine for Episode #29. I'll be posting it tomorrow. They touched on a lot of hot topics right now including the OXM Points fiasco, OXM Universe and how they rate games....among other things...

I just wanted to give you all a head's up for tomorrow's show!

Great show, I listened to it while I went through TMNT.

[Sirharper]

The points thing was just as I suggested happened.

BTW...like I said...Crackdown rates a 7. ;)

Deacon, where were you seeing that OXM was biased in their ratings? I have always agreed with them except with making GoW a 10. Should have been more like a 9.5.

[DeaconBlade]

you don't read message boards? there's always talk about the "official" magazine being a bunch of Xbox fanboys. i've never personally thought it...but so goes the talk on the interweb.

i'm glad you guys are enjoying the show though. :coolguy:

[Sirharper]

Eh, I've never thought they were fanboys. As keeper of the official fanboy database I would know. I've seen them flat out blast MS before (like about the points system).

[big isy]

Not sure about the US OXM guys but the UK ones are downright bastards lol. They'll slate MS if they done something wrong. There's always a slight bias though, to be expected I guess.

[ExOtIc FaNtAsY]

Thanks for the great interview Deacon.....Hopefully they will let you be on there show someday

[DJSteel]

finally got to listen to it.. sounds good.. what type of format do you follow normally?

[DeaconBlade]

what do you mean? show wise? or file/recording wise?

[DJSteel]

like this episode was mostly an interview... do you follow a certain format with what issues you bring up??

[DeaconBlade]

nah man...me, personally, i always go unscripted ;) meaning one take, one shot. so far, i've been good at simply having a natural flow of coversation on the show.

when i don't have a guest lined up though, i usually talk about what you guys have been doing in the community and other things that might come up...demos, big news...unscripted nights etc.

but my flow is an unexpected one so to speak meaning i don't lay it all out...i do have a guideline of what i want to talk about each show but the delivery of it i usually let the flow take control of.

some guests though might have something beforehand that they don't want me to ask or talk about etc...i get with them before the show to make sure i don't cross any lines :lol:

[DJSteel]

cool.. this episode was really the first I listened to.. before I couldn't get the iTunes to work on it..

[DeaconBlade]

nice...well iTunes should be squared away now...but just make sure you subscribe in iTunes using that link i posted on the first page of this thread. you should be A+ with that.

[DJSteel]

i got that down..it checks daily for new ones.

[DeaconBlade]

yep...i try to get a show up per week but of late my scheduling has been off center with other things coming up....now though, i'm back on my regular schedule...:coolguy:

you should come on the show man and talk about the 360 or what not...i mean if you're not afraid of the mic :lol:

[DJSteel]

i'm not afraid of the mic.. I mean cmon..you played me in games..lol

[DeaconBlade]

haha right....well i'll try to set up a roundtable soon.

[DJSteel]

Mr. "My daughter picked up the controller and played a down in 2k5 for me"

[DeaconBlade]
