Program B Episode 14: Doom’s Longevity

On September 25, 2013, in , by alfonzo

Episode 14 of Program B is a discussion on longevity in Doom. Approaching our favourite FPS’s 20th anniversary, it seems appropriate to once again ponder why the game has continued to thrive both within and without the immediate community these last few years. Can we envision this success to continue further down the line? Sideshow Pavera takes part once again in what turns out to be a very thought provoking chat!

Where’s All the Data? BTSX and Favillesco

On September 21, 2013, in , by alfonzo

> Declares each Where’s All the Data? podcast to feature at the beginning of each month.
> Releases episode 6 on the 22nd of September.
> Has no regrets.

This month sees Sideshow Pavera sitting down with TTV’s two most blathering co-hosts to review BTSX and Favillesco. It’s a damn sight longer than the other episodes in the series at 40 minutes in length, so you can expect some truly impassioned arguments to be made about the projects, with many in response to wider community feedback.

Interview with RottKing

On September 15, 2013, in , by alfonzo

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when the word RottKing appears on screen? Is it the International Doom League, perhaps? Double Impact? Images of a strong and confident mountain lion padding down a luxury sofa? With a voice like freshly squeezed ambrosia crashing through a rugged landscape, one might be forgiven for thinking that the enigmatic King of the Triad is actually the second coming of Christ…

…But this is Tango TV, and we don’t interview frauds.

Program B Episode 13: Storytelling in Doom

On September 6, 2013, in , by alfonzo

Guess who’s back. Back again.

Tell all of your friends.

Episode 13 of Program B is a discussion on storytelling in Doom, featuring Xaser Acheron (of Yor) in addition to your regular co-hosts Tarnsman and Alfonzo. What is the importance of storytelling in a game like Doom, and what are the different ways in which you can employ a narrative or sense of progression? Does the use of source ports allow for story to be used convincingly as the central focus of a mapset? Does Alfonzo really have no idea what anime is, or is he just pulling your leg? All this and more!

Program B Episode 12: Speedrunning

On August 20, 2013, in , by alfonzo

Cavort! Your traditionally post-fortnight Program B episode has finally arrived, and this week we take a look at the hidden world of speedrunning! Together with Tarnsman and myself to discuss the topic are The Green Herring, dew, and Dime, who is prolific in the realm of RTS and formerly of Team Liquid. With this diverse and capable party of speedrunners, we move beyond the brass tacs to discuss some of the less immediate questions surrounding the subject. How does speedrunning impact the way you value a mapset? What’s the deal with void glides? How best do we reinvigorate the public interest in this speciality?

It’s all here in one 70 minute podcast. Don’t miss out!

Where’s All the Data? Realm of Chaos

On August 10, 2013, in , by alfonzo

Where’s All the Data?’s 5th episode is a 10 minute review of Realm of Chaos, a 1996 megawad created by The Macintosh Team. Much like the WAD folks who remark on the mapset in question, however, I have nothing left to comment and will retire now to dinner.

On August 4, 2013, in , by alfonzo

Good tidings I bring from Doomradio.org! TangoTV’s Program B episode 11 is now in a state of existence and tearing up the airwaves to the tune of screaming fanatics! Join me and co-commentators Tarnsman and MTrop as we chat about receiving feedback with Capellan of Doomworld. What do you value most in feedback? Does it matter who it comes from? This is one of the most comprehensive episodes to date, and we wring the topic for all it’s worth.

It appears as though Where’s All The Data episode 4, which was to provide reviews for Stardate 20X6 and Monochrome Mapping Project respectively, never materialized in podcast form. Fortunately, though, we preserved the stream! What joy!

…And here’s Jimmy’s quality review, incorporating delicately the chords that were selected to summarize the reviews for this month.

Program B Episode 10: Project Leadership

On July 9, 2013, in , by alfonzo

Episode 10 is the first arbitrary milestone episode for Program B, and we celebrate with a discussion on project leadership and management with The Green Herring (CC4, CC3) and Esselfortium (That terrible mapset. Oh you know, the one that’s about going backwards in an X shaped Saturn or something). Although the episode is cut short due to Tarnsman unexpectedly being recruited to haul a TV through a building, some great measure of discussion is had on the merits of being a project leader, and all that comes with it. There’s also quite a bit of drama and shit-flinging.

Enjoy! And remember: “It just isn’t the same without Glaber Base 6.”
