For those who have the RGR Apps I have injected a bonus audio clip as a test.

Let me know how it goes.

Awesome, the John Sohl interview! Been waiting a long time for that one - hope it's good.

[Mr Johnson]

7+ hours! You guys are awesome! Thanks!

Hey Scott, I'm guessing you know this already but Fallout has a V.A.T.S (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) no aiming required. I have difficulty with these games too with a joystick controller (I'm a PC gamer) so I use it often. Furthermore, Fairy Sprinkles on Face Book is underrated ;^)

Downloaded tonight, hoping to give it a listen Friday morning, Saturday night, and finishing it Sunday. Live Chat was really entertaining, really wish I could make it in more often. Looking at the show notes, there's a ton of good segments this month.

Good stuff. I'm looking forward to the shop-out of the Computer Space. A few questions/comments (spoiler alert!):

1) Does anybody know what band is playing during the John Sohl interview?

2) Those were porno 8-tracks, right? F-in'g hilarious

3) Steve Kordek was interviewed a few years ago on TOPCast #23 (http://www.pinrepair.com/topcast/past.php). In addition, Norm Clark (the "other" Williams guy in the 60's) interviewed for #33, and Wayne Neyens (Gottlieb, 30's to 60's) is episode #30. These are probably my favorite three interviews because these guys started in the industry in the 1930's. Awesome stories and perspective.

4) Ben Heck not only finished the Bill Paxton pinball machine (he brings it to MGC every year), he has two more in the works. His latest pinball project is a partnership with John Papaduik. They had a whole presentation about prototyping a machine during MGC as well.

If you ever decide to make "Show Footnoter" a paid position, let me know. I seem to have a knack for it 8-)

The 5 second bonus clip in the app works for me btw

Another 150Mb podcast: do you have any idea how long I had to stand around at Starbucks looking like I was thinking of buying a pannini while my phone downloaded it using their "free-for customers" wifi? ;-)

In the end, I felt obliged to at least buy an Americano to avoid the stares!

[miner2049er]

You could have got the 16k version in a quarter of the time and avoided the expense of an Americano, but where's the fun in not being stared at?
