Podcasting: Bill and Ted’s Excellent Wannabe Adventure

So people I am only doing this to cement and force the hand of Ted into actually doing what Bill suggested a few weeks ago. So dear readers at some point in the near future we will have a podcast. The podcast will be for a recent computer game and hence will only be published on our sister site Lemontreemods.blogspot.com.

Anyhow what is a podcast I hear you say well here is the definition:

An online audio blog, made by people who typically sound like slightly camp nerds who most likely have no lives. It's pretty difficult to listen to one for more than about 5 minutes without laughing at them and then turning it off.

Oh cock that means I’m a geek and camp to boot….. how that marries with me being an out dated macho male for enjoying The Expendables. Oh dear society cannot decide what I am. This is terrible, what am I ever going to do.

I digress again, so yes podcasts. I suppose a podcast is a blog but of the audio kind. So this means that it’s the unknown audiophile’s version of a novel. Just like the blog a cheap way of publishing and getting free exposure in the hopes someone will notice you in amongst the masses of utter rubbish that get created. Does this mean we are reducing our attention spans by listening to trivial rubbish? Ah yes my attention span has drastically reduced because I am digressing again.

So here is a preview of the script for Bill and Ted’s Excellent Wannabe Adventure.

Bill: Welcome to our first joint games review. I am Bill Stalker coming to you from our Tal'darim studios

Ted: And I am Ted Raven. Today’s subject is a most serious review of Blizzard’s latest bestseller Starcraft 2

Bill: Spawn more Overlords

Ted: Bill how many times do I have to tell you be serious.

Bill: Sowry!

Ted: Clearly maturity is part of this review. After 12 years Blizzard have finally released the successor to Starcraft one of their bestselling games ever.

Bill: It is the start of a MOST EXCELLENT 3 part game.

Ted: Bill!

Bill: The first of the trilogy focuses on the terrans’ rampage through Middle Earth.

Ted: Bill!

Bill: OK OK. Anyway this is a classic RTS game with a bit of point and click and 8 bit goodness.

Ted: They have …. Blah Blah Blah

*sometime later*

Bill: Stalkers

Ted: Bill!

Bill: Well it was getting boring, it’s supposed to be a joint review not a monologue for the death and blind.

Ted: I will never do another podcast with you again!

Bill: Your off topic. EPIC FAIL!

Ted: And so ends a MOST EXCELLENT podcast review of Starcraft review.

As you can all see the script is a little rough round the edges and is certainly not funny; Will and Grace is funnier, even Friends allows for more humour. But as many people it is something we must try one, or twice until such a time as we have burned out everyone’s headphones.
