Comments on: overcast #010 http://theovercast.com/overcast010/ An approxi-weekly machinima-themed podcast by Overman featuring discussion, reviews, and comedy related to machinima: real-time animated films made with video game technology.

Great episode as usual, and great to hear Ben's voice again. Charlie Stross lives in Edinburgh, and is actually a big machinima fan. He's one of the creative consultants on BloodSpell, and has a cameo in one of the early episodes as a guard who gets horribly killed. And yes, he's a frighteningly intelligent man.

Thank you, I hate the word Machinimist. Was great to hear you Ben! Great point about letting things go its natural way... made me think about things. cd yea, that was me. Unfortunately I've been swamped with a lot of stuff lately and haven't been able to do much on this. I'll be putting up Diary of a Camper and Seal of Nehara (one of my faves!) up this week.

I'm happy to see that discussion on 'classic' machinima movies coming up. I'm trying to get them for my machinima lecture but failed so far. Just found only the demo files and couldn't get them to run on my Quake installation (have the free demo version and that seems to miss some files only available when you bought the game I guess). I had a thread on M.com a while a ago and someone offered to grab these 'classics' as video. But nothing happend so far. http://www.machinima.com/PHPBB/viewtopic.php?t=6694 The mentioned Seal of Nahara is at least referenced at M.com to be downloadable as DivX video, but the download says 'NO FILE HERE'. It would be great if someone could make those 'classics' available again for us who never had a chance to watch them so far. Great episode again.

I will forever refer to the masses in the genre now as "machinimators" vs. "machinimists". The reason for this, only due to the awesome sound effects that we've come to expect from you. lol ;) Eriyanna Myndflame[dot]com Loved the episode….

Days After was one of the selections indeed, good ear! Thanks so much for listening, and for your support. RE: Stross, I'm reading Accelerando right now, it's a mindbender. You betcha!

I'm glad you are finally able to get some interviews on the show and Ben is perfect guest. I loved his comment: "...strapping a rocket on your back, but you don't know how to use it because you just invented it" a great metaphor for how machinima should work. I wish more rockets were strapped to backs. Even against peoples will.. I want to go back and watch Diary and Ranger again. "Seal of Nahara" will definitely be on my list after Ben's comments. It is so interesting to hear him comment on having no yardstick to measure where we are. I've often felt the same way. Maybe it's at festival times (like the upcoming NY Fest) were we kind of take a look at what we are doing. Enjoyed the tech comments. You might also mention the Stage 6 video site that DivX has set up using their codec. You can go there via this link: http://stage6.divx.com/?divx2s6=videostopgap Not a bad alternative to the ubiquitous YT. Ive heard of Charles Stross, but haven't had the motivation to pick up one of his books. That's changed. Will definitely be reading him soon. Loved the music for this episode. Weaving it in the interview works great. Did I hear some Days After music in there? Thanks for another great show! Appreciate it. -gToon Excellent, enjoyable show, Overman.
