Welcome to the first edition of Insert Game Here, another podcast about gaming.
In this, our first show, a minor technical difficulty caused problems with the recording process. That problem was that the host, John Bullock, also known as me, was not recorded. In the places where I spoke, only silence could be heard. This, you may think, is a big problem.
Not so!
You see, we recorded nearly two hours of material, so, in an effort to make up for my lack of technical abilities (read: the ability to press record) I have put together a podcast using only the conversations between Jonathan (aka Kam), Caleb and Carl. There are times where a conversation may seem to change course a bit abruptly, which will most likely be down to me having to edit my silences out, but, on the whole, I think it turned out well.
I choose to believe that this is because of my superior editing ability.
On the show, we cover What We’ve Been Playing, because all gaming podcasts do, and have a brief discussion on EA Online Pass’s.
Our main feature is a look at some of the games due to be released in the first quarter of 2011; Dead Space 2, Killzone 3, Dragon Age 2, Top Spin 4, Portal 2, Twisted Metal, Yakuza 4 and Duke Nukem Forever.
We finish up with a discussion on piracy, specifically the PS3 jailbreaking fiasco, as well as each choosing something we would like to burn!
This is a kind of test show, to gauge reaction, so if you would like us to make more of these, let us know, either by reviewing the podcast on your favourite podcast-listening software, commenting on the site, or emailing us at igh@drivebychicken.com.

Comments
You do realize that the podcast was 43 minutes. We recorded about an hour and a half. We had to cut a lot of silence where John was supposed to be talking. Conclusion? John talks too much.
