Tech Olive

You heard that right, folks. We’re finally digging out the microphones again and will be OliveCasting this weekend. We’ll be discussing some site news and catching you up on what we’ve been up to in our personal lives, as well as talking about speculations on the upcoming Portal 2. If there’s anything specific you want us to talk about, hit us up in the comments!

We don’t have an exact time on when the podcast will be up, but we can assure you it will be posted up before the weekend’s end!

It’s been almost a week since Modern Warfare 2 has released. We’ve taken these past few days to play some MW2 as hard as we can and now we come to you to give you the lowdown.

(Please report any technical issues you experience with the podcast. We’re still working out kinks.)

Hosts: Craig Lloyd, Tim Hage, Andrew Kershaw
Intro/Outro Music: Girl Talk – What It’s All About

For our (less than) regularly scheduled podcast, we all piled onto Skype and awaited Craig to begin the conference call. A few minutes later, I get word from Craig notifying me that he could not record that night and the the OliveCast would need to be rescheduled. Andrew decided that the OliveCast waits for no man and because Craig is always laying down the “lol,” we recorded without him. Welcome to the OliveCast #4.5.

In this podcast, we rant about L4D2 details, MW2‘s lack of dedicated servers, Starcraft 2‘s lack of LAN and just about everything else that we plain don’t like. We also ramble on about many things that you probably don’t care about. Those who do not wish to hear biased opinions should look away now.

Hosts: Tim Hage, Andrew Kershaw
Intro Music: Cool Cavemen – Fusion
Outro Music: Weebl – Amazing Horse (Get On My Horse)

If you didn’t notice, we completely rebranded our podcast and officially named it the OliveCast for now on. We think it’s quite fitting. Join us for this 4th installment of banter about the tech and gaming world’s most recent happenings. We talk about Modern Warfare 2 (again), Chrome 4.0 beta, Verizon’s ad campaign and lots more.
