A good episode gentleman. I enjoy the candid conversations that you all have, its nice to see and hear opinions that are coming from you off the top of your head vs. something scripted. I do think that the tales from the store segment should be extended a little bit, I could see it being something a lot of people who don't actually get to go to Digital Press really enjoying.
What I would like is for there to be musical interludes between segments and for the backdrop to change by segment. The arcade machines are great, but seeing them for the whole duration of the show was tedious. Also, the musical cues will let audio-only listeners know in another way when segments change.
For example, each time you switch to another show segment you could play a power-up sound effect. 1UP mushroom, Sonic ring, you name it. You could even have a different one each time.
For the visuals, just rotate around. Start with the arcade machines, then the island in the middle of the store, then the game racks, perhaps the display cases afterward, and finally (for the last segment) the exit of the store.
And try to get those lapel mics higher up! They're called "lapel mics" because they're supposed to be situated on the speakers' lapels (or near a shirt equivalent location). Joe and some others sounded fine, but Frankie's mic was too far from his mouth and thus he was difficult to hear.
That's a great idea about the musical interludes. I had a some technical problems with the mics this episode, and had to do lots of work in post to "correct" them. Hopefully the next one won't have those problems.

Awesome!
Kinda unrelated but I forgot to ask after the previous episode, got any details on the (assumed) MAME driving setup in that Pole Position cabinet? Being a person that MAME'd one myself at one point, I'd love some information. Looks like it uses a four position reverse N Atari shifter instead of the standard single button hi / lo.

Stonic made that masterpiece if you have any technical questions.
I do believe it is a 4 way N shifter (it's 4 way for sure ... the "siren" buttons are mapped to the thing in A.P.B. and interrogations are a serious stick-waggle chore along the lines of a Mario Party mini game).

Really sorry about the hiatus. The next episode will be coming soon.
That's good to hear, I am enjoying it so far. I don't know how I made it through the Wappy Dog episode though, that was a bit much.

Wappy Dog is the truth. The alpha and the omega.
