#oneaday Day 158: Good Conversation

We recorded another episode of The MoeGamer Podcast this weekend, and all being well it should be with you all to enjoy tomorrow sometime, depending on how long it takes to render and upload!

I've been really enjoying doing this podcast. It reminds me of the "good old days" back before the Internet turned to complete garbage, when my friends and I from the "Squadron of Shame" would convene semi-regularly for our discussions of various topics and specific games.

For the uninitiated, the Squadron of Shame was essentially a "gaming book club" of sorts. It span off from a discussion on a 1up Yours podcast from 1up.com and eventually became its own, surprisingly popular thing. We started a podcast towards the end of 1up.com's "first phase" of life — before it became a hollow shell of what it used to be, rather than before it closed altogether — and it was a highlight of my online "social calendar".

Sadly, for various reasons, all the members of the Squad have drifted apart over the course of the last ten years or so — which kinda bums me out a bit, because what I do with MoeGamer is exactly the sort of thing most of the Squad would have been into — but I'm left with both some fond memories, and some skills and experience that I've been able to carry forward into the new podcast.

I'm particularly grateful to my podcasting partner in crime, Chris, who has been consistently enthusiastic and dedicated to the cause of the podcast ever since we thought we'd just "try it out" more than a year ago now. I think we've got a pretty neat show, and I hope you enjoy it too!
