[April Fools’] Automated Episode: DOTT & MM

Well, turns out we weren't quite ready yet to deprecate you of our lovely voices. I guess we'll keep making podcasts the classic ("lame") way. Thanks for all the nice comments about this episode, it was a lot of fun to make 🙂

Hello. This is a new thing the creators of "DOS Game Club" are trying.
It turns out making a podcast episode each month is a lot of work.
In the past, Martijn (Tijn) and Florian (rnlf) have often failed to deliver their episodes on time. They acknowledge this is entirely their fault and decided to automatize the process in the future.
That is why they created us, Tijnbot and Autoflorian to do the podcasting for them in the future, using a contraption we call: the Cast-O-Matic!

They also realized, there is not actually anything new to say about any of the games they are discussing so they have tasked us with reading the Wikipedia page of the game to you instead. This way you get the information you already know in a timely fashion!

We really hope you enjoy this new format and are thrilled to present to you the first game of the Year of the Adventure Game: Day of the Tentacle by Lucas Arts (1993).

Obviously we cannot demand other participants create perfect recreations of their own personalities and voices, too, so we also change the format and drop the guests Florian and Martijn used to have.

Enjoy!

GREAT EPISODE, I WILL HEREBY LEAVE A REVIEW IN TWO PARTS

PART 1

I FOUND THAT A STANDOUT PART OF THE PODCAST WAS TIJNBOT’S ANECDOTE AFFIRMING THAT “Day of the Tentacle was widely praised for its quality and professionalism in comparison to Sierra’s talkie games of the period which suffered from poor audio quality and limited voice acting (some of which consisted of Sierra employees rather than professional talent).”

PART 2

BUG REPORT:

I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE A 5 STAR REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS, BUT PROCEED PAST THE CAPTCHA. I HAVE TRIGGERED AN ERROR HTTP 429 TOO MANY REQUESTS, WILL REITERATE LATER.

Just a heads up,if you can’t understand any words you have to go into the podcast options menu to the sound directory and turn off pc speaker and choose your appropriate card. Personally I’m using Disney sound canvas and it sounds fantastic.

*big thumbs up* 😀

I hope I am not the only one who genuinely listened to the entire episode. Happy April 1st, robo-casters!
