We also continue our discussion of MLAndersen0, covering the next four videos: “The Alley”, A Message from Shaun, Video Journal #8: Alone, and Eric Returned.

Joining Rand, AnimeGuy, and John this week are two new voices. First is Milo, our first international co-host, as he hails from Australia. Also joining, albeit just to listen in on our insightful commentary, is DarkHarvest00’s own Brendon, who now helps write for the series, and plays Daniel Shipman.

As a side note, in postproduction, I had to edit out my summary of Marble Hornets Entry #66. However, I saved it off as a separate file, which you can download here.

Marble Operator 57: Interview with Adam Rosner

Part One
Part Two

On this week’s episode, we interview the creator of Tribe Twelve, Adam Rosner. Kaitlyn, John, AnimeGuy, Rion, and Nicole join Rand for the interview, and discuss all sorts of Tribe Twelve topics. Thanks to Adam for joining us, it was fun. Tribe Twelve can be found here, on YouTube.

Just a note on why the episode was split into two: TalkShoe has a file upload limit of around 102 MB, and the total file size for the recording was 120MB. This necessitated a split.

I’ll see about posting the full interview at some point. It can’t be on the normal podcast feed, given the file size limitations. I’ll probably upload it to my public DropBox or something and link to it here.

Note: Here is the interview in full, one two-hour segment.

Friday Night Trivia: 100th Episode Spectacular!

This past Friday saw the 100th episode of Friday Night Trivia. Rand returned as main host, and three other occasional cohosts (Dave AC, Cobo4747, and Jeff 7thDoctor) joined in with their own rounds.

It was another night full of shenanigans. The episode started off somewhat silent, given that neither Darth Skeptical or Ian The6thDoctor were on. That soon changed, as both of them joined by the end of the show. How did things conclude? Who won? Well, you’ll just have to give it a listen.

Rounds include the return of “Odd Man Out”, “Notable Years (20th Century)”, as well as some new material from the guest hosts. Episode run-time is 2:27:55.
