As I posted on Savygamer, I wanted to share my dreadful (and not serious) suggestions:
- "Savyinformer"
- "Computer Using Northerners Talk Savy" The abbreviation may be an issue however.
- "Deals, diatribes and digressions" (Because everyone loves alliteration and it isn't at all tacky)
- "Buy Gamers, for gamers" because you do bargains which people "buy". Gettit? Or if you get another two people involved you could have:
- "Buy Gamers, four gamers".
I'll get my coat.
I think CUNTS would be a brilliant name for this podcast.

Merchant: Is that all?
Merchant: Welcome stranger.
Merchant: Got some rare things on sale... stranger.
Merchant: What're ya buying?
Merchant: What're ya selling?
Merchant: Ah... I'll buy it at a high price.
Merchant: [Laughs] Thank you.
Merchant: Come back anytime.
Merchant: [after buying the Magnum] It's not just about shooting, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Merchant: [selling the Broken Butterfly] I see you have an eye for things! A gun's not just about shooting, it's about reloadin'. You'll know what I'm talking about.
Merchant: [selling the Handcannon] Stranger, haha! What d'ya need that for? Going huntin' an Elephant?
Merchant: [selling the Red 9] Ah! The choice of an avid gun collector. It's a nice gun, stranger!

Oh yeah, Lewie's mum is definitely going to want to talk on that.
Also, good shit Lewie. I listened to it a couple of days ago but forgot to post my support for ya. :^:
"If one of us ever comments again about how a game is bad on a PC because the mouse and keyboard isn't as good as a controller, you can beat us to death, for free, anytime."
Was that in reference to Geometry Wars? In that case it's perfectly true.

Sent my entry - I recommended Half Off Thoughts. Very nice podcast BTW - even though release dates/deals wouldn't apply to me I still found it to be a great listen. I look forward to future updates!
Edit: Guess they're sticking with SavyGamer Podcast as a title - oh well, here's hoping to win the prize anyways - I could use a new import DS game...
The regular SavyGamer RSS feed is now compatible with podcasts or something (Willeth understands this far better than I)
Basically, if you out the SavyGamer RSS feed into iTunes, it will do podcasts...
Edit: I am really excited about this weeks podcast.
That doesn't help if you want to use an RSS reader and get just the podcast.
I'm considering setting up a different feed just for the podcast, but unless I'm misunderstanding it considerably I'll need to start a separate blog to call it from. I'm not exactly against that, but it's a hassle. If enough people want that functionality then sure.
The current feed is iTunes compatible and will download the podcast and nothing else. The feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/savygamer and you add it through the Advanced menu, under Subscribe to Podcast. It's not on the iTunes Store yet because they want my credit card info even though I'm not going to buy anything. If anyone knows if I can do it without this let me know - I'm going to ring Apple on Monday.

If they just want a credit card number (and not charging anything) I'll stick it up if you want. Every other fucker in the world has it, don't see why apple should be an exception.
Thanks, but Ill see how I get on on the phone first. Anyway:
The new episode is up! This week, we have a special guest interview with Jonathan Blow, the man behind Braid for Xbox Live Arcade, and Lewie's mum makes an appearance, along with all the stuff you expect.
Exciting stuff!

Cause then at the end you can say see you next tuesday and it fits in with the name.
oho
Actually, I kinda agree in that there are a lot of really good podcasts that get released on thurs-fri, and basically none that get released on a monday-tuesday.

'Mummy's Minute' needs a catchy radio jingle. :P
Great show, how did you manage to get the interview?
You should've asked Jonathan "Do you think Microsoft are a bunch of greedy bastards?".
I can just imagine the response, he seems like an honest guy.
Hey Willeth, if you want I can send you a text file and you can basically just fill in anything you might need. I spent a good whole week figuring out the feed/iTunes stuff and I think I have it pretty much figured out.
If you have some webspace, it makes it 1000X easier.
Nope. Not as far as I am concerned (having not played it yet myself)
Thanking you! Though I might avoid it till I've finished it anyway (as I'm now on black out from info and threads and that - as it's lovely - and I want to play it raw - unlike Portal which I new almost everything about before I played) So I'll give this a listen next week.
I'll give it a listen on my trip to Manchester next Tuesday folks as I too am loving Braid and don't want to hear anything about it till I've finished it.

How long you in Manchester for? Want to come round to the 'P' household for tea?

I'm there with work but there's no reason for me to rush off afterwards! Whereabouts you at in Manchester?
I'll be near the centre (Just a little off Deansgate) but I know way my way about a reasonable amount.

Lewie,do you guys need a german ubermensch voice to make your podcast more manly?
I could tell exotic news about the crazy world of videogames in Germany and how german voices make even the worst game into a funny b-movie experience.

OOOH, Lewie can be like "So I was playing this game where you killed a guy and his head came off and blood went everywhere"
and you can be like "wait, killed? Beheaded? BLOOD?"
And everyone can laugh at your crazy German censorship.

So yeah, 2 'casts in, and I think things are going pretty well. We have a great interview set up for next week's show too.
I have a request for you guys now. The interviews we have got lined up have been via these boards. I know that there are a whole bunch of well connected people here.
If you, or you know anyone who works in the games industry (not so much journalism, I mean like development, publishing or retail), who would be A) Interesting to hear an interview of and Up for it, I would love it if you either PM me, or email me at lewiep at savygamer dot co dot uk with their contact details.
I think if we can keep the momentum going with these interviews, it could really set The SavyGamer Podcast apart from a lot of the other podcasts out there.

That theme music is just perfect... It's like the oncoming storm of Carboard Tube's/LewieP's Mum's Infracting Wrath...
"What're you buying, stranger?" etc.
Oh yeah, Lewie's mum is definitely going to want to talk on that.
Also, good shit Lewie. I listened to it a couple of days ago but forgot to post my support for ya. :^:

So just to check has this got spoilers in it?
2009 is a year of Updates - one every Monday. Hopefully. xx

It would go well with the liberals.
Urmston, right near the Trafford Centre. Bout 20 minutes on the train, or one of my parents could pick you up probably.
Send me a txt ;-)
... <.<
The interview was great, and that guy didn't beat around the bush much with his answers.
He only gives me 2 minutes, that would take several weeks worth of podcasts!
