The Rotating Platform and Other Podcasts from the NGamer Chaps

I sent my choice in and it's the most obvious choice ever, but it had to be done.

Just finished listening to ep 6 & I absolutely loved the a cappella segment, as Greener (or was it Alan ) forgot how his went multiple times & I had a great laugh at Matthew celebrating by saying "We beat you! we beat you listeners, you gotta get up early in the morning to trick these......no, what's the phrase?"



I will try to catch up with ep 7 today so I don't miss out on sending my space ark suggestion yet again.

They give the genre on the website, so you don't need to listen to the podcast to find out.

Oh I know what the genre is I just want to be caught up before making my choice.

Only just caught up with 6; let's have a pact not to suggest really, really good games ever again.

Agreed. Glad I didn't mention BtB now.

I think we should all submit some Majora's Mask moon raps.  I've put one up on the site already.

EDIT: Just listened to the final bit of the podcast. Deary me, Andy. I want to hear more Space Ark fanfiction now.

Wow, "the eternal sleep of lava going down your windpipe" is both the most sinister thing that Greener has ever said and the funniest.

Really looking forward to their next outing!

I've said before that Matthew would make a great evil overlord, but now Greener's getting in on the act too.

I don't really feel comfortable, entrusting our games' future to three such callous individuals. One who talks about pouring lava down people's throats, one who cannot feel love, and... Matthew.

This has become a cornerstone of the Glasgow-Aberdeen bus home, and it's always laugh out loud funny. I listened to the latest podcast on my travels earlier, and the Greener quote fastpie has mentioned had me just about pishing myself.

How is it you get involved in The Space Ark? I've got nowt for survival horror but I'd like to contribute some other weeks.

You email/tweet/facebook them, unfortunately I missed this week

I just wrote a review for the podcast on iTunes. A review that was far too long, and took time away from what I should have been writing. Do Apple have to approve it before it appears on the page? Because it seems to have disappeared when I pressed "submit".

That could be someting they need to sort out; apparently a review that somebody else submitted didn't appear.

I've manage to catch up now, brilliant stuff as expected, much like Cap I've been laughing out loud on public transport, I was even worried that it may have caused trouble at one point as I laughed whilst I was looking at someone.

Strangely my favourite part of the podcast seems to be the descriptions of the platforms, the rotations and the space ark rather than the actual gaming talk. It also shows how they still have that power to make me want games, in particular I really want Shadow of Mordor and Shadow Complex right now and I'm finally gonna make time to get around to playing Ghost Squad.

Also caught up! The seventh one wasn't quite as good as the previous ones for me - probably because poor Matthew was so tired. Sad to hear about the mad complexity of LEGO Batman 3, too; it seems we're destined never to get a game like LEGO City Undercover again.

Annoyed on how long were waiting for EP8 a they recorded it on Tuesday to go Thursday and still not up.

Editing can take time & they could be busy with other work or they already perished in the event. #ITBEGINS (it's clones who are on the space ark)

A wild podcast appeared, minus some Space Ark apparently, hoping that means I can actually submit my suggestion now...

They're doing it for free, letting us download it for free, they all have proper games journalism jobs to do as well, and (as shown above) there can be recording problems. And they said right from the start that the release schedule might be sporadic. That sort of comment seems more than a bit entitled to me.

Also,

Yeh, it pissed me off too. Ass holes. I don't think ill bother listening if they keep pulling shit like this.

Calm down guys they've explained why it was late, I just really wanted to listen to the podcast. I enjoy listening to it on a Friday morning and didn't have it to listen this week which was disappointing.

Looking forward to giving this a listen on my work journey tomorrow, annoyingly I still can't think of a decent suggestion for survival horror on the space ark, I suppose the space ark in itself is survival horror.

It was more aimed at Balla whom was excellent in his musical bit.

I'm sorry Mas, but I just don't think there's anything to be annoyed about bar your own expectations.  And especially when Matthew sometimes comes on the site, it therefore seems harsh to suggest that you're annoyed with the TRP team.

Thank you for the kind words about my singing, though: to clarify, the facepalms above were directed at myself, getting the DKCTF song names muddled up. But a Smooth McGroove comparison is high praise!

Episode 8 also made me realise just how much of the podcast Space Ark actually takes up - it's about half the runtime.  Had me laughing out loud as always, though, especially at the 100% True Facts.  18th-century French technology would explain a lot, especially if they had to draw each of those 30fps individually with a quill.

100% has got to be y favourite segment, the Majora's Mask one in particular really had me chuckling.

Your singing voice reminded me of that of the lead singer of White Lies, very posh.

Wow, nobody's ever called me posh before!
