Episode Five: Help

Sweet new episode up, thanks Robert

Thank goodness.

Yeah! Awesome.

Thank you sir. I hope that you reap a financial reward for these soon.

Excellent, this makes me look forward to my commute tomorrow! Seems like a fun topic too.

Ashley, any word on the status of Out of the Game?
Cheers, keep up the good work!

Great way to start the Thanksgiving break!

I absolutely love that poster. I can’t wait to hear the episode!

awesome =-)) excited for the poster too

Podcast and posters woo but the 5th one is $15 more. The sheer coolness of it won me over though.

@Lee This poster is also twice the size, it’s 18×24 instead of the usual 12×16, so well worth it! Like you said, the sheer coolness of it wins over all. Still hanging out for poster 2 though, damnit.

Bravo! Great as always. Thanks for making my day.

You’ve made my last day of a two week vacation the stuff dreams are made of.

We just got your podcast listed at The Podcast Bunker. Great quality and great content. Just what we are always looking for. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for another podcast Robert. I know they’re very hard to create.

Finally another episode of my favorite podcast!

Great episode as usual. Have a good Thanksgiving Robert!

Weak spot / another word for coin slot!

Amazing episode as usual. Loved the Steve Ritchie interview.

Really love when you talk to devs like this.

Desert Bus segment was great too.

hurray, I know it wont disappoint.

Podcast downloaded, poster purchased! Excellent start to the holiday weekend.

Another thoroughly enjoyable episode, and another facet of gaming and gamers. Gotta love the idea behind the Desert Bus for Hope (wow are they doing well this year), and I am a Williams pinball fan. Not playing games for a year, though… I rearranged my schedule in order to fit more games into it, so what do I know? Thanks for all the work, it’s appreciated. It’s also seeing me through more geeky craft projects.

(And my mother, who’s never really played a game in her life? A fan of this show. And she wants a DS. Score.)

I was stuck at work and now the poster is sold out???

robert is pure dope, these shows are just getting better… in awe of the editing // nice site redesign btw

I don’t know if this has ever been suggested, or is ever likely to actually happen, but I think “A Life Well Wasted”/Area 5 crossover could be one of the greatest things to ever happen.

Just throwing it out there.

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!

Oh no! The posters are sold out! I’ve been waiting for this one for weeks… Guess I’ll have to be content with the podcast.

another great episode, Bobitto! Can’t wait for that poster, so good. Perhaps for those who couldn’t order on time, a re-issue would be cool.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Have another reprint of these posters! I waited forever for one and then they were sold out…

Is they any chance of more posters been made. I want one, but was too late. WHY 200? WHY NOT 400?!

There are all sorts of things that go into deciding a # for a limited print run. Production costs, sales price point, collectability, etc. My guess is that based on the sales rate of the previous posters, 200 looked like a good amount. But like Robert said, Olly simply hit a home run with this one, and it was gobbled up much quicker.

Man I just found out that the new episode is up, wish I was in time for the poster, but oh well. I hope the next poster will be better or just as good. Can’t wait to listen to the episode!

Poster sold out really fast! Second printing please!

Please Please Please do a second run of that poster, it’s amazing and I’m sure you’ll sell out again!

As much as I wish these came out more often, they are always worth the wait. Awesome stuff, made my Thanksgiving that much better.

Another great episode. They remind me of a radio show on the CBC, only about topics I can easily connect with. Thank you.

Thinking about a reprint in a different color. We’ll see.

PLEASE DO! A second run of the posters that is. God had i only pre-ordered huh?

at last!

great interview with Steve ritchie. If pinball people fit your profile: check thepinballblog.com. lots of other pinballindustrypeople there. As a pinball loving dance music producer / DJ my life is well wasted too

really great episode, robert. the interview with steve ritchie exalts the imagination … genuinely really inspiring.

you mentioned at the end of the show that you were after some new subject matter. I think an episode on the market and methods of video games could potentially be pretty interesting. you could research HOW and WHY people make and sell games. it would be pretty interesting to hear about how both the independent scene and the corporate scene operate. maybe even how certain methods have inspired “video-game revolution” … in the form of art maybe … you could track down some indie developers pretty easily.

anyway, that’s what I’d be interested in, even though it probably doesn’t help you much.

Oh rats man, the second I saw that poster I immediately looked to the merch section. That sold out ridiculously quick. If it’s financially feasible I would love a reprint of that. In the same color if that’s okay.

Reprint! I have been checking for the poster to come up for days! Now they’re all gone

But a reprint would dilute the value to those of us who were diligent and paid our $40 to get one of the 200 originals Just like with limited edition books, I’d be upset if I went through the trouble to ensure I got my copy, and then the publisher decides to release another 10,000 copies after the fact.

@Eric: We definitely want to keep the ALWW posters special, so we’re not going to run out and mass manufacture a thousand copies. If we do a reprint, it will be in a completely different color scheme, and it will be a small run, like the first.

I need to strike a balance between keeping the posters special and giving people a decent chance to have one, if they want one.

Also, selling more posters means potential gains for the show. I could maybe afford to travel somewhere for a really cool interview, etc.

Yes a reprint would be awesome, I’m sad that I missed out.

Having the poster for rarity only is like saying candy can only be enjoyed by children. I can understand not printing a whole lot but if the demand is overwhelming, why not satisfy the fans with a great poster. Not reprinting would only be a shame as not everyone has the same chance in getting one the hour the podcast comes out.

A reprint would give others the opportunity for a great poster, would produce more income (however little that may be), and would spread the word for Robert and Olly, potentially get more people to listen.

I was referred to this podcast by a friend and all he gave me was the preview of the 5th episode poster.

I understand the need to keep things special, but man that blows.Besides we all know that the people who bought the original one will probably go and buy the second run as well.

Great episode Mr Ashley. Just wish the poster wasn’t sold out Please do a reprint and email me FIRST!!!!

Came here from Desert Bus for Hope. Expected it to be just another gamer interviewing people and just posting essentially the raw audio. I was /blown away/ by the production quality. It’s very much like NPR’s This American Life or Radio Lab but with stories about geeks.
Great job!

just wondering, how soon will the posters ship? thanks!
