Welcome, listeners, to a another episode of Chip Damage Control, the official ChipDamage.com podcast. Recorded at the official Control Room of yayze’s secret lair.
This week, we finally get some peace and quiet, and a white board to better help us organize our time. How well does it workout? Well you’ll have to tune-in and find out!
In this episode we do the usual sharing of what we played over the last two weeks, how yayze is handling his sickness, and get the rundown on the podcast from the Pak-man himself!

Just going to offer a comment concerning the content of the podcast re:more local stuff vs whatever it is you guys prefer to do.
As it stands you guys are focusing the majority of the podcast on tech or games and your thoughts on said subjects. From what I can see that has little to do with chipdamage. I was under the impression that a chipdamage podcast would cover more aspects of….well….chipdamage. Now I don't really have an issue with the current content but I understand why some would prefer more actual chipdamage content. I would like to address the idea that having more chipdamage content limits your potential demographic. As it stands random tech and game ramblings appeal to how many listeners? Not that many I would guess.(if you are getting a massive amount of hits the you can ignore my suggestions) Having more chipdamage related content would at least appeal to more of the current community vs appealing to whoever your current demographic is. That's not to say drop the way you are doing things and just speak about chipdamage stuff. However currently chipdamage content is…what….10-20% of the current format? Maybe bump that up to 40%? Try to have a format that still appeals to outsiders while appealing to locals as well.
Whatever the case just my take on it.
I believe we've explained our stances on this matter in the episode. I personally believed that "chipdamage" should not have been in the title. People have had the chance to make a podcast dedicated to the local scene…how'd that go? This was never meant to be a glorified extension of IRC…EVER. What we're trying to do is something entirely different.
/END.
Wait so I give you guys legit suggestions and you come back with some nonsense shit about "glorified IRC"? I don't see me suggesting any such thing. Do you really have such a low opinion of our gaming scene as to believe it would be nothing more than an audio version of IRC? You think that content concerning our local scene would be so shallow as some random shit posted in IRC?
I'm not sure what you referring to as far as a podcast dedicated to the local scene goes. We were previously looking at starting a local scene podcast and had it in a beta form, but when Jayse returned and expressed interest in doing a chipdamage related podcast I backed off the project. It didn't fail due to lack of anything in particular, it was dropped because others wanted to do it.
I personally have a higher opinion of our scene and believe that content focusing on the scene would also be interesting. I have no idea where this bias against the scene has come from but it's nothing short of ridiculous.
For local content, maybe something about the current RanBats results, or a talking about a tourney (like at baselan). I also love when you guys tell stories from the scene, like in episode 1 the story about 'James Kim Goes to PnT'. So nothing really different from what you are already doing, I guess. Definitely you guys covered a bunch of ChipDamage stuff in this one, so personally I dunno what else you'd have in there. I guess the issue is not that it's not enough chipdamage, but too much other stuff? Is it that the two topics (chipdamage, other stuff) don't really fit in one podcast? I don't have much say in it, so it's up to you guys. Anyways, I like these podcasts so keep up the good work. This is my new favorite episode!
