Podcasting

Podcasting resources and other things that I used to find cool stuff

1. WIKI PODCASTING
2. Gigadial.net
3. Podcast alley
4. Ipodder (Software to download podcasts)

The last thing you need is an mp3 player or a cd player or anything that you can carry with you or you can just simply play it on your pc. I listen mostly to technology and movie reviews and also video gaming ones.

Hope you like this

Mutable Realms cancels Wish MMORPG title

GameIndustry: Ambitious "Ultra Massive" title is dropped from development.

   Very sad, they lived 10 minutes away from me. I went there yesterday to see if they were selling anything.

   My dad bought some of their quality chairs, and also sofas and desk and i'm also going to get a gaming rig from them. I talked to their game designer named Dana (unofficially offcourse), and he said that World of Warcraft or any other game on the market was not their reason to close down, they were not competing against those games. He said a lot of people signed up for the Beta testing but a lot of them did not show up. He also added that the Beta testing was rushed, while the game was not even 80% done, he said that they needed more work on it. Because of the poor reception of the gaming community they shut down.

   Dana also said that he got the news at 3:00 AM while working on WISH, he was very saddened that all of his work has been gone in one night. They are selling everything in their HQ in Nova Scotia same as New Foundland, Canada. I asked him how did you get into this game design and he replied he studied History and then he found this job, he also joked about from being a game designer to a computer salesman :)

Another cool game getting shutdown but I liked their ideas with Ultra Massive Online Gaming, as WISH was " the first Ultra Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (UMMORPG™). "Ultra" means that Wish supports more than 10,000 simultaneous players in a single, seamless world, without any zones or "shards"."
