Evening Reading: Podcasting!
by Brian Leahy, Mar 25, 2010 5:00pm PDTAs you read this, I am driving back from the studio where myself, Garnett Lee, and Jeff Cannata just finished recording the debut episode of Weekend Confirmed, our new podcast.
Since I'm writing this hours before that actually happened, though, I can only assume that it was spectacular. You'll be able to grab the episode tomorrow at 4PM EST/1PM PST.
With Chris Faylor off to PAX East, it was a busy day, and as such this ER post will be a bit shorter than...

I just got my game Flotilla approved and released on Xbox Live Indie Games! The game is about turn-based 3D space battleship combat. Now you can flank from any direction in glorious 1080p from the comfort of your sofa.
And there's lots of explosions.

I went to Blizzard's store, but it only takes credit cards and for some reason wants your address (seriously?). So need somewhere that accepts Paypal.
Steam doesn't have it and neither does GOG. I've never played a Blizzard game and so far I'm not getting a good impression of them.

Day 3 of doing the p90x stuff, I am in a world of hurt right now (I actually threw up yesterday after doing plyometrics)
I'm meant to do the ab ripper workout stuff today as well yet my stomach is still really painful - so that should be a whole lot of fun. Foodwise I'm still sticking to the nutrition stuff although I need to cut down on the amount of tuna I'm eating as even my sweat smells of tuna right now :(
Hows everyone else getting on with trying to be healthy? :D

Server and TS info is the same as it ever was, check my profile.
We also discovered last night while we were testing out ieGod's super secret awesome strategy that you still get EXP while on a passworded server. So until DICE fixes it (lololol DICE fixing something) we will have a password up.

I currently have an E8400, and right now I'm not looking to spend much in the upgrade department. But I have heard that BC2 gets a major boost from quad core CPUs, along with a other recent and future games. Microcenter currently has the quad core Q9550 for 179.99. I'm running a Radeon 5870. Anyone have experience making this sort of upgrade, and whether it was worth it?

It's disappointing that I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be like that (which is fucking stupid) or if it just bugged out on me (which I encountered more than a couple in my play through). The two biggest being me clipping through chronos and running around inside his arm until I managed to somehow escape and just up and dying when entering a new area.
I liked it though. I don't think it deserves the 92% it has on metacritic, but it's definitely worth a play through.

I don't play, but the co-worker that I gave my extra key to has been going on about it. Mostly imbal issues. He says that the Zerg are U.P., the Protos are O.P., and that he's having a hard time trying to find a good build order. Now, I'm not really sure about all the O.P. and U.P. issues, but what are some good resources for good builds. And just for reference, he's apparently pretty good at Starcraft 1.

We've decided to move back to Phoenix so that we can be closer to our family, especially since we have a daughter now. Is anyone hiring? I'm a .NET developer with 4 years of experience. Most of my experience has been in ASP.NET Web Forms but I've recently done WPF work and I'm about to dive into an ASP.NET MVC project.
I have a detailed resume handy if anyone wants it or you can visit my LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/garybphillips (This could probably use an update.)
Feel free to send me a Shack Message or reply to this.
