Woohoo

Only 2.5 hours? Just kidding, great to have it.

Hey, I think we just got a new tag line.

Announcer voice:

"The D6 Generation, the only podcast where two and a half hours feels short."

Sweet..

"The D6 Generation, the only podcast where two and a half hours feels short."

I like it.

When are we getting another mulling mechanics?

I note that in his defense of his position, Craig makes several references to being a Hobbyist.

Does he infact bear any relation to this man? Either in appearence or manner?

Got , A touch of evil myself , looking forward to a game after the review. If only Katolina would come around to my place........

Yeah, come on guys, only 2.5 hours. You're starting to slack off in your old age.

One other piece in interesting info about your childhood monster movie show. The theme song is by Emerson Lake & Palmer, & I believe it's on the album Tarkus, if not the song Tarkus itself.

Here is a picture of the album cover:

If that's not Russ' dream, mixing tanks & Monsterpocalypse, I'm not sure what is.

I was totally stumped for a caption, & then of course, one flashed into my mind when I was listening to the enties.

"Ok Mr Johnson, please turn your head & cough."

Craig, Raef, if you don't understand it, ask Russ about it. He'll be able to explain it to you soon enough.

Another nice show. Have you considered renaming the show to "The D6 Wives" and having a "When husbands attack" feature in it?


However, I for one feel that Owen the welshman stopped being funny several episodes ago and now I have just started skipping over the parts with him in it entirely. To me that is the only low point in the show.

Humor is a tricky thing. For example: the vast majority of our listeners really seem to enjoy Rapid Fire, but about 1 in 10 emails find Rapid Fire annoying.

So too with "Words from Wales". Owen has a very distinctive type of humor that most (based on our feedback) really enjoy, but this will not appeal to everyone.

That's why we try to have a variety of segments, so there is something for everyone.

The best part about the D6G for me is sharing gaming experiences with others around the world, and Owen definitly provides a unique perspective with a healthy does of sacasam thrown in for good fun. It's not easy, and it takes a good bit of bravery to put yourself out there to the world and let them critque your performance.

So to Owen I say: Well done you!

Russ

Thank you very much for your kind words,

Diolch

Owen

Finished listening to #19 last night. I was suprised that while Touch of Evil didn't initially interest me because I thought it was another "survivors trapped in a mall" game, as soon as I heard it was "sleepy hollow", it immediately grabbed my attention. I had never thought just a change in theme would change my view of the game so drastically.

I suppose I will make my first post on Dakka in praise of the D6 Generation:

Long time 40K player. Love the show. Very excited to hear about Dark Heresy in Episode 20. Would like to hear some more chatter about the Pirates game. Rapid Fire and Words from Wales are golden. I only wish my guttural American vocal chords could produce such eloquent sounds as Owen.

I love Words from Wales fans me, well done brother Altrox , Da iawn Ti

The newspaper article mentioned is now online here.

No pictures though.

D6G is an essential part of my podcast listening now I just wish I could find a dedicated Hordes/WM 'cast (not a big fan of podthralls).

I'm really enjoying the show, thanks D6 Gen-ers, Wives, and Owen!

I have a blast listening to Words from Wales and Rapid Fire. So much so that prior to posting here (for the first time ever!) I emailed Owen to say g'day and to show my appreciation! (not the sort of thing I would normally do, but wanted jump into the pro-Owen band wagon).

Cheers from Australia.

Adam

And you are welcome on that Bandwagon Adam, or should I say Prisoner 24601?

Anyway Its Wales Vs Australia next week in Rugby can't wait , Wales will be in their Traditional Red Strip although I have heard that the Aussies have declined the Black and White arrows that look so nice upon them!

Cheers Adam your support is much appreciated


Owen

^ This guy here. Real comedian.

Great show as usual. I think it felt extra short as a fair portion was taken by the winners of the competition, which while amusing aren't particularly gaming related. Still, excellent work.

Yeah, I had a slight feeling of a meta-episode more than an episode this time

Plus this is the first time you've actually put me off buying a game you've reviewed! A Touch of Evil just doesn't sound like something I'd get much longevity out of. So, thanks for another quality review.

Oh and BattleStar Galactica, the board game, finally arrived in Ireland on Friday It's fracking great. We had a cylon player end up as both the president and admiral of the colonies, and throw the humans in the brig. Very amusing!

Slightly off topic, but...

Australia v Wales
Head to Head:
Played 27 : Australia 17, Wales 9, Drawn 1

Last Time:
15/09/07 : Australia 32 - Wales 20
at Millennium Stadium, Cardiff

Good luck Owen

On topic...

I havent played A Touch of Evil, but from the review it sounds a lot like Arkham Horror, and I didnt hear any reason to put Arkham away.

See, that's the Welsh all over. An Aussie pays him a compliment and gets nothing but snarkiness in return!

We English have had it for years - they've piggy-backed off our generosity ever since our glorious Saxon ancestors relocated them westwards to the lumpy tail-end of the country in the 6th century and what gratitude have they ever shown us for it eh? Even when our most magnanimous sovereign Edward I kindly donated a lot of beautiful in the form of castles to decorate their otherwise godforsaken land they did nothing but moan about it and even rebelled! Can you imagine it!

No, nothing good ever came from befriending the Welsh...

j/k Keep up the good work Owen, the Welsh always make me laugh... no wait, that's just their Rugby team...

Speaking of laughing, and rugby... did anyone see England play Australia at the weekend?

I saw parts of it through my fingers!!

What was awesome was watching Munster almost beat the All Blacks last night. I was in a bar in Dublin, and I tell you I was an honourary Irishman for the evening. But then with a name like Fitzsimmons I was always going to blend in well

Wales will defeat them on Sat, Wales are the Grand Slam Champions , we have beaten England Three times out of the Last four, we have players in our team that they could only dream of.

Come on Wales.........

Hey! England are currently top of the Six Nations championship I'd have you know! Even if it is only alphabetically...
