Episode 5 - University and More Sims 3

Hey listeners,

Episode 5 was great! We had a whole load of live listeners and callers (around 10).

Thanks for joining in! Sorry about the microphone issues again, I think I have finally fixed them. The people who have downloaded the un-edited file should delete it and re download the new one. I will upload later on today.

Hopefully we shall not have any more microphone troubles (thanks Rob!). Will keep you posted. Also vote on the Competition poll right here at the top of the blog. We need to have a winner!

Update

Ok listeners, Episodes 3 and 4 are now ready for download at http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/14336.

Unfortunately, I think my microphone has broken, and will probably be trying to buy a new headset for recording the show soon. Hopefully I will have this ready for a Sims 3 update and discussion and University Episode 5 this Wednesday.

Also, I am still having trouble getting the live recording to have good quality. I think this is because of my relatively slow internet (Thanks alot Telstra!) which makes the recording quality very bad. I will try to fix this!

Thanks for listening to the show!

Keep Enjoying Your Sims!

EPISODES 3 & 4

Episode 2 - Where do I start?

I dont know what happened but the live version stuffed up so I had to re-record it. Quality was terrible. In the intro "Talkshoe - recorded live" you can hear the quality of the show. So I replaced the rest.

Anyway, in todays episode, some basic questions were covered. I was aiming to give a little bit of information to new players as to what kind of computer they should use as well. Also, a short warning on getting custom content was played.

At the begginning, I mentioned a few other podcasts on The Sims 2 that inspired me to create this one.

The Sims 2 Challenges by Rachel

And, Customizing The Sims 2 by Jerry

Please follow the links, as they will teach you a whole load of information about the Sims 2.

I also breifly spoke about some graphics cards that are incompadible with The Sims 2.

(graphics will be largely reduced and gameplay will be low quality)
Here they are:

ATI Rage Fury, Matrox Millennium G400, Matrox Millennium G550, NVIDIA Riva TNT2, Matrox Parhelia, ST Micro KYRO, S3 DeltaChrome S8, SiS 315, Trident Blade XP, SiS Xabre 400, XGI Volari

There may be other graphics cards that do not work also.

Anyway hope you enjoyed the show, please e-mail simsdownunder(at)gmail(dot)com if you have any questions, want to suggest anything for the podcast or want to give me some advice on the podcast. Visit the show page to subscribe or download http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/14336.
