unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 17:33:17 PST

Sorry for the lack of shows as of late. My iBook is quite dead, now. I’m saving up to get a new iMac, and should hopefully have it by early March. By then I should have plenty to talk about. Until then, you can follow me on Twitter at my Twitter page for the time [...]

BlizzCon show upcoming

unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 03:58:13 PDT

So, Kat is at BlizzCon. She mentioned recording to me when she found out that she got the job as co-host for the DirecTV PPV airing. I talked to her tonight after she got back to… well, I guess her hotel, I doubt she is commuting from San Fran to Anaheim… and we are going [...]

Sorry for the delay…

unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 22:45:10 PDT

I’ve been working a lot since Kat and I recorded our first show together. In fact, we recorded a second one the following week, but she has the audio for that one… Unfortunately, Kat has been mad busy with the CGS World Championships (her team made it into the final), so she hasn’t had a [...]

New cast recorded…

unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 11:53:51 PDT

Special Guest Kat Hunter and I recorded over this past week. I had a bunch of shit to get done this weekend, so I didn’t get to edit it. I should hopefully editand have it up by mid-week.

So nice to have a mouse that works, again… UTGR website up

unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 10:35:26 PDT

So, my old and faithful partner here with me and my laptop decided it was time to kick the bucket. I got my money’s worth out of that mouse, though. I’ve had it for over four years, it’s been to three E3s, it’s traveled with me when I took my laptop anywhere. [...]

So…

unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 23:32:31 PDT

It turns out that designing the future website for Uncle Thursday Game Reviews is going to be a lot harder than I was hoping. There are reasons for this. 1. I have not worked with HTML in any semi-seriousness since at least 1998, and since then the standards of HTML have changed, greatly. And I [...]

The website is now set up.

unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 04:56:35 PDT

The site is up and running. The RSS feed to iTunes and all of the other ways you guys get the podcast is also updated, so there are no new settings you need to do on your end. The Podcast Pickle player on the right will be replacing the flash player in each post. This should [...]

Episode 21-PTR Show 4 (2.3)

unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 00:20:48 PDT

Apologies for the audio quality being a bit lower than the last few shows. My normal mic has a short in it, so had to use an older mic. This episode is all about the changes upcoming in patch 2.3, lots of items to discuss. Had to rerecord the entire show after a program [...]

Patch Show 4! Talk of changes with Patch 2.1.0, 2.1.1, and 2.2.2. I do make one mistake (that I heard) calling the engineering goggles enchanting goggles at first. Dunno why, I guess I’m just dumb at times. I meant to say something about 2.2, but never got to it. I’ll do a [...]

Episode 12-Patch Show 2 (1.12)

unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 00:03:42 PDT

Soooo, I missed out on finishing my PTR show, but, honestly, I didn’t play that much on it because I found the PTR for 1.12 perfectly uninteresting. My end all decision was to just mix them together. A few tidbits of info come from the PTR, some from the final release of 1.12. So, here it [...]
