General Suggestions and Questions
 
Ask stuff here! Suggest stuff here!

One rule: NO CONTENT SUGGESTIONS. If you have a suggestion about a particular show, post in that show's thread. If you have a suggestion FOR a show, we have a thread for that too. This should be for suggestions with the podcast as a whole.

Thanks guys.

I fucked up the merge so the merged posts were "ahead" of the OP, so I deleted them... Here they are quoted with responses.

The download speed from Smogon was pretty terrible, and I'm sure the admins would appreciate reducing the server load. I'm certainly prepared to help with seeding and even creating the torrent.

We'll look into this, not a bad idea.

When you say metagame analysis, is that focused on the ou metagame? I'm a committed Uber battler and would love to hear from the likes of Theorymon or Jibaku, what they think. This could either be done as a segment within an episode or as an entire episode devoted to the Uber metagame.


Edit: when I refer to the Uber metagame, that's just an example. It could just as well be UU or LC... whatever

"OU Metagame Analysis" is exactly what it says. An analysis of the OU metagame. The natural extension is an Uber version...

Seven Deadly Sins May 14th, 2010 11:17:04 AM

Just to clarify... We plan on doing regular coverage of OU as interesting things happen, mainly since it's by far the most popular metagame, but we DO have coverage of other metagames planned. The next Smogcast will be covering UU, so look forward to it.

Would it be possible to create an iTunes-compatible RSS feed?

Seven Deadly Sins May 19th, 2010 9:29:05 PM

We're working on it.

I really liked the smogcast, I thought it was enjoyable to listen to (and btw, I am Philip7086 on Skype)

so to resolve the conflict in the cast, do you stalk phil or do you just like impersonating him or something

(maybe i have a similar dude stealing "chris is me" everywhere i go :()

I was wondering if it was iTunes compatible or could be transferred to your iPod or mobile device.

-Thanks.

Simply get the file and drag it into your iTunes library.
's how I listened to it, anyway.

Alexa888 May 29th, 2010 5:11:34 AM

Could you do a section on UU?

McMamba Jun 3rd, 2010 3:02:36 PM

When can we expect the second part?

matty Jun 10th, 2010 3:36:50 AM

Can we at least have a queue of upcoming shows? I'd like to have an idea of what is going to be next

acinod Jun 11th, 2010 4:43:08 AM

I assume the Smogcast 2 won't be out by tomorrow because you posted that it will be out in 72 hours yesterday but you deleted your own post.

It will, didn't mean to delete that. 24 hours from now, a Smogcast will be up.

Quack quack. :toast:

Will do in the future, right now the post would say "we have a show coming out today and a few in the pipeline!" so I'd rather not right this minute.

cim Jun 12th, 2010 2:36:17 AM

Update: Gimme another day, terrible things happened.

Master WGS Jun 13th, 2010 2:43:50 AM

Though you said you're working on it, figured I'd throw out that an iTunes-friendly RSS feed would be boss.

I'm sure you know this, though.

cim Jun 13th, 2010 4:58:20 PM

That's the plan. An xml file exists, it's just a matter of uploading it to the right place with the right references and stuff.

Waiting on SDS to make a YouTube version...

acinod Jun 13th, 2010 8:15:06 PM

So I believe you've finished making the podcast but having trouble uploading it? Hope it gets uploaded by this weekend. The YouTube version can always be uploaded later since Smogon should get it first.

cim Jun 13th, 2010 9:14:44 PM

Only admins can upload files of this size to Smogon without causing bandwidth issues apparently.

Feel free to divert any questions about future shows in development to the timeline thread.

GAK Jun 14th, 2010 1:01:12 PM

Could you put it up for download on iTunes?

jumpluff Jun 14th, 2010 1:22:45 PM

As said repeatedly :P, it's being worked upon. Really, it is.

That's the plan. An xml file exists, it's just a matter of uploading it to the right place with the right references and stuff.

cim Jun 14th, 2010 11:36:25 PM

Submitted to iTunes this morning. Should be up momentarily.

Mikazukinoyaiba Aug 25th, 2010 1:07:12 AM

This thread is strangely sparse considering it's age, makes me nervous as to whether it is okay to ask this question here.

Are you guys making any plans on putting the smogcast up on Zune Marketplace?

Seven Deadly Sins Aug 25th, 2010 1:17:41 AM

I submitted it to them. If it's not up there, it's not our fault.

Ultima Aug 29th, 2010 7:10:01 PM

Might I suggest (Props to whoever does this) making a cool iTunes cover for it? And maybe a questions thread segment? A questions thread segment would probably clear up any confusion that happens (Like because of the Salamence ban.) You wouldn't have to do a crapload of questions just like 2 or 3 per episode.

Also, question. Do you guys release episodes on a regular basis or only when an issue such as the latter Salamence ban comes up.

EDIT: Oh and a segment on an episode on Doubles style battling would be awesome to learn for Shoddy Battle 2.
