Smogcast 12: Black & White UU

**Seven Deadly Sins** · Jun 29th, 2011, 12:21:44 AM

That's right, now that we've got UU up and running, it's time for the newest iteration of the Smogcast to shed some light on this new metagame! Join hosts Seven Deadly Sins and JabbaTheGriffin, as well as our esteemed panelists LonelyNess and Snunch, as we take a good hard look at every facet of this new UU metagame. In this monster 96-minute cast, you'll hear coverage of:

- All the suspects, including Mew, Victini, Staraptor, and more!
- New stars on the rise, such as Espeon and Wobbuffet!
- Our panelists' favorite rogue metagame threats!

You can listen to The Smogcast in segments on Youtube, and it is also available as an MP3 for all you fans who want to listen to the Smogcast on the go!

Also, huge huge gigantic props to TelamonianAjax, who hooked us up with a sexy new intro for the Smogcast! This dude worked hard to bring us some snazzy intro music, and damn did he deliver.

i refuse to listen to this until ln promises to watch his salty language

LonelyNess · Jun 29th, 2011, 12:47:03 AM

Don't censor me.

Xav · Jun 29th, 2011, 12:57:15 AM

Yes! I've been waiting paitently for the UU Smogcast and it has finally arrived. A big thanks to everyone that made this possible, keep up the good work.

EDIT: props to TelamonianAjax, the intro is really sweet

Strogues · Jun 29th, 2011, 12:59:52 AM

Big thanks to all who has participated in this! I am really thankful for everyone finding places in their crazy schedules so that underlings like me can get into the mind of the masters.

masterful · Jun 29th, 2011, 1:41:37 AM

I already talked about this on irc, but didn't get an exact answer. Is there a reason that, when listening through headphones, there's like a random echo effect on everyone?

Katakiri · Jun 29th, 2011, 1:57:45 AM

i refuse to listen to this until ln promises there is gratuitous salty language

Can anyone explain exactly why it's so hard to get the download up the same time as the Youtube videos? I'm assuming it's because Chris nor SDS has access to the site's Media, but I'd love to see a little coordination from them and whoever controls the media files of Smogon if that's the case. :/

**Seven Deadly Sins** · Jun 29th, 2011, 2:03:38 AM

I had FTP access to media, but it got nuked in the site downtime since the server basically had to be rebuilt from scratch. Trust me, this isn't really an issue of anyone being incompetent. That, and Symphonyx64 is ridiculously fast, which is awesome.

Really Really Nice :)

Yeah, it's not like a single repeat you'd get from one persons mic, but a slight echo/reverb effect placed on everyone. Is this the case?

Anyway, I'm loving it so far, intro was fantastic!

kaonohiokala · Jun 29th, 2011, 2:33:25 AM

First smogcast I listened to. Good stuff.

FUCK CHANSEY.

**PK Gaming** · Jun 29th, 2011, 3:05:28 AM

I'm too damn tired to write up a long post, but the usual "This Smogcast was awesome, funny and informative..." but its like 3 AM and i'm dead tired. Hands down my favorite Smogcast. I may be biased when it comes to UU but damn... so good.

FUCK CHANSEY

Focus · Jun 29th, 2011, 3:44:20 AM

Excellent job! This Smogcast is probably the best one yet. The intro kicks ass, setting up for a nice long informative yet engaging Smogcast. The panelists and content did not disappoint in the least bit. You guys seriously nailed it (except for the times when everyone tried to talk at once, but that should not be deliberately avoided).

HiipFire · Jun 29th, 2011, 4:25:20 AM

Great as usual, but that isn't TelamionAjax's music 0_o

Immoral Wombat · Jun 29th, 2011, 6:14:16 AM

Damn no speakers on this computer. Anyone care to do a sign language version?

Anyway, great stuff, can't wait

Aerodactyl Legend · Jun 29th, 2011, 6:18:26 AM

That was quick. Will download and listen soon. And thanks for gettin Jabba on this one in advance, haha.

Paw · Jun 29th, 2011, 11:04:45 AM

I don't want to listen to it,cant there be a typed version ?

A podcast is supposed to be listened to, though I believe a set of "notes" were being considered at one point.

ShenCS · Jun 29th, 2011, 11:14:29 AM

Have to say this one was great (the last one was a little disappointing). Bit of a problem with speaking over each other though, but I suppose that's always going to be there.

Lady Salamence · Jun 29th, 2011, 11:53:35 AM

Loving the new intro. Listening atm.

Eos · Jun 29th, 2011, 12:33:43 PM

Amazing Smogcast.
Just adding to what everyone else is saying: this Smogcast was probably the best overall :)

NeoSeth · Jun 30th, 2011, 12:04:43 AM

I'm on part 7, and I can say this is the best Smogcast since the first, huge B/W cast. Maybe even better.

TelamonianAjax · Jun 30th, 2011, 12:22:08 AM

Thanks for the shoutout guys! And thanks to all of you who enjoy it.

No, it's not my music. I never claimed I wrote the music itself; if anyone is curious, it's "Disorganized Fun" by Ronald Jenkees (the YouTube pianist who wrote the music for Bill Simmons's podcast intro). I did come up with it, though, and put it together.

**locopoke** · Jun 30th, 2011, 2:11:09 AM

this might've been one of the worst casts, get jabba out of there he's shit
