New iPhone in September? According to some telecom guy in the UAE, yes. According to us, no. Warren rescues his Boot Camp partition from BSOD hell, Todd makes a game, and Chip is victorious in getting publishers to charge us all more money. All in this week’s Fruitygamer!
WWDC and E3 on the same day means a ton of news about Lion, iOS5, the mysterious iCloud and plenty of semi-related but mostly just cool console news. LIsten as Warren, Todd and Chip wax eloquent about clouds, Kinect and a whole lot more!
Precisely none of you may be wondering how we make FruityGamer here at Freyburg Media. Well, I’m here to tell you the thinking, process and methodology I used. My methods and tools may differ from what’s available to you, but you’ll at least get a general idea as to how to pull of your own video podcasts.
When myself and my business partner made “This is Yaletown” we did so thinking the internet would soon push up its production values to the levels of television, and that we’d better be ahead of the curve. But in fact this has not proven to be the case. People watch internet shows for many reasons, but slick production values (to a point) doesn’t seem to be a necessary part of the equation.
I figured that given my experience creating Radio Free Skaro there was no reason I couldn’t create similar podcasts on video and in audio form, and do so in such a way that they’re quick and easy to make.
New Macbook Airs? OS X 10.7? John Sculley taps out? EA in Tokyo? Yes!
BTW, we planned to do this episode on video as well as audio, but technology conspired against us. Next week for (maybe) sure!
Starcraft II! Episodic gaming! Boot Camp! Spider, Secret of Bryce Manor! All on Fruitygamer Episode 4!
In this episode, Warren and Todd discuss So Long Oregon, Archetype and the state of iPhone shooters, Steam, Netflix coming to Canada and Microsoft’s continued tumble into the abyss. Enjoy!
A torrent of iPad reviews have left the land of the embargo to emerge blinking in the light of day, and the verdict is that the iPad is indeed “revolutionary” and “magical.” The two best reviews I’ve seen are Xeni Jardin’s take on Boing Boing and Andy Inhatko’s live demo on Twit.TV (which I’m trying to track down as an embed and will post when it eventually shows up.)
Noted OS X security expert Charlie Miller was in Vancouver for CanSecWest, the annual computer security conference. He was good enough to give me his time for an interview for Mac | LIfe, seen below….
I have a new article on Mac | Life, this time about GPS on the iPhone and how it can be unreliable in a variety of circumstances.
