Our Mission here at NGNG.net:

Quote

To provide a non-biased, open minded, thoughtful and sometimes skeptical perspective on all things Battletech®, including current MechWarrior® games such as the upcoming MechWarrior® Online™.

Our first podcast was recorded on Oct. 31, but due to our recorders computer bighting the dust, we had to wait to retrieve the original and edit it.

Podcast #1 was lengthy to say the least. But we thought it was only appropriate to cover the FAQ section of the forums for our first recording. It is broken up into two segments:

• Part A and B.
  
• As of right now Part A is up and B will follow tonight.

Our Facebook page will be operational shortly, for now please let us know what you think via these forums. We will be recording a new podcast every week and possibly short news breaks in the week depending on the content released by the DEV team.



Podcast #2 was recorded just a few days ago Nov. 4, 2011. It will be posted asap. Here are the topics we discuss:

Quote

- Battlemech, weapon, eqiupment custimization
- MPBT Solaris - no customization, only variants. No omni-tech
- Mechwarrior ⅔ - mostly based on tabletop rule-set.
- Mech Commander
- Mechwarrior 4 - semi hardpoint system.
- MPBT 3025
- Weapon variants: ven diagram, fast v slow firing models
- MWO Death Penalty? Units involved in planetary only?
- Fun matches, relying on others... ugh!!
- Do you make fun matches have death penalty?
- Creating units. Limitations? Bills? Planetary?
- Free to play v Pay to win!! League of Legends / World of tanks, Lowe, premium accounts / balance.
- All battlemechs for everyone, but good revenue based on fictional characters: Aidan Prydes Timber Wolf etc.

We have some guest speakers lined up from various leadership positions throughout the mechwarrior/battletech community. Like our website says, please feel free to contact us with questions regarding information covered on the podcast or content you would like to hear discussed in detail in a furture podcast.

I'd like to thank Bryan & the Dev's for allowing us to do this with their direct consent! We are in awe gentlemen, thank you so much for giving so much back to the community so early in development!!

Nice Hunchback skin.

[Cattra Kell]

I was getting worried that this would never see the light of day PK.

I would also like to thank Bryan and the Development team for everything and also PK for spearheading this project that I was given the honour of joining in on and having a good time with and I hope more is to come.

Keep a sharp eye out for this one folks, I think things could become interesting.

Podcast #3 will be recorded this coming Monday! Please let us know what you think!!

[Bombadil]

Step 1. Launch podcast. Step 2. Get into closed alpha testing...1/2 way there!

Exactlyyy....why else do a verbal forum when everything everyone is saying/thinking is right here. Hmmm....oh well. Have fun kids.

[Halfinax]

Enjoying the podcasts. You have some good critical thoughts on the IP.

Not following you with this statement? Not all forum members are visual learners, sometimes hearing the voice and conversation aspect helps them along the thinking process. I am a very visual/verbal person and if I can use those methods to better enhance my understanding of something, I'll jump right on it.

Hope you enjoyed Part A. Lots more in Part B. I'm not going to lie, I think Podcast #2 is overall better, we had a little bit more organization. But going over the FAQ did answer allot of the things we had planned on going over anyway. Any feedback at all would be welcome by all?

I'm not on FB.

Are you going to add an RSS feed or some other promotion mechanism (Google Reader, Twitter.....etc) to alert us of new podcasts?

Yes sir we are going to include RSS feed! We are also looking at a way to better allow you to access the Podcasts. We would like the look and feel of a playlist, Daeron is already working on that.

[phelanjkell]

RSS Feed up & funcstional.

[garrett]

Thanks for posting this. I love podcasts.

Now to go listen to this... while playing MechWarrior, of course.

[Andrew Harvey]

I really enjoyed the podcast, you guys did a really good job and discussed a lot of the questions I'm sure we all have about the future of the game. However, it looks like only the first part of the initial podcast is available at the moment. Hopefully we'll get to hear more of it soon. Keep up the good work!

[John Clavell]

Listing to first podcast now. Good work guys!

[Hangfire]

More to come, we just picked up a guy strictly for recording and editing them. Daeron has to much on his plate, so we saving him from the hassle!!

Toss me a poke in TS when you get part B up, as i told you on TS, PK... i very much did the Vader NOOOOOOOOOOO! when i went to click Part B and it did not show as a link. Made me a sad Ghost Bear. Looking forward to these podcasts, just another notch on the rebooting of the community, and people love to hear other people talk and discuss.

[phelanjkell]

Coffi, its just cause I like to tease you my friend!!

[CoffiNail]

This is worse then when my wife wears a short skirt and fishnets when we got out, does some house work when we come home and then goes to sleep when the kids get put to bed.

And that is a darn annoying tease! So this...
