OK, so ep6 will be delayed until next week. I got rather tied up with a little family business. If you want to see pictures, visit my flickr page or read about it on my personal blog
This week, we’re including a video of the SF 10v10 DM event in our feed! We’re hosting the full high-quality video, but it can also been seen at MotionBox and YouTube HD.
There is no commentary, but sit back and enjoy some great visuals!
UPDATE: 1-19-09 16:38PM Eastern – I updated the video, need item in the feed folks. New version containing new footage!
Episode 5 is all about teamspeak chat. We have Fwiffo, HunterKiller, Kumquat, WiskyGhost, and ZDude. Special thanks to HK’s sister.
As usual, we have news and voicemail (and you gotta hear this one)!
NEWS:
ACS Session 7 grads
Hyro@SF look for frappers
Squad League 2009
More in two weeks!
Edit 1-31-09 – belated posting of EP5 transcript (sorry for my delay, Das got this to me over a week ago:( ), but unbelievable job for such JUNK that was the TS chat in ep5. We’ll refine that process and get a better way to do open chat.
This is Allegiance Sports Brief. Less than 5 minutes of news you can use from Allegiance. This Brief, Gandalf from Rolling Thunder gives us an update and his take on the first match-ups of the Allegiance League.
Allegiance Sports Brief - Gandalf on Alleg League Play [4:20] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (899)Here’s how it works. We pick a hot topic from the boards. You send in commentary (emailed or called in to 206-350-0181).
On Sunday at 2pm Eastern (one hour before squad game time), we start a live stream (link posted here and at http://allegiance.fragfest.net just before show time) and play the comments. Then, using Skype and/or TS (experimentation and testing to be done), you “call in” and give your opinion which is broadcast over the live stream. I will comment (and be snarky, I guarantee) and then person #2 calls in and comments more, either on the pre-recorded commentary, my comments or the previous callers comments.
We record the whole thing and include in the next episode.
Our first try with this will be this Sunday, January 11th at 2pm Eastern US. I will announce the call in method prior to show time.
Our first topic will be: Limit noobs from the main game or not?
Allegiance community, are you ready for this? Show me by sending in audio commentary (or text emails, I can read too). Once again, the voicemail number is 206-350-0181 and our email is alleg@fragfest.net.
DasSmiter@RT is such an awesome guy. He has begun transcription of our ‘casts! Welcome to the team Das. I’ve updated the post for Ep1 (Interview with spidey) with the transcription. Future shows will have the show notes updated as transcriptions become available (hopefully we’ll get the mp3 to Das in time to have them ready on launch). Thanks again Das and hurrah for being our first staff member!
Episode 4 has been a while in the making. I want to thank Andon@RT for getting us the video segments for Faction X and the whole Faction X crew for their work. The new faction will be GREAT fun! Thanks to Bigrou@SysX for the video used for our highlight reel from the SysX/SF squad game from July 12, 2008. We also have some great news for you, as well as some interesting tidbits from the forums. We have a couple of voicemails too. Be sure to WATCH the voicemail segment, even though you will be tempted otherwise.
Don’t forget to call our voicemail line at 206-350-0181 or email your audio files to alleg@fragfest.net.
SHOW NOTES:

Show notes for the news:
NEWS
1. First Screenshot Competition Winner: Sp4wn
2. New Session of Cadet I started Dec 6, 26 participants. no wait, there were 30. no, no wait there’s more, 33 participants. whew. After the comment made by FreeBeer we covered earlier, we wonder how many of those are SysX hiders? I guess the world will never know
3. TigerEye is calling for assistance in spreading around the Allegiance installation downloads to conserve bandwidth. Possibly for other, top-secret projects? Hmmmmm. Anyway, if you have a “REAL” server and can help, private message him on the FAO forums
4. To quote ogorass “It’s the ‘who the hell are all those strangely named people?‘ time of the year.” That’s right, the callsign reset and reclamation has just taken place. Make your new stupid hiders now before somebody else does.
Edit 1-6-09: Transcript posted! Thanks to DasSmiter@RT, our staff transcriptionist.
The release of episode 3, our interview with SF ASL Dorjan, has been delayed by a day or so. I got a desk and spent all day moving my PC, running new cat5 through the attic and setting up my new space:). For the first time in two years, I won’t be sitting on the floor when I’m at the computer! This should mean a little bit faster editing and we’ll be back on our weekly release schedule.
My apologies to our listeners. Keep a watch over the next day or so for the next ep.
Episode 2 released! In this episode, we interview Aeris, squadron leader of Palidor’s Knights (PK), the squad currently holding the Squad Tournament Champion title. Aeris gives us insight into what makes PK the top squad in Allegiance. We also have our first voicemail and a request for content. Send us your game reviews!
Next week we feature our interview with Assistant Squad Leader (ASL), Dorjan@SF.
Edit 1-6-09: Transcript posted! Thanks to DasSmiter@RT, our staff transcriptionist.
