Technical Issues Resolved (Hopefully)

After last night’s upload of episode 6, a string of technical difficulties occurred both server-side and of the pebkac nature. This afternoon, it was discovered that the current episode’s upload was interrupted and only a partial upload occurred. Thus, if you downloaded episode 6 at any time on April 13th, you likely received the partial file. Take a look at the length of the episode: if it comes in at around 1:07:00, it is the partial episode. The actual episode clocks in at 1:27:30.

As of 7pm on Tuesday, April 13th, the corrected file has been uploaded and should be working properly. If you downloaded the file directly from Geekerific, from Podcast Alley, or from another feed aggregator, you’ll have to delete the partial file and re-download it. If you downloaded it iTunes, you’ll have to follow these steps to completely resolve the issue:

1. Delete the erroneous file from your iPod/MP3 player.
2. In iTunes, right-click on Episode 6 in your podcast list and select ‘Delete’, then follow the steps to ‘Move to Recycle Bin’.
3. In iTunes, right-click on the main “After The Fact Podcast” title in your podcast list and select “View All Available Episodes”. This should bring up episode 6 again with a “Get” button.
4. Select the “Get” button to download the new file.
5. Re-sync your iPod.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and hopefully we won’t run into any more technical issues anytime soon.

Coming Up: ATFP Ep. 6 (Edited Repost)

Episode 6 will record this Sunday, April 11th!

Since the 8-bit era, SquareSoft has been synonymous with “RPG”. In an era of the menu-driven, turn-based RPG’s for which Square is so famous, Secret of Mana broke the mold with a real-time dynamic combat system, the elimination of random encounters, and 3-player simultaneous co-op play.

Taking on their first RPG of the show, the ATFP crew decides whether Secret of Mana still breaks the mold, or just leaves cracks in their sanity. Got questions for the hosts? Post them to the Ask The Hosts forum, or e-mail the hosts at afterthefact@geekerific.com!

Episode 6 Delayed

As the title states, there will be a slight delay in the release of Episode 6 of the After The Fact Podcast. The episode should be up for download by the end of the week, and we’ll do our best to make sure this delay does not affect the release of episode 7.

Coming Up: ATFP Ep. 4

The Italian plumber is the icon of all video game icons. He’s the video game industry’s Mickey Mouse. Some people may think that tackling what is arguably the single most loved of the mustachio’s adventures will be easy, but the ATFP crew might disagree. Find out how they take on the Mushroom Kingdom this weekend!

After taking on Sonic on episode 3, the crew flips the tables for episode 4 and figures out what Nintendoes. Got questions for the hosts? Post them to the Ask The Hosts forum, or e-mail the hosts at afterthefact@geekerific.com!

Coming Up: ATFP Episode 3

Mascot. Mario killer. He does what Nintendon’t. The little blue speedster has a storied (and sometimes checkered) past, but holds a vaunted place in the history of video games. This weekend, the ATFP crew takes on the beloved Genesis classic Sonic The Hedgehog!

How do you feel about the ‘hog? If you were a Sega fanboy in the console war, you can’t afford to miss episode 3 of After The Fact! Post your questions for the hosts on the Geekerific Forums, or e-mail them at afterthefact@geekerific.com!
