WarCry Feature: Podcasts
Back in mid January, we found this fella attempting to start up a podcast for
the Saga of Ryzom. After listening to a few of his broadcasts, the team knew
that he was on to something. Not only were his outlooks and discussions fresh
(literally, from a newbie's point-of-view), humorous, open-ended, and
open-minded, but his conversations also held quality. No ridiculous flames here!
Talk about self-motivation for a person who joined in December!
Already gaining fans throughout the playerbase, we at WarCry decided to
support Beau Turkey in his adventure of becoming Ryzom's first PodCast Newsman!
Striving to bring you the best gaming content on the net, we are now an official
partner of www.beauturkey.com. Working hand-in-hand, we will attempt to get
exclusives and other materials you would be sure to love. BE AWARE: SOME SHOWS HAVE A FEW CURSE WORDS IN THEM, IN THE FURTURE THEY WILL NOT, I PROMISE.
So in the mean time, sit back, relax, and enjoy the sounds that are Beau.

Podcast 22
- He's BACK!
Description:
Guess what? Guess who I found floating along the information superhighway? Mad Sam! That's right! He's back, and thilly as ever.
We talk bout what we been doing, what he's been doing, and some other funny stuff. Excuse the poor audio in some of the segments. We will get it figured out once again.
I also talk a bit bout what I've been doing, and some other cute stuff, then I talk about the Zorai race. To be honest I want the race segments to be longer, but there is so much to talk about with each one it's hard to get it all in. I recorded several segments, and lost one of the segments where I used some player contributed stories about the Zorai. Special thanks to Mugendo, for his brilliant post. I'll get you in next time, man, you rule.
This show's music:
Opening music behind Sam and Me: The Rocky Theme. Duh.
Then we have Regina Spektor with "On the Radio" from the album "Begin to Hope."
The intro song to the Zorai section is the Zorai creation music from the official site.
...and later, the last song on the 'cast, another song from her, titled "Field Below" from the same album.
Thanks again a million times to Brent from the Virgin Worlds podcast collective. www.virginworlds.com
See ya in game!

Podcast 21
- Awww...Trykers!
Description: I'm back again this week with a whole show dedicated to the Tryker race. The next 3 shows after this one will be dedicated to the other races: Zorai, Fyros and Matis.
Excuse my voice, I had been suffering with a bit of allergies. Also forgive any chunks of info I might've missed, I've had a hard week! :)
It's good to be back into the game, but you'll hear me explain in this 'cast why I might be in and out of game for a bit. Financial issues. Let's just say I'm glad Ryzom has a free trial!
Thanks for lissenin', and thanks for the support!
Beau

Description: "Real life and Ryzom"
That's right, I'm back with another brilliant Ryzom podcast! Yay! On this episode I give examples of how Ryzom is like real life, with links to go to to follow along. If you stop and look around, you will notice how Ryzom flows and acts just like real life. Animals, weather...all are interconnected and Ryzom shows that beautifully!
Also we have a great segment from SunCe, Atys' mighty little Warrior, about Magic fights! Listen up! There'll be a pop quiz and if you fail, you need a rez.
Enjoy guys!

Podcast 17
- Who doesn't?
Description: Another short and sweet one, all by my lonesome! :)
Everyone else is off in other lands right now conquering the Monsters of Study, Moving, and Work. Next time should be back to the same ole' bunch of goofness.
I talk bout the new gambling wheels, some about the cool event of Merging and a lil bout my character.
Below are the links I talk about.
The only music not owned by Gameforge is the song in the middle, it's "Waiting for the Night" by Depeche Mode, from their only good album, "Violator". :)
Here are some screenies of the prizes you can win on the Wheel:
Ladle
Yubo
Shield of Prestige
Very cool looking!
And my lil movies:
...so I filmed a BUNCH. Thing was, I wanted the screen to be big enough so that people could read what was on my screen, so they could see the whole speech and all that.
I record at half size though, although since I use the highest rez it's too small. Or something like that... in other words you cant read the chat.
So, I decided to go the smaller/basic approach. I typed up some key parts from the speech and some nice shots of everyone sitting around having fun. And of course, the fireworks. They were magical.
Thanks again for a great event guys!
http://www.beauturkey.com/ryzom/merger.wmv
I have been working on a lil movie using only the Ryzom Ring for a week or so, off and on.
It came out pretty good, minus all the editing and camera errors. Oh well, they'll get better, if I make more.
The Ring is awesome for movies. If you had a few players to act as actors, you could do almost anything.
http://www.beauturkey.com/ryzom/ryz1.wmv
http://www.beauturkey.com/ryzom/ryz2.wmv
Let me know if you see anything crazy, I did alot of version of them and hopefully i uploaded the right ones.
See ya in game!

Podcast 16
- Moving is UBER
Description: I'm back for a quick podcast, talking bout some dapper sinks, some other MMO's, and more bout how moving sucks.
Jenna saves this podcast with her awesome segment, as usual. If you have questions, or opinions, PLEASE email them to me at beau@beauturkey.com.
Mad Sam is AFK for this week, due to some RL stuff, and Leala is still painting and deciding where the kitty litter boxes go.
Soon, next week I hope, all is back to normal. No, this is NOT podfade. This is simply me moving. SO NYAH.
Love, peace, and Yubos.

Podcast 15
- Allergic to Germans
Description: We're back after a week off, and what a week it has been!
First off, me and the wife have been moving into a new home slowly so we have been way too busy to play or record for any significant amount of time. I did finally find an hour to record with Sam though, but when I caught him it was about 1 AM Germany time!
In this 'cast I give a basic rundown of the "Stranger" event that happened on the Arispotle server recently, I also get an interview with everyone's favorite PvP'er (and lord of Atys and all sorts of other titles) SunCe! He's frank, and forgets to watch his cursewords, so cover your ears or ask your kids to leave the room.
Another lovely segment from Jenna, and some fun allergy-ridden conversation with Sam!
It's so good to be back! I missed all of you! Well, except you.
Beau

Podcast 14
- Long days and edits..
Description: OMG! Long podcasts are SO in vogue right now! PLEASE forgive us for jabbering SO much this week that we filled up almost..(gulp) 2 HOURS! But it'll make you laugh, fer crissakes. Next week we are going on a diet and will get it back down to an hour. Ish. Promise.
So Sam is back this week, which rules. I missed my German friend. We talk about my gripefest and all sorts of stuff.
Me and the wife have some fun chatting about what we did this week in game, and we try to keep it together, without laughing and breaking out into songs about our cats.
Another awesome segment from Jenna (she's the best thing ever), and some AWESOME music from player Anatti and his band Kumiss. Find them at www.kumissband.com , and thanks to those guys for loaning me their tunes.
See you in game!

Podcast 12
- A Day in the Life
Description: So I cover quite a few things on this LONG podcast ( 1.5 hours); including information about the music I play, a call from Mayadanava (his ideas are great as always), and a segment with Jenna named "Roleplay". Once again, she is much more professional than I ever could ever be!
I was going to do the show without Sam, (he had technical issues) but today he popped up and said he could do continue. I was a little unprepared, so I got a drink, logged in, and had some fun. I would like to eventually have a many guest play session, to just hang out and talk about Ryzom. One of my many many ideas for the future.
Look out!

Podcast 11
- R2
Description: This week we have the fastest forum run -thru ever. I also talk about the Ryzom Ring -- the greatest thing ever, despite what people are saying or have said regarding issues with hosting or XP. Next time you're in game, load the editor. Trust me, you'll get hooked. Then I play a new segment from Jenna about Roleplay. She will be covering the segment every week. Thanks so much! She does her research and has a nice speaking voice. Later, Sam and I jump into a silly, poorly recorded fun conversation. To be honest, when we record, my little voice recorder for Skype archives onto two separate tracks, so I am free to adjust a single voice accordingly, which this time the feature slipped my mind. Due to the side effect, my voice is going to be really quiet! Oh well, it's still really funny.
|
Podcast 10
- Tidbit Show
Description: It's time for a short, but sweet podcast! I'm missing Sam this week due to scheduling conflicts, but, you still have me! I ran through some manuals and found a few articles which in the past I either needed explaining, forgotten, or never knew of.Therefore I am calling this podcast the "Tidbit Show", named after the list of juicy tidbits found. Newbs might really be interested in this, and if you are not new to the world of Atys, then sit back and laugh at me.
|
Podcast 9
- The Hardcore Fight
Description: This week we address PvP: you either love it, hate it, or horrible at it. BE WARNED! There are a few curse-words in this one due to Sam and I getting all hyped up. We just can't help ourselves!
I am still not able to put in a few other segments such as "New Player of The Week" due to time constraints. Oh well, soon... very, very soon.
And I have changed the release day on the 'cast: it's now Monday. Thanks to my new job kicking my rear and with Sam being alllll the way in Germany, I am going to have to move recording day to Saturday or Sunday, and have it edited for Monday.
Here's to all the PvP'ers out there; see you in game, I'll be the one doing about 20 damage to you.
Make sure to call my Ryzom line and leave tips, messages, or stories. I'm looking for contributors! 1-972-646-3386. Enjoy.

Podcast 8
- We Dig, Dig, Dig
Description: This week we have a little forum drama, again, a couple of event announcements, digging talk, and the continuation of "Choose Your Tryker Adventure"!
Thanks again to Sam for all his infinite knowledge; He's my Obi-Wan Kenobi.... well, only if Obi-Wan was German. And played Ryzom.
Sorry to Mayadanava...I had a segment recorded with him for "Get to Know Your New Player", however this 'cast ran so long I'll have to put it on next week. Sorry again Maya, I'll make it up to you. Email me at beau@beauturkey.com if you wanna' suggest something, or if you have anything to discuss.

Podcast 7
- Two Germans and a Texan
Description: That's right, Sam is back and has brought his friend Pixie to talk about...*gulp* the differences and similarities between WoW and Ryzom. Like we say, you can't ignore the 800 pound gorilla, or you wind up with poo on your face!
Furthermore, we are reaching into new heights as we attempt to record more than two anchors, live! There are several difficulties when dealing with a conference type recording, such as lag, dropped calls, and the sort but that doesn't stop us from having a great time! Additionally, watch your volume please, due to audio levels fluctuating (especially when we start laughing like school children!).
This is a special, LONG episode so sit back, open some Tryker wine and give a listen!

Podcast 6
- Box of Chocolates (Click to Listen)
Description: Hey all you fellow Atysians!
Podcast 6 is done and ready for your listening pleasure! This week I talk about forum drama, news, my favorite 3 loud mobs, pvp/op fights, stanzas, the top 10 do's and dont's for the universe channel, and a choose your own tryker adventure! Thanks to all my listeners that have sent me emails. And remember, I'm looking for contributions from the community. Record yourself, in whatever format and send it to beau@beauturkey.com; I would especially like to hear from the female players out there! I know you're there, and we need to hear from you!
As a side note, during recording, I was suffering from a small cold and congestion, so therefore my voice is a little harsh -- please forgive me. And finally, thanks to The Warcry network for helping me out...go sign up for their site. It's chock full of gaming nuggets! See ya in game!

Podcast 5
- Of Brides and Factions
Description: That's right, it's that time again! This week I talk a little bit about a KILLER Rp/PvP event I attended on saturday, as well as discuss the two factions in the game: The Kami and the Karavan. I'm missing Mad Sam this week, being that he has been a little busy and that we both keep missing each other. An 8 hour time difference can be a real hassle. Also I go forward with my "choose his own adventure" skit at the end of the show. Thanks MOG.
So, go to http://www.beauturkey.com/ryzom/ryzpvp.html to see the film I put together and to see a ton of the screenshots I took.
Thanks for listening and just you wait till next week!
Beau.

Podcast 4
- Named Mobs (Click to Listen)
Description: This week we attempt a live in-game podcast, with Sam attempting to take me along on his trek to kill some named NPC's. The cool thing is, hearing him do this is the closest I am going to get to one of these guys for a long time. All I can say is "Click...BOOM!"
I also rant a little about some things I would like to see fixed in game, but of course everyone knows that it is meant in the nicest way possible...we Atysians love our world but want to make sure it comes across in the best way possible. Please note, the sound quality is still being worked on, and I'm receiving tips from players and other 'casters alike, but it's still very much a work in progress.
|
Podcast 3 - My First Trek (Click to Listen)
Description:
This week I'll be telling you a funny story, and will be introducing my new co-host, Sam (or Acridiel on the forums) from SoR radio and Ryzom Movies! This guy knows his Ryzom, and makes me feel like a total noob!
|
Podcast 2
- About the Lore
Description:
I burn through some chatter and talk about Ryzom, of course. I've had a killer time in Ryzom this week, but my noobishness is wearing off and soon I will be conquering planet Atys!
Next week I will be adding some more about lore, and more about the magic in game.

Podcast 1

Welcome and thanks for checking out Atys' first PODCAST! It's rough right now, but will grow every week. If you'd like to contribute to the 'cast, you can send in MP3's or emails to beau@beauturkey.com.
