The LifeStream.Net Podcast - Episode 2

*EDITORS NOTE* Sorry for the lateness of the posting of the show. I've been very sick for the last few days. Still battling a very nasty upper respiratory infection. I very much hope you guys enjoy this.

Needs a featured image Vader!!!!!

EDIT: I went ahead and added it for you. I didn't have the image anywhere but then I noticed you put one in your post there so it's all good . Good job on the article, I'll give it a listen when I can.

It has one. For some reason I can't seem to get it to show up on the post. I didn't do anything differently than I have for the last several shows. I'm working on figuring it out.

*EDIT* Well now it seems to be showing up just fine. Must have been a bug in the system or something.

When I went in to add the featured image, there wasn't one set. It may just have borked. Remember it's a seperate box at the bottom right of the edit page

Okay, thanks for sharing that tip with me. I actually hadn't used the featured image setting in either of my previous two podcast news articles and the image popped up with no issues. That's kind of bizarre.

Regardless, I will use that setting going forward.

^That means someone's been in and done it for you XD. It wasn't me last time but it was this time. I'll stop clogging this thread up with backstage chat now though

Tetsujin's "On the Way to a Remake" Retrospective

I probably could've added to the discussion there but I keep forgetting to take part in these because I'm a derp.

We definitely need to get you on an episode. Perhaps, we can get you on Episode 3 in a few weeks. I'll contact you when it gets closer.

Listening to it nao

Correction on World of Final Fantasy: (I know no one cares about it, but) it's not a mobile game, it's exclusive for PS4 and Vita.

Nah, it's a fallback feature I made. If no image is set, it will pick the image last added to the article - if said image is an attachment uploaded to WP, that is. (Hotlinks don't work.)

Edit: I was going to check if that's how it works, but someone's removed my Admin rights

I think they were removed when you resigned

Heh, right.

Do you want me to check something for you? If it's a forum feature I can probably check it, but I need more details. I don't know if I have front page access though.

I'm pretty sure it was me who removed those. I'm also pretty sure we had a conversation about it. Or I should say, we had a conversation (via text on Skype IIRC) about your permissions when you resigned (where I asked if there were any permissions you wanted to keep) then I removed them.

Re: Podcast, yeah you'll be needed Tets. I won't be able to make the next episode most likely and I don't know if Flint will either.

I won't be available for the next ten or eleven days, and we should try to record a new episode in that time.

haha Nice podcast once again you guys. I'm really digging the new format. Much more planned out, less going off topic. Before it was basically on a random whim someone would be all, "Hey, want to do a podcast?"

This seems more professional.

What would the next one be about?

That would be up to the news/vader/you

So yeah Flint and I are out for the next one apparently. With Tets, Carlie, Vader and (JasonTandro?) that should be enough people on its own anyway. Although it'd be nice to see another European jump in. Any volunteers?

Since there hasn't been any real major news breaking over the last week or so, I thought we might take a look back at Final Fantasy IX since we recently passed the 15th anniversary of the release of the game. Is that something you're interested in conversing about?

OMG yes. I mentioned it before but FFIX is my favorite RPG of all time.

I do like FFIX a lot although it's been ages since I last played it.

FFIX has been in my top three FF games since I played it. So yeah, I’d welcome discussion of it

Same with me, Tets. However, I don't think we have to get super in-depth with it at this point. This is more of just a simple look back. Discuss some of our favorite things about the game. Discuss the characters. Give a bit of background on the development of the game. Maybe provide a quick plot breakdown.

Should be doable I guess

I'm down to join in on that one. I'll let you know what my schedule looks like ASAP.
