TheLifeStream.Net Podcast - Episode 4

You know, I watched that Disney horror movie in school once. It was called Watcher in the Woods and I couldn't make much sense of the plot. Something about a girl trapped in a mirror. My teacher said they made it to prove they could do more than just kids movies if they wanted to.

A release date for the FF7 Remake would be ideal but highly unlikely. I would love them to at least discredit the rumors of a 2016 release. Also since I'm certain if this makes it on the air it will be read in a silly voice: icky icky icky batang zoo-boing yaaaa.... ni!

I don't know what I'd want a an announcement. I'm pretty laid back about those. I suppose maybe some gameplay footage for the remake if they're far enough into development. The silly voices were amusing when you did them. I can't help but think it'd be weird to read feedback about silly voices in a silly voice.

Well, FFVII Remake news won't come until Winter, that much is confirmed.

I'll reiterate what I said on the podcast, I'm hoping for an FFXV release date or at least a general release window. Fall 2016 is my guess.

For Kingdom Hearts III at D23 I'd only expect some new gameplay footage or announcements of worlds.
Also: Announcement of KH:3D HD for PS3/PS4. Gotta need to fill the gap until the release for KHIII.

I hope they announce the FFXII remake.

It would have been really funny if at E3 they came on and showed World of FF, then said "Now many years ago, Square Enix released a groundbreaking title, that went on to become one of the most beloved games in Playstation and video game history! Tonight, I am proud to announce that by popular demand, we have a very special treat for everyone."
And showed FFXII
Then repeated, "Now many years ago, Square Enix released a groundbreaking title, that went on to become one of the most beloved games in Playstation and video game history! Tonight, I am proud to announce that by popular demand, we have a very special treat for everyone!"

It would have done FFXII a disservice, but it would have been epic. I guess they may have held off announcing it for a different event. Hopefully Gamescom.

If this turns out to be true and they do announce it at Gamescom, I hope it's epic! I really want a FFXII HD Re-Master with the option to play either the original version or the Zodiac Job System version. If it has to be one or the other, I hope it's the Zodiac Job System version.

Maybe we'll turn this into our main topic for discussion next ep!

*EDIT* By the way, we have received our first email and I'm super stoked about it! We'll definitely be reading feedback from the listeners next episode.

Oooh, what did they say?

Ahh, but you will have to wait for the next episode to find out.

I will say that it is was very positive and that this listener stumbled upon the show on Youtube. It seems that I have underestimated the power of Youtube with the podcast.

Oh btw, I noticed the Jedi reflex issue happens to you now, vader

It did? I didn't notice it. Do you have a time code where you noticed it?

When you say you expect a full report and I say 'yeah sure', you laughed afterwards but here it happens at the same time

10:44 I say "A loading screen as a reward?" And you answer "Right?" at the same time

And possibly a few more.

Thanks for this Tets!

I think on your first example I was actually laughing at myself over making the full report remark.

At 10:44, you are totally right. Grrr. And here I thought I got it all lined up properly this time.

You should check out Adobe Audition. Its so much better, and lot less buggy than Audacity.

I've thought about doing this but I've heard it's not nearly as user friendly or intuitive as Audacity. That's why I've been kind of scared about trying to switch over to it.
