Ciris: The plan is to also get the audio out in podcast locations like iTunes - so a regular podcast format is also in the plans! :)
You could try using Soundcloud. It's very popular around Podcasters.
Am i doin something wrong or is the podcast not uploaded on youtube yet?

outstarwalker: Thing is, we all recorded our audio separately so it should sound good in edited version that SJ is preparing. :)
That's good to hear. I will give it another try when the edited version is online. Yesterday I turned it off after 20-30 minutes, because I couldn't understand half the stuff that was said.
Is there a TL;DR? Were there any revelations?
Dont got it.

popperik: Is there a TL;DR? Were there any revelations?
Nothing was revealed, sadly... it was a good, entertaining show, but unfortunately GOG is still too secretive about their upcoming releases. The fact the Stream Team is independent from the "actual" GOG Staff doesn't help, since they're even more restricted in what they can disclose and talk about.

To be fair, I think that if you're not a GOGcom twitch regular, this podcast hasn't got much to offer you. I doubt that people outside the GOG twitch community know who ScreamingJoypad, Outstarwalker, Memoriesin8bit or MegapiemanPhD are, and if you don't know them, chances are you couldn't care less about them and their opinions. As the show stands now, it feels more like an inside thing, to me. Interesting, entertaining, but not particularly relevant.

As for a TL;DR, that would go against the point of a podcast, wouldn't it? It's just people discussing gaming related stuff and having fun with each other and chat, there's no point in summarizing what games Memoriesin8bit or Outstar or any of the others have been playing (especially when some of those are games that aren't even available on GOG).

All we forum regulars or semi-regulars know this has been a very slow start of the year for GOG; no releases that really stand out, only "meh" games in genres that the more vocal people in here don't particularly enjoy, and that was mirrored by 8bit at the beginning of the podcast, as well. Other than that, I don't think there was anything worth mentioning for the GOG forum community regulars.

groze: Useful info
Thanks, it's the kind of information I was looking for :)

I didn't know who any of them were as I don't use/watch twitch all that much. But I found it pretty entertaining and they did say they are going to try to get some people from GOG onto the show when they work all that out. Looking forward to episode 2.
The first GOGcast was special in the matter of having only StreamTeam members in it. Plan is, ScreamingJoypad will be the main host joined by 3 StreamTeam members and a special guest - either a developer or known gaming entertainer.

As the first episode served as a test, we invited Shane from RerezTV (who streamed for us in the past) to be our "special guest" for the day. We did a test together, but unfortunately Shane didn't show up in the day of podcast because of unexpected occurences.

So, this episode is more casual than planned, as we talk a lot about games we personally play and enjoy. Future GOGcasts may be more interesting for the general GOG.com community and less about us as ST members. :)
I wondered when the New GogCast #2 will show up on youtube as I missed it and would love to see if some of my twitter questions were answered.
How's the feed coming along?

I've been waiting, too. You can watch it on-demand on Twitch, though, if you don't mind that the video is broken into weird-sized pieces (and the first part appears to be mislabeled, but the thumbnail gives it away).
Thanks HunchBluntley as I did not know where they kept the past episodes until you linked to it.

No problem. And yeah, it's weird that there's no link to that page directly from the livestream page (though there are links on the right to select "highlighted" videos); you have to get to it through the profile page.
The feed is coming - do not worry - we are working on it :-)
