[EWCP] EWCPcast, 1-5-12 and 1-8-12, Twas the night before kickoff and Game Reactions

[thefro526]

Hey everyone, it's that time of year again, the moment that our lives become dominated by robots and competitions and EWCPcast hopes to make it a bit easier for all of us.

On Thursday Night, January the 5th, we'll be doing our 'Twas the night before Kick-off cast'. The basic outline is this:

-Good practices for analyzing the game.
-Good practices for brain storming.
-Good practices for prototyping.
-Efficient use of the critical first week of build.
-Basic Build Scheduling.

Then, on Sunday Night, January 8th, we'll be doing our 'Initial Game Reactions' cast. The basic outline is this:

-Overall impressions of the game.
-Interesting rules.
-Predictions of how the game may or may not play out.
-An in-depth discussion about the lack of minibots.... (A guy can dream right )
-Game Piece sourcing, if available....
-Open call in period for listeners to talk about their thoughts on the game.

There will be minimal in-depth game analyzable in this cast - we're doing this to prevent influencing teams design decisions....

As always, the casts will be live at 9pm EST and posted to iTunes and Talkshoe shortly after they end. This link will take you to the talkshoe page for the cast: www.talkshoe.com/tc/98466

Hope you can all tune in.
