So while our leader is sunning himself in sunny Cambridge, the Pocket Gamer podcast gains some northern grit - and background noise - in the back of a Manchester pub.
Podcast regulars Jon and Keith are joined by Pocket Gamer's 3DS - and all round grumpy, if loud laughing indie games - journo Michael - Mike - Rose, who hasn't shaved for three weeks. Can you hear that beard?
In other fashion news, Keith has had a hair cut and Jon's wearing a waistcoat...
Games? Oh, yes. Them too.
We talk about Forever Drive, Vlambeer's various indie games, Jetpack Joystick, DrawRace 2, Spy Mouse (again) and more of the week's new releases, the week's hot news and why the 3DS is a bit crap.
It's just what we do when we do the Man-pod-chester.

Despite being officially on holiday, I'm currently talking to Jon about getting hold of the raw recordings for this episode, and will hopefully have a re-mastered (that is to say, "completely re-made, remixed, re-compressed, and re-packaged") episode over the weekend.
Naturally, if the recording quality is at fault then there's not much I can do. I suspect it's a compression issue, however, which is far easier to deal with.
P.s. Was that a backhanded compliment, Japonlindo? ;-)

Terrible podcast. Just terrible. You guys need more presentation skills. I had to turn it off in 5 minutes.

The sound quality on this podcast it wretched. I looked forward to when Will is back, because then you can understand it. I also wish you would turn down the volume on your intro. It hurts the ears!
