Atmosphir + Podcast = Atmocast

Throughout its history, Atmosphir has experienced several types of media coverage. These range from numerous blogs to live sessions of the game all the way to crazy machinima creations. Last Friday, a new Atmosphir media surfaced.

Hosted by Wowfunhappy, Bigdrip681, Colinnn, Marcod, and Kaiserg, Atmocast hit the air. Due to some technical difficulties, there was a delay in the broadcast time, and two members of the team were unable to actively participate. Nevertheless, it seemed to be a hit with the community.

This group of well-known Atmosphir players held a live talk show where they discussed various aspects of Atmosphir. Topics included recent updates, gossip within the community, current events, and hot topics. Each host brought a different opinion to the table, making for an interesting conversation. Viewers were able to offer their own opinions and comment on the show through the live chat placed on the broadcasting site, Justin.tv.

While the team admitted that the technical difficulties were unfortunate, they’ve assured the community that they learned quite a bit from the experience and will use that knowledge to improve future episodes. Aside from some minor criticism, the show seemed to earn positive feedback from the community as a whole. Dave (OkaySamurai) himself tuned in to the show and expressed his love for it. In a comment on the feedback thread for the show, he said “That was GREAT! Genuinely funny, interesting discussions...I loved it.”

After the success of their debut, the team is excited to return on Friday, May 28 for yet another exciting episode. The show is expected to begin at 3:00 PT / 6:00 ET at www.justin.tv/atmocast. The team encourages anyone to come take part in the fun, and appreciates the support of the community.

If you missed the first episode, there’s no reason to worry. Kaiserg has provided the community with a downloadable version of the show, with an official iTunes Podcast listing coming soon. You can find the download and summary of the show here.

That’s all for today, thanks for reading!
