The Contempt For This Episode - Page 4

nabokovfan87 · 04-02-2010, 08:05 AM

Lol, on the ps forums and giantbomb.com people are all like "I work tech support and I wouldn't have helped you either!". Talking about "you catch more flies with honey" and all that bullshit. After 20 minutes on the phone/hold to repeat the entire process because you were transferred to someone who has to put me on hold for 20 more minutes.... I think I'm allowed to be a little pissed.

Calgar99 · 04-09-2010, 08:29 PM

Can we expect a new episode next week? Cold turkey is tough ya know

Limee · 04-10-2010, 05:36 AM

Recording on Monday according to the twitter.

bulletfood · 04-10-2010, 08:20 AM

If you ask me, the lack of recording is all because I'm not there. I go away to Hawaii for a few weeks and the show goes on hiatus. Coincidence? Luckily for everyone I'll be back in Montgomery late tonight so we'll be able to record a new show on Monday.

Limee · 04-10-2010, 02:35 PM

Hawaii, all right for some! If things don't pick up once you are back then we will know who to blame....

Abyssion · 04-10-2010, 02:45 PM

I'm glad you guys are recording on Monday, it's been too long (at least it feels that way). I'm expecting a 4 hour epic episode...

Nabokov,

I would try filing your complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Obviously talking to Sony anymore won't get you anywhere, and this will actually get you acknowledged. The BBB is a company that is recognized around the country as giving ratings to other companies based on their friendliness. Filing a complaint with the BBB will definitely get you farther than going to Sony.

For instance, i had a friend on who had to get a replacement cell phone from T-Mobile. Long story short he got 4 refurbished ones, all of which the screens broke on, and after paying for three of them he was fed up, and filed a complaint with the BBB. Two days later he received a call from the Office of the Vice President of T-Mobile, who immediately gave him a brand spanking new phone and a few months of free service.

Thats my two cents

Worth a try. Most of the big companies, specifically those that treat you like crap in their typical dealings won't give a shit though, but you might get lucky

Thanks for the comments folks: this is why I won't be able to do something like that.

I don't follow the twitter or anything, is there some reason for the hiatus I'm not aware of?

Should I be worried or indignant?

LOUD NOISES!

Calgar99 · 04-15-2010, 02:11 AM

They recorded a show on monday, when it will be released I don't know. I think they took break due outside influences like PAX East, families and holidays. Looking forward to what the guys cooked up though

Wraith · 04-17-2010, 08:07 AM

Maybe it's just my iTunes screwing up again, but:

"In-Game Chat" does not seem to be a valid Podcast URL.
Please check that you have entered the correct URL and try again.

I right-click, Update Podcast, get the little (!) icon next to it, and get this message when I click on the icon.

I figure I have the most recent episode anyway (the one for this thread), but hadn't seen this error before.

Just remvoe the podcast and re-add it. It has happened on my Zune before, too.

Psykoboy2 · 04-17-2010, 09:54 AM

No, I don't think it's iTunes this time. Something's up with the site. Usually it's just a matter of just paying our host, but this doesn't seem to be the case this time.

Not sure what's up, but we're looking into it.

Or it could be that, too.

Try going to the RSS provider (unless you do it yourself) and resync the rss with the feed provider.

Psykoboy2 · 04-18-2010, 10:36 PM

We're now having other issues with getting the show up. James or Strax could possibly better explain the issue, but I know it's being looked into, I just don't know an eta on getting it resolved. Sorry about this...

lucklesswonder · 04-18-2010, 11:09 PM

I'd say I have lost all faith in humanity, but let's face it, that happened a long time ago.

Though who knows? Maybe you guys caused it then, too.

Straximus · 04-19-2010, 08:49 AM

Basically, what happened was that our host changed our IP. I just had to find it, and update our DNS. Of course, it took a little bit to propagate, but I imagine everyone should be squared away by now.
