So I've decided that I should review games. don't think the blind community ever had an actual full blown review where you can hear the game and get an overall opinion from the reviewer. truthfully shitloads of that stuff are floating around on Youtube and where ever else, so...
For this first and I bet ruff review, I am going to review an older game, alien invasion, by code factory. I am not going to focus purely on audio games though, that'd get too borring. I hope I can review you don't know jack in the future, that's another fun game, and no, it wasn't made for the blind, but still it is accessible and it'd get a higher rating then a.i but I didn't think of that at the time.
Get ready for some humor, weird comments and other weird things!

a little announcement
Hi there, this is Peter Mahach, the dude behind PMCast!
Ok guys, this is not an episode this time, and pmcast isn't going anywhere, how ever.
Due to the lack of space on my dropbox I have decided to convert all episodes to .ogg. this means they are much smaller in size. however the format is not as common as mp3 and podcatchers may break. I know some of you may find the switch inconvenient, but it was either this or no more episodes in the future.
A lot of episodes that have been recorded with Kevin and sometimes even Bryan can be found in kevin's The random ramblings of pointlessness podcast found at http://trrop.blogspot.com/
There is also a podcast(s) perhaps that I helped with that aren't here, such as the awesome gameboy advance review starting from his phizical unit moving to emulation on the pc an hitting a nearly 1 hour exactly mark!

episode 11: flight simulator, blind pilots and crazy heads
Microsoft flight simulator was known to blind people for quite a while now.
No wonder. it's one of these complicated but fun things. Blind people can't fly in rl but considering that there are computer simulations for almost anything these days....
In this podcast, I show you a boing 747 in fs 2004 with a nice soundpack from turbine sound studios, wih fs navigator as I can't get it's your plane to install. after making a nice successful takeoff, just when everyone thinks it'll be a smooth flight I delibretly shut down all engins in sequence. you can hear the auto pilot throttle up the remaining ones as it compensates as well as the whines as they power down. and of course then the plane goes into a crazy freefall, complete with epic sfx. 10000 feet down in 15 seconds. you don't hear that often. not to mention there was a thunderstorm and kevin sat down next to me as the announcer.
So buckle up, relax and...
