With part three coming out next week, I was looking for the audio version of part one, but the only link I found on the forums was a dead link. Is it on the site anywhere?

Oh, I moved all the audio stuff around the other day because the audio release of UF/FI/S5M2 Clarion Call was clobbering my home bandwidth. I'm toying with the notion of putting together a proper presentation for all the audio stuff I've done, but I need more data on how (if at all) serving such big files affects our host server's pipe before I commit to that.

In the meantime, you can find the existing TIA audio here, without any presentation at all. The recording quality's not the best I've ever managed, but they're serviceable.

If you (and I'm using the plural "you" here) grab them, please do so one file at a time, rather than in batches, to minimize the potential pipe-clobbering. As mentioned, I don't have definitive data for how much of this our new situation can take yet.

Ah, thanks Gryph. I've been listening to audiobooks at work for the past few days, and your stuff has really been helping.

Thanks for putting these up, by the way. Audio quality didn't seem all that bad to my untrained ears, the annoying part was the odd pauses between chunks of speech inside each track.

But just the same, I really, really, enjoyed these. I spent most of the weekend listening to them and I must say, it really improved such experiences as donating blood at the Red Cross and driving home in freeway traffic and driving low-visiblity rain. Thanks a lot, Gryph.

Though I run the risk of being labeled some sort of content-hungry semirabid crackweasel, I have to ask: do you have any plans on doing an audio version of This Year's Model?

I'm not sure their bandwidth could take the strain if he does. Maybe in a couple of months once our... Rabiditiy? for lack of a better term, dies down; then again it just might stir it back up.

I have, in fact, done an audio version of This Year's Model. However, the server does not have sufficient disk space for me to put it up for distribution at the moment. We're looking into it.

Awright. I can wait 'til you figure out however it's going to go. I can wait.

I do have a... slight bit more space on my webdomain (to the tune of 600 gigs of diskspace.) My bandwidth is also huge, HUGE, HUGE.

If you want to toss them onboard, feel free to talk to me about it at pyrosen at biolante.org

That's a big Twinkie.

Anyway, thanks for the various hosting offers, and I'd have taken the first one I got (cheers, Zox :), but Dave cleared a bunch of space and it ended up not being necessary - for the time being. If the bandwidth demands prove to cause trouble, though, we may revisit this issue later.

For now, enjoy. Please grab it one file at a time to spread out the load on the pipe a bit.

Blame it on the Code Monster deal two years back with Dreamhost. I get 40 gigs a week.

Now finding a use for it...that's tough. (I will entertain potential buyers, though--10$ a month for 10 gigs is pretty nice, with free mail and bandwidth. Redirection is a different beast, though.)

I just listened to the Iron Age #1. You did the Mechwarrior 2 onboard computer voice. That made my day.

That thing you burned up isn't important to me. It's the fluid catalytic cracking unit. It made shoes for orphans. Nice job breaking it, hero.

Well, in the computer game, I kinda like range. :)

My buddy played more tabletop than I did, though, and had custom mechs built specifically like that that he used as hidden mechs. Surprise! Have a rediculous chance to crit. He later moved on to the little unguided short range missiles for the same reason. I don't know how he didn't get tired from rolling his dice all the damn time. :)

Probably trained for it by playing Shadowrun First Edition.

Heh! I think I was actually going for the MechWarrior 4 computer voice, but it wouldn't surprise me much if they used the same recorded samples anyway, so. :)
