It was genius. I consumed it with my ears.

UPDATE: We have resubmitted the podcast to iTunes. For this to work, we were required to change the Link and Title fields of the podcast. They will be changed back once the podcast is approved.

If you begin to experience difficulties accessing the Megaphones Ahoy! Podcast in the next week or so as a result of these changes, please use the method described above to resubscribe manually.

Hopefully this process will result in our being relisted on the iTunes store soon. Thanks for understanding!

@Darth/Cameron: Correct. If you are already subscribed to the podcast, then you won’t have any problems. The issue exists for people who are trying to find us on the iTunes store to add us for the first time.

I rec’v'd an e-mail from iTunes today though that asks me to change the feed listing and relist it–then to change it back. This may result in your current iTunes subscription failing.

Bear with us (Apple, really) as we try to sort out what is wrong with their system from our end.

@CameronS: Yeah, I’m still using iTunes to download MAP, I assumed the problems would be for new subscribers and the like, since it no longer shows up under the iTunes store. I think since we subscribed before it was pulled, iTunes already knows the feed URL and can handle things from there (same as following the Advanced->Subscribe to Podcast method), but somebody correct me if I’m wrong. Regardless of the technical details, though, I do agree, it was an excellent episode :D.

Nate! You stole that still of you off of my Facebook! I believe some reparations are in order…

But anyway, this was probably one of the funniest shows you guys have ever done. I’ve never been so embarrassed to bust out laughing on the bus back to my dorm. And by the way, I’ve been getting the show through iTunes perfectly since day 1… maybe it’s because I’m already subscribed?

I’m strongly with Lusipurr, Oyashiro, and SN on this one. DLC is the slipperiest of slopes, and it’s going to get much worse as developers test and extend the limits of how much the consumer will accept. I unfortunately and unwisely purchased the latest Madden and was disgusted with how far they have gone. You are given the option of paying real money over and above the 68 dollar price for things such as alternate uniforms and the ability to manipulate your players stats and other such cheats. Unfortunately, there is no easy solution to halting all this. Any single person’s boycott will be useless – somehow we need to get a critical mass of consumers to not take part in these “microtransactions”, and be actively angry when a game company crosses the line.

Maybe the entire Tomb Raider franchise is actually an elaborate hoax perpetrated by NATE LILES.

Seriously, who plays Tomb Raider? I haven’t ever played ANY of them.
