Another update on what's happening

Nerd Fortress Podcast Update

Listeners may be wondering "Why hasn't there been a new episode?" for more than quite a while now. Truth is that going back and re-watching Kamen Rider Wizard is going to take some additional time so I decided to hold off on it as a topic for the podcast for now.

The other main reason is that Devin and myself have been doing other things lately and have decided to talk about the previous generation of gaming consoles since the next generation of consoles are coming out in the next 2 weeks starting with the Playstation 4 on November 15th here in North America and then the X Box One on November 22nd in Europe and North America. Also, we are going to try and get this episode recorded before the holidays start here in North America which means that would be our last show of 2013!

And the 3rd reason is that I've been mostly busy playing Batman: Arkham Origins and Kamen Rider: Battride War on the PS3 which have really taken a lot of hours to get through as far as the main storyline goes for both games, but I will go into more detail about both games on the next episode.

We will definitely keep you guys posted!

A bit of an update

The Nerd Fortress Update

Hey there everyone! Recorded a bit of an update as to what's been going on that's been causing the delay of the next episode from being released and piled together some stuff from the 2nd episode to keep everybody busy until the episode is eventually released. But we sure could used you're comments as well as feedback on the first episode.

You can email us at officialnerdfortresspodcast@gmail.com or contact Devin or myself on Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter pages! And we will in fact read you're comments on the podcast before we end the show! Also, I've decided that the podcast will take a week off since there isn't much to talk about like there was this past Friday and we will return next Wednesday since Tokyo Game Show in Tokyo, Japan will be over and there will be stuff to talk about from there as well as the release of Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures on Steam next Monday so I'll give my review of that next week as well.

And we actually need more time to look up things to talk about on the podcast!  We both apologize for the delay, but it will be well worth it when the 2nd episode is released which will be soon! Thanks for you're patience and understanding.

The Nerd Fortress Mini Episode #1

The Nerd Fortress Podcast by Supersentaifan1983 on Mixcloud

This was supposed to be originally about the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers, but unfortunately, there were a couple of technical difficulties so the entire thing wasn't recorded. Good news is that we at least talked about Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie.  Unfortunately, Skype ended up crashing and the MP3 Skype Recorder only got over the first hour, so I decided to make this a mini episode with what was already recorded instead.

Anyways, next week will be the first official episode without any technical issues hopefully so please keep you're eyes glued to this blog for when it will be uploaded onto my Soundcloud page! And please feel free to download the mini episode to hear how the podcast has improved!

Some updates as to what's going on lately

So we are only 2 weeks away from the return of the Nerd Fortress podcast as well as the 20th anniversary of the Power Rangers franchise. It's very hard to believe that it's been 20 years since the Power Rangers franchise began with the premiere episode "Day of The Dumpster". And as far as I know, Nickelodeon isn't going to do anything special for the 20th anniversary which continues to show how much they care about the franchise. As far as the podcast goes, we have been able to snag somebody for a guest appearance which is better than not having anybody as a guest at all.

I know that I've been neglecting this blog for a while, but that doesn't mean I'm going to quit posting on it completely though! I've been so preoccupied with other things and didn't really feel that there was much to post about in my opinion. I would have posted about the newest thing in the AKB48 fandom causing an absolute uproar but felt that it was better to just do a post about it on my twitter.

I'm not going to go over it in full detail, but you can find out about it here and judge for yourselves!

And I've been trying to catch up on the new Garo series as well as Kamen Rider Wizard and Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger before I start watching the latest entry in the long running Ultraman franchise, Ultraman Ginga. And Kamen Rider Wizard has 3 episodes left before it's big finale. This is also the first time that an entry in the Neo Heisei Era of the Kamen Rider franchise where there was 51 episodes. This hasn't happened since Kamen Rider Black, the 8th entry in the Kamen Rider franchise which aired from October 4, of 1987 to October 9, of 1988.

Anyways, I'm not sure about how we are going to be releasing the premiere episode of the podcast, but Devin and myself will figure that out once we get around to it. I'm also going to be setting up an email address for the podcast for people to get in contact with us and give us fan feedback. The big show is only 2 weeks away from now! And I'm not going to be sharing anymore details than that. So that's what's been going on lately and why I haven't updated the blog in a while. See you guys in the next 2 weeks!

Power Rangers 20th Anniversary!

It's almost been 20 years since the Power Rangers franchise began which is very hard to believe!

I know, I know, the official anniversary isn't until August 28th of 2013 but still. Now, for those of you who may or may not know, I've had this idea brewing in my head to have a special edition of the Nerd Fortress podcast celebrating the 20th anniversary of the franchise here in America.

And this is also going to be a good way to try and come back to the world of podcasting I feel!

Granted, I'm going to need to find a way to learn some audio stuff between now and August 28th, but this has been something that I've had planned ever since the original inception of the podcast. (No pun or relation to the movie intended)

I might get some other people to join in for this as well so it won't be just myself and my new co-host Devin which I feel would definitely work out a lot better. I'll try and talk to some people and see what happens but I'm not promising anything. But I'd really like to get some other people for this very momentous occasion. If I don't get anybody else on board, at least I can say that I tried!

Nothing is really set in stone as of yet so this gives me plenty of time to brainstorm and what not! And if anything does end up happening, I want it to be a surprise to everybody. That means I'm not going to be letting any type of information out into the open at all whatsoever, so you will have to wait and find out!

But for now I'll leave you with this, the 2nd intro for season 1 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that was used from the finale of the "Green With Evil" mini-series up until the start of season 2! "May the power protect you!"

A little bit of an update on stuff....No good news

Hello everyone, it's been quite a while since I updated this blog!

I wish that I had some good news to give you, but I don't unfortunately. The podcast isn't moving anywhere and nobody's shown any interest in wanting to participate so I've been thinking about putting it on an indefinite hiatus instead of cancelling it outright! I hope that all of the listeners out there can understand.

If nothing changes by October, then I'm just going to delete the main page of the blog and leave the episode download page for anyone that would want to download the only 4 episodes of the podcast that were recorded!

I do have another blog that you can follow if you want to! http://otakunerd1983.blogspot.com/

Also, please be aware that I won't be uploading anything new in the terms of audio stuff on here at this blog. Anyways, I've got some ideas about just going solo and doing my own thing to help improve my podcasting craft if it were because I'm still brand new with this. I'll let you guys know if anything happens on my other blog, if anything!

That's the thing about life, it's always full of surprises and you never know where it will lead you! And speaking of which, if you ever feel like you have had enough and want to give up as well as take the easy way out, then watch this motivational speech from the host of Toonami here in America, T.O.M. voiced by Steve Blum and listen to his words of wisdom.





Thanks for listening to The Nerd Fortress podcast, it really does mean a lot and I greatly appreciate each and everyone of you who stuck with us through this unexpectedly short journey, especially to the international listeners as well that aren't from America and haven't been here before! Thanks again!
