Push to Regen, Ep. 1

[MultipleManArmy]

Hello everyone. JCorduroy and myself have taken a crack at making a Podcast based on basic Heroclix game strategy and team building. It's a lighthearted thing and we aren't the best players on earth but hopefully it gets you thinking about new ways to play our beloved game.

It can be found at this location (http://pushtoregen.podbean.com) but it should be up on iTunes soon.

We are just starting out in the podcast world and we're still refining our technique and learning the technical side of recording but we appreciate any comments, questions, suggestions, criticisms, pure internet troll hatred you'd like to give us. You can contact us via Twitter @pushtoregen or via email at pushtoregen.gmail.com or through the comments portion of the podcast page. Thanks.

[MultipleManArmy]

Oh, and if you enjoy the show, you can comment here as well.

[darkchild81]

Awesome, downloading it right now to take it to work.

[oreoofl]

Oh, and if you enjoy the show, you can comment here as well.

Very cool. Will you update this thread with new podcasts?

Keep on clickin' :)

[MultipleManArmy]

I'd like to work on getting this podcast up in the RealmsRadio section along with ClixCast but I'll update this thread with new info until a better solution comes along.

[MultipleManArmy]

Just realized that in the podcast I say Groot, Rocket Raccon, Jack Flag, the Scorpio Key, and the ATA is 300 points but that was before the ATA dropped a point. It's now a 297 point team. My bad.

[darkchild81]

I finished listening to the podcast, and it is AWESOME! I can't believe this is your first podcast because you guys sound like you've been doing it for hundreds of episodes. Its obvious that you guys are friends because it all sounds so natural. I love all the different segments, the "Common Fig" and "$3 Team" segments are genius. And its great that you have a DC and Marvel guy, so its balanced. And the email part was great too, don't leave it out. There weren't any low points of the podcast, everything was informative and entertaining. Just keep on doing it like you did.

If I had to offer one suggestion, it would be to edit the intro song a little different, its a cool song, but maybe fade it out a bit so you start talking over it, so it doesn't end so abruptly. I know that's real nit-picky, but that's honestly the only thing that you can improve on.

But way to go, this is going to be my new favorite tabletop gaming podcast. I can't wait for new episodes. Give us an RSS feed!

[BaconTorpedo]

I miss Clixcast. Thank you Push to Regen. I needed a RealmsRadio fix. Can't wait for the next one.

[JCorduroy]

Guys, thank you so much for the feedback, we truly appreciate it!

As for the intro song - yes, that was edited as I was kind of running out of energy, and it'll be better for episode 2. :)

So everyone is aware - and so we set realistic expectations - we'll be a bi-weekly show, so our next episode will be out on the 11th of March.

Thank you for the podcast, and thank you for introducing me to Adam Warrock. I'm going on a buy spree.

Very cool. I listen to a lot of podcasts traveling for school so I'll be sure to add this to my list. I'll be on the look out for it on Itunes. :)

[JCorduroy]

We're up on iTunes! (http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/pushtoregen/id505873142)

Great job gents, i look forward to future casts!

[MultipleManArmy]

So does anyone know who the moderators involved with RealmsRadio are or how we could contact them to maybe work out a way we could get this into the podcast network and not have to keep spamming the strategy forum?

[MultipleManArmy]

And now we are available on Stitcher! Click Here! (http://stitcher.com/listen.php?fid=21647)

Subscribed! Listening to it now!

[spike1138]

I've subscribed and downloaded the initial episode. Haven't had a chance to sync up my iPhone but I'll do so in the next few days.

[lucidrayn]

I Approve! Keep it going! :D

It's really on Typhon with how he wants to handle it.
I've sent him link to the thread.

[Typhon]

Shoot me a PM; We're all about having additional stations on our platform (we actually host 4 podcasts, but not all of them are heroclix related). I'll try to listen to your cast today to see if it would be a good fit. Thanks!

[superflyMP]

Listened to it yesterday, enjoyed it. Subscribed on iTunes today. Nice job!

[DemonRS]

Listened to it last night when doing stuff around the house.. Good stuff! Nice work guys!

[Owlman166]

Great podcast, guys!

[Owlman166]

The Dread Dormammu is getting my Gauntlet. So is Black Bolt on an Illuminati theme team. Also thinking about Scorpio, too.

[JCorduroy]

Oooh, I gotta test drive that Scorpio idea...

I'm also considering running a 5 Batroc team with one wearing the Gauntlet as a silly team...but it could be a TON of fun. :D

[Owlman166]

@JCordurpy

oooh, ooh, I got it...Use the Gauntlet with a bunch of Ragdoll's, with the ATA on them!
Muh hah hah...!

[NeoShazam]

If you're in Orlando you should check out Tyroclix's tournaments at the CoC FSM mail, he has a thread here (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=192465)

[MultipleManArmy]

Ok, folks. It's about time we start planning for the next episode, so we want to hear from you. what do you want to hear from the podcast? Got ideas for cheap theme teams, underused commons, misunderstood powers? You can PM them to me or JCorduroy, comment on this thread, or comment on our site here (http://pushtoregen.podbean.com).

We appreciate the input.

[Owlman166]

I sent you guys an email already, but I would love to hear your comments on Mind Control. I feel it's been neutered, and needs to lose the feedback damage, at least when targeting single targets. Some Misunderstood powers would be cool, too. (MC< ForceBlast, Incap, and Smoke Cloud, to name a few...)

[pupulesurfer]

I too sent an email with a bunch of $3 stuff you may (or may not i dunno) wanna look at.

Titled Pordcast! From a yahoo account

[Grievy]

Love the show gents. Great listen for a new player and inspired me to pick up Man-Wolf, my new favourite piece.

My work here is done! :D

[MultipleManArmy]

Owlman166 and pupulesurfer, we definitely got your messages and we'll be rolling them into our ideas for the show. We should be getting our ideas for episode 2 down in the next few days, recording this weekend and hopefully have a new post on Monday or Tuesday.

[Owlman166]

@MultipleMan

Sweet! Looking forward to it!

[TorturaMex]

YHEA! A new podcast! I like it! Keep them coming!

[Myxoclix]

Here are some topic ideas:

:a-sharpshooter:You should discuss special objects and (more) ATAs , since they are the only non-clix related stuff that you can bring into a modern age format tourneys.

:a-sharpshooter:Maybe a good recurring segment would be "combos" (i.e. special powers and how they can be combined with other powers and abilities).

:a-sharpshooter:Discuss the competitive (read: cheaty) builds people bring to tournaments and how to counteract them.

Hope these help! Moar podcast pleez!!

[spike1138]

Finally got to listen to the first episode and really liked what I heard. One suggestion would be to perhaps bump up the volume on your mics a tad but otherwise I'm interested in catching the next episode. Good stuff!

Levels will be adjusted! Thanks for listening! :)

[MultipleManArmy]

Just reminding everyone, we'll be recording the next episode tonight and hopefully have it posted by Sunday or Monday. A new thread will be opened in this category as soon as it is up. Make sure to follow us on Podbean (http://pushtoregen.podbean.com), or search for and subscribe to us on iTunes and Stitcher.

Thanks again for your support, folks.

[MultipleManArmy]

So..... due to family obligations and conflicting schedules, we just recorded the episode tonight. And as we're still new at this, it's still in dire need of some editing. We should have the episode up in a couple days. We promise to be a bit more punctual with future episodes.

Thanks for your patience.

[JCorduroy]

...what Rob means by Family Obligations is that it was my wife's birthday on Saturday, and mine on Sunday - 'Clix didn't quite rank. :) Blame me, it's totally my fault.

BUT - the episode is recorded, and I'll be editing tomorrow during lunch on the Macbook and at home after work. Hope to have it posted by Wednesday!

[Danzig01]

Hey, as far as I'm concerned, just keep doing what your doing and you can do it when ever you want. It's great stuff! Thank you and Happy Birthday(s):classic:.

[Owlman166]

Yahoo!!! Looking forward to the next episode!

[mikeholla]

I was just wondering when the new cast will be out, happy to hear its in the pipe. Thanks again gents!

[JCorduroy]

Just a quick update - if it COULD have gone wrong tonight editing, it DID go wrong tonight editing. It'll be done tomorrow, but as it stands, I've been fighting with my Macbook for the last 3 hours, and I'm exhausted. :)

[candeewolf]

Obviously you won't be able to put it in this episode, but I'm curious about both of your feelings come July 1st when Guardians of the Galaxy will be slashed hardcore with Hammer of Thor and Web of Spiderman going out of Modern Age...or perhaps this doesn't affect you at all due to mostly playing Golden Age.

I just really liked the bit in the first episode about the GotG team(s) and was excited to hear you talk in the future about them once the Galactic Guardians set came out.

I like this thought. Considering that this is a Strategy Podcast, however, I would encourage this:

What do you guys think this will do to the format? By cutting out WoS and prior, what can we expect to see dominate the Meta-Game? Obviously, Superman is going to be a powerhouse, and we will likely see the Gauntlet on just about every team. TK will become even more invaluable as a tool to get an alpha strike without Ben-crawler bringing then to the killbox. No SI Doctor Strange will contribute to quicker games. Taking out Gotham City Detectives, Lilahs, and Researchers might slow down Professor X if he doesn't get some other cheap damage boosters. Feel free to point out the repercussions of those kinds of things.

But surely, there might be some secret strategies that can come forth from the reirement. This may not be applicable until the whole Avengers set is reveal--we could very well be getting some Meta Figures in this set. But there have been characters in the new modern age that may have been overlooked that now have the chance to shine. Here are a few examples.

GSX Angel and GSX Leech--Without Lightspeed, could this be the combo to help shut down Superman's HSS? Tie up Superman, place Leech out of LOF to Superman, and take pot shots with PB ranged attackers.

CA SHIELD Specialist--With no Nurse or Atom to turn to for support, maybe these pieces will be more widely utilized. Other medics include GSX Elixir or DC75 Indigo-1

CA Darkstar--a great piece already, that upfront TK and free action smoke cloud might be able give board control. Losing Lyssa Drak, we need some more of this. Board control options like CA Invisible Woman, DC75 Isis

CA Maelstrom--A powerhouse piece, that changes to Power Cosmic might help him get set up faster. For other One Man Army possibilities, see DC75 WL Sinestro, CA Quasar, IH Cosmic Hulk

DC75 Ragdoll--I forsee tie-up pieces getting a new lease on life, and Ragdoll is the best. And now that Bullseye is gone, he might get an even greater edge at surviving. Also see IH Shadowland Daredevil and IH Man-Wolf, or CA Squirrel Girl for just tie-up

GG Adam Warlock--I was concerned before, but with the power to constantly change forms and upfront RS and PB, he could be great. That combo could be even better now. See GSX Skullbuster and GSX Emma Frost

IH Amadeus Cho--He's been seeing some play, but Up Front support powers like PC and Perplex don't have to worry as much about getting picked off without Nightcrawler around. Cho is cheap and efficient at what he does. Others include IH Bruce Bammer, SM Zibarro, SM Brainiac 5, DC75 Detective Chimp

Just some ideas, take them as you will!

[pupulesurfer]

CA SHIELD Specialist--With no Nurse or Atom to turn to for support, maybe these pieces will be more widely utilized. Other medics include GSX Elixir or DC75 Indigo-1

Just some ideas, take them as you will!

you are spot on everything! One man armies don't get much better than WL Sinestro. As per what you said above, Tarot is bar none the best. Support, good attack, and amazing powers overall, Especially having pc, perplex, etc.

[MultipleManArmy]

CA Darkstar--a great piece already, that upfront TK and free action smoke cloud might be able give board control. Losing Lyssa Drak, we need some more of this. Board control options like CA Invisible Woman, DC75 Isis

I actually give some love to Darkstar in the upcoming episode. I do like a lot of the ideas you mentioned. We will probably discuss the new modern age in the next episode and maybe tell some stories as a farewell to some beloved pieces that have gone into retirement.

And with all of the information coming out of the GAMA trade show, we're pretty excited to get some reactions recorded for you guys. The 3rd dose of Push to Regen maybe coming quicker than you think. Keep your ears peeled for an upcoming Push to Regen: Free Action!

[JCorduroy]

Episode 2 is live on iTunes, and can be found on our Podbean site - let us know what you think!

[Myxoclix]

Could anyone post a direct download link to the new episode, please?

Sure can! (http://www.podbean.com/podcast-download?b=452980&f=http://pushtoregen.podbean.com/mf/web/q273m9/PushToRegenEpisode2.mp3)

[Myxoclix]

Oopsie. The link only lets me download a html file.

[MultipleManArmy]

Got it.

The address for the podcast is http://pushtoregen.podbean.com

And I think this should be the direct download :http://pushtoregen.podbean.com/mf/web/q273m9/PushToRegenEpisode2.mp3

That should work. :)

[pupulesurfer]

I'd love to listen but my iPod keeps telling me that this episode can't be played on this iPod...it's a touch. Also, your page won't load in ie or firefox or safari...why does the world hate me? Any suggestions?

[JCorduroy]

Absolutely no idea why it won't play on your iPod.

As for the Safari and Firefox problem - I just checked both on my Mac (running OSX, Firefox 10.0.2/Safari 5.1.2) and I could load the page just fine.

I'll do some research on the iPod issue - I mixed with Audacity, but that shouldn't have caused a compatibility issue. Have you updated your Touch lately? It might be out of synch or something that way.

[pupulesurfer]

What's the bit rate? I've noticed if the bit rate is too high then I can't play it.

:cool:

[pupulesurfer]

Finally got it on my iPod and am listening to it now. Still can't get it working on my iPad though...getting the same message as I did with my iPod.

[candeewolf]

I loved the segment on DC75 Ice. She has the perfect complement of powers for a low point support piece that doesnt tk, outwit, perplex, or probability control. I love it. I'd rather have running shot to start too...but I'll take this any day.

[pupulesurfer]

Sounded great, liked everything you said! Love me some ice and darkstar too! One suggestion would be to mention specific things that people have emailed. I didn't clarify this in my email but I thought it would be nice for the $3 stuff I sent you to be mentioned for other players. You don't necessarily have to play those teams but having ideas out there will help players find good pieces or teams for cheap prices. Now if you don't agree with this idea, don't roll with it, it is just a minor suggestion. Let me know what you think of this.

...dammit, Rose!

[The Rose]

...dammit, Rose!

I thought you might enjoy that.

[MultipleManArmy]

You guys mind if I start a new thread for the second episode and we take the discussion there? I think it'll help get the word out about the show.

[DemonRS]

I enjoyed ep 2. Nice work guys!

Odd theme teams? How about a team full of the pieces that are considered the worst piece from each set? You'd lose hardcore.. But it'd at least give you reason to play those crappy pieces.. hah

Keep up the good work!

[MultipleManArmy]

Just realized that the 4 common pieces we've talked about equal 300 points on the dot. That's pretty a pretty awesome happy accident.

[MultipleManArmy]

Just to let everyone who is subscribed to this thread know, we have posted a new episode that is purely reaction to the new players guide (mainly just new ATAs) and the news out of the GAMA trade show. It can be found at our site, itunes and stitcher as usual.

[The Rose]

I can't wait to listen to it when I get home tonight!

[darkchild81]

Another great episode! You guys are really raising the bar for HC podcasts. :D

[The Rose]

Where's episode 4?
