Aqua Road Radio

Delays for the Holidays,

So heres our lastest long and rambly discourse with features old and new. Very new and interesting to many of you. We have as a guest one Chii, an entertaining young lady, so you’ll enjoy this. We get pretty loopy later on, so prepare yourselves to mock us. xD Stayed tuned for a special announcement after the playback finishes.

Like I said there are some quirks in this edit (a diff. one may upload at some point). Highlights of these quirks for you fans of minutae: From Minute 104 to 108 the show starts over in the background and it gets quite weird for 4 minutes! At Minute 140 Chii answers my question before I ask it. Shes a clever time traveller! During the vmail playback you can hear Shim and me laughing. I want to state clearly that this is at things we are typing to each other and not at the vmails. We’ve already listened to the vmails a dozen times by then and are thinking ahead to the next segment. I think this is obvious, but wanted to state it anyway.

So here it is warts and all….enjoy. And we hope your Holidays are going great and wish you a grand new year.

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 19

~Warez & Shim

Happy Halloween.  We were in the twilight Zone for this episode. You can tell because we’re kind of spacey and rambly in the beginning, but we get more coherent as it goes on.  Spazzcakes did really well at the transition editing, but struggled with volume equalization.  (Many people have told me that they notice the volume issues, but that it is acceptable as is. Therefore we will concentrate efforts on the upcoming episode, instead of trying to improve this one!)

This is another long episode. After I said we’d try to make them shorter. -_-  We cover Singapore, then there is a lot of listener contributed features.  Two Newbie Tips, a HotSpot, a Quest Corner, a Party Center, Bag3l’s newest Jukebox (ty Bag3l), another HotSpot, another Quest Corner and finally a ton of vmails and emails.

We need to make these things shorter….no really. xD

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 18

~ Warez & Shim

Hello Listeners! I finally struggled all the way up the editing learning curve and got episode 17 online. We record over 3 hours of audio which i edited down to 2 hour and 50-something minutes. my work isn’t as good as Shravan’s was, but it is listenable.

This is a double upped episode. We start out covering the new Masteria expansion (yes its been that long.) Then we have DOUBLE HotSpots, a Party Centers, AND Quest Corners in one episode! Bag3l is back with another ARR Jukebox. So enjoy~!!

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 17

Hey guys! ^_^ We’ve finally got episode 16 up and running. We say it’s short, but really it’s like 2.5 hours long. >_> I think we’re becoming numb to the length of these things.

Anyhooses, we’ve got quite an episode for you about all sorts of various things. There’s even a bit in there about private servers for those of you who are interested. We also have a Newbie Tip, a HotSpot, a Party Center, AND a Quest Corner all wrapped up in this episode. Bag3l came through as well and provided us with a 2nd installment of the ARR Jukebox, which, from what I’ve heard so far, you guys have enjoyed. There’s also a great explanation of the backstory of Masteria.

All right then. Enjoy this episode guys. ^_^

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 16

Hey guys! ^_^

First of all, let me apologize for all the delays incurred. We wanted to record on the 21st, but we had that whole Tespia thing we wanted to try out. In the end, it worked, so I guess it was a good thing, but due to scheduling conflicts, Warez and I weren’t able to record until this last Wednesday. I would have had this up by Saturday night, but Audacity decided to somehow change the name of the file and all the paths and not find the file when I only had another 1/2 hour left to edit.

So I gave up on Audacity and got/tried an new program called Amadeus Pro (yes, Amadeus is Mozart’s middle name) and it works BEAUTIFULLY. So I’ll definitely be dishing out some cash to get this (it’s not free, but it’s not like $599 like all those super professional applications).

Anyway, enough with my excuses.

This episode features…..surprise! Newbie Tips. Actually, that’s what it was supposed to feature, but the News took up like over half the time and by the time we got the the Newbie Tips we were pretty much like the living dead. We made a couple of predictions on Patch 0.57 (we recorded the night they were patching) and some of them came true. ^_^

Also, I ask you all to pay attention to the ending (somewhere around when I declare it’s time for the closing notes). We have a question for you guys that needs answering ASAP. =P

I hope you guys enjoy listening to it. ^_^

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 15

Hi everybody! ^_^

I really wanted to get this out by this morning, but the FTP software I use was acting up, so I actually had to upload it through a website, which took FOREVER. Also, the episode ended up being just over 2 hours and 24 minutes long. It took a total of 12 hours and 15 minutes to edit (5 PM to 10:15 PM one night and 10 PM to 5:30 AM last night >_>). I guess we were rusty or something. T_T

Anyway, we cover like 7 patches and Warez ended up writing like a 8 page Party Center segment, so we’ve got quite the episode for you. We also talked a bit about marketing in MapleStory and how to go about making and saving some money. This week’s Newbie Tip is about security: what you can do to prevent hackers from getting to your account.

So hope you guys enjoy our first episode back and we hope to hear from a lot of you. ^_^

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 14

Hey guys! ^_^

It’s been like forever, so I figured I’d say “yo”. I’m not actually “officially” back yet; my last final is next Friday, so I’ll be back into MS next weekend.

Anyway, I do talk about a super short single news segment and I owe you guys a scan of an article, which I’ll get up as soon as I can.

So basically, this is a short teaser to let you guys know that we’re not dead! T_T Actually….I gotta find Warez. ^_^ I haven’t had a change to chat with him yet so I hope he doesn’t take it too hard that I put this up……

Also, I need info on the latest happenings in MapleStory and so I’d greatly appreciate any and all information I can get my hands on, so if you guys could, send me an e-mail (you know what it is: [email protected] ^_^) about the things going on these days. =P

See you in-game next week. ^_^

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 13

In Episode 12, we discuss patches of the past. Basically, we talk about pretty much everything that happened during the Christmas season. The News mainly centered around this and we had a few other discussions about things such as 4th Job!. ^_^ So I know all you guys are waiting around for this patch to finish up so that you can go play some MS. Good luck to you guys in 4th job and we hope you enjoy this episode.

I’d also like to announce that I (Shravan) am quitting MapleStory for a while, and therefore, quitting ARR. I’ve begun that there are other things I’d like to do with my time (eg: take guitar lessons), and the spring semester is just about to start so I figured it was a good time to call it quits. But MapleStory’s like super-addictive, so I doubt that I’ll be gone for good. I’m hoping to come back sometime around June (when Summer break starts again). Until then, take care guys. ^_^

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 12

So after a foreverly-long delay, we’re back with Episode 11. ^_^

In this episode, you guys are treated to a rant by Warez (which we didn’t edit at all), a gazillion (10, actually) voicemails (which we didn’t edit at all), and a few e-mails from you guys (which we didn’t edit at all)…. >_> So you might be wondering what exactly I edited….

Well….we introduced a new section in this episode, which, of course, we hope you enjoy. ^_^ The news was all stuff that you guys prolly already know about cause it’s been like forever since the last time we recorded. >_>

But anyhooses….we hope you guys enjoy this episode even though Warez and I were like dead tired through like the whole thing. =P

Aqua Road Radio: Episode 11

EDIT:The party’s location has been moved, due to the demand of like everyone. ^_^ Because it’s hard for newly created characters to get to Ludi, the party has been moved to Maya’s house in Henesys. The time has not changed.

Hey guys! ^_^

Episode 10! We’re in double digits! =P

Anyway…this episode doesn’t contain much News cause the last two patches sucked majorly and were more or less useless. But, we do talk about Pirates! Check out the Pirate’s Skill List.

Also, the Maple iTCG is out. >_> Warez and I both agree that it’s meh-worthy, but check it out for yourself. ^_^

Other than that, we’ve got the Slime Tree for this week’s HotSpot and Bob’s quest for our Quest Corner.

Hope you guys enjoy the episode. ^_^

DOUBLE DIGITS!!! Whoooooo!
