That comparison is totally unfair. Whatever sound chip the iPhone has, it clearly can't compare against the MOS 6581 SID. :) Have to agree with you, Andrew. That comparison is totally unfair.

And thanks for the report on the SID player - sounds like a must-have if I ever get hold of an iPhone. :) @Andrew: The timing of my Xbox purchase turned out to be impeccable, as the Live Arcade version of Portal was released a couple of days after I got the console (I never really cared for HL2/TF2 so I couldn't be bothered to purchase The Orange Box just for Portal). As for a Max Headroom special, it would be a short show: there's only 6 remixes of it according to http://remix.kwed.org/?search=max+headroom. Plus the one by Marcel Donné that I played on episode 022, of course. @Kaj: Good to hear that you liked the show.

Now i got the iPhone, so now I had the chance to catch up with all the episodes! :D Great show, I must say! I like the mix of remixes, news, discussions and SIDs a lot and it's always nice to hear new songs that I haven't found yet! ;) You mentioned that SIDplayer was released to iPhone/iPod Touch - why I of course had to search for it! SIDplayer comes both in a "lite" version and a regular version, where the "lite" version only enables a few selected SIDs. The regular costs 22SEK, which feels like an affordable price - then you can download the entire HVSC and update it when new stuff comes up. It works nicely so I really recommend it. It's easy to search but it lacks a "playlist" function, but I guess a later release will remedy that! :) Keep up the good work! I hope to hear a new show before christmas! :P Hi, started listening to the C64 take-away way back but had a break when I didn’t have any mobile music device.

I've always felt that the C64 Take-away should be about more than 'just' the music. Especially seing as I (like a lot of other people) will listen to every remix out there at least once anyway. :) Also glad that you dig the spoken part, whether I’ve discussing stuff with Makke, or talking directly to the listeners on my own.

So much so that I haven't been bothered to even look at RPGs that weren't set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland since it came out. After Wasteland it's been Fallout all the way. And to this day I still get goosebumps every time Ron Perlman says "War... War never changes!". Also, fantasy RPGs just don't have the same appeal as something that will let you empty a full clip on three approaching pistoleros, reducing them into a thin red paste. :) Robinson, I’m a *huge* Wasteland fan.

I disagree with Kasper, I love listening to the discussion bits and wouldn't mind MORE of that. Good to have Makke on there, too, and with a co-host, what's the point if you guys don't talk? After all, if all I want is the tunes I can just download and play stuff from Remix.Kwed.Org, etc. So you were a Wasteland fan? Amazing I have yet to try/review that game. I need to put it on my short list. Mass Effect ate up a lot of personal time, so I'm sure Fallout 3 would do the same to me, but I'm a PC gamer, not a console gamer (I still consider the C64 a type of PC, never did like the Nintendo type stuff). Just something about using a keyboard that appeals to me. :) Hope the next episode doesn't take too long to come out! _RM Great podcast Jan.

I had been thinking about getting one ever since I first played Portal on a mates Xbox 360. But the idea got shelved until I heard that Fallout 3 was coming out for it. From then on I just knew that I had to have one by October 30th. :) It wasn’t a gift, no. I had been thinking about getting one ever since I first played Portal on a mates Xbox 360.
