Direct Predictions, Best GEN 1 Starter? New XBOX Strategy Suggestions - Tempcast #98

Slinger · 2026-09-08T21:29:01+0100

Another episode, wonderful! And thanks again, Chary, for all you've done!

But man, this sure was a slow week. Who else is looking forward to the summer?

I want to preface this episode with an apology for the poor sound quality.
The Tempcast team has always prided itself for its above average quality in terms of soundstaging and design. With every episode meticulously coordinated between hosts who have various equipment available ranging from 10$ headset mics to suspiciously sophisticated studio equipment worth thousands, as well as each episode being recorded sometimes in drastically different environments. Despite this, we try our best in post-production to offer our loyal fanbase a somewhat passable listenable experience.
However this week was a catastrophe. Before recording, I forgot to check my microphone levels, which led to my audio file being clipped 80% of the time (if you have any experience in audio engineering you can understand how irreversable this is), but with a combination of compressors and limiters I have tried my best to get the most out of the audio track. However, some artifacts are still present. With Ericzanders recording - he just couldnt keep a constant distance to his mic (he kept walking around the room showing his game collection iirc) which made leveling his recording a nightmare. Chary's recording was the only good one.
Thank you once again for listening to the Tempcast, we will do better next time!

Eevee is the best Gen 1 starter.

Ericzander · 2026-09-08T22:51:05+0100

There was so much gold in our discussion before we began recording that is just lost to time. We normally all just chat for a good hour or so before we ever hit record.

Should we just start recording from the second we get on? Would anybody be interested in hearing us just yap?

Pikachu and Squirtle best Gen 1 starters.

Why Ericzander's name in the video is slanted downwards? The graphic designer sucks.
Chary's sound is echoed... the sound engineer sucks.

AlanJohn complaining he had to buy the shield when you can get it for free at Dodongo's Cavern... AND get the Hylian Shield for free at Graveyard...
Everyone knows you can get the Deku Shield from Dodongo's Cavern BEFORE Deku Tree.
Chary knows Zelda II - The Adventure of Link and she likes it?

You should have ChatGPT as a special guest... let the bot be part of the episode's topics and opinions and call it CASTBOT.
"Castbot... what do you think?"
"Alan... for the tenth time, I'm not showing you my AI feet without socks on"
"But Castbot..."
"No. If you have other topics we can discuss I can totally do that"
"But the sponsors!

CASTBOOOOOOOT!"

Chary's dad played the Godfather two with a broken PS controller?... not following entirely...
Chary, don't beg Costello to rehire you. You know what to upload to the Internet to get $pon$or$

Throphies... Tropheets... $pon$or$... PS3... Chicken McNuggets!

It seems this podcast was recorded before Microsoft announced the "Pay for the amount of hours we will allow you to play"...
Like, jeezus... Sony getting rid of physical media, Microsoft charging for every hour of your time, and Nintendo selling physical carcass of digital games?
Like wtf?

It's Bulbasaur

He trashes Brock and Misty, and he digivolves the earliest into Venusaur simple as

Wasn't yellow/blue the only carts that Pikachu actually followed you around in?

Venusaur's design was so good they started out with Red and Green instead of Red and Blue.

I know this is meant as a joke, but I still want to say the audio didn't seem that bad to me. At most there were a couple of odd noises, but they weren't loud or anything to be annoying or distract from the talk.

Also +1 from me on a pre-show bootleg edition.

One easy edit trick for short noises that can't be removed, is to just overlay it with another sound... Mr Squirty... Sorry, I meant Dr. Squirty.

Agree, Pikachu and Squirtle best Gen 1 starters
