MOGs N3RDCast, 04 April 2006 – Rick Dakan, Creator Of City Of Heroes

I’m so embarrassed. For those of you not in the know, Rick Dakan is an amazingly talented author, as well as being creator of City of Heroes. He wrote the incredibly delicious Geek Mafia (which you can even check out for FREE!)
I met Rick at the NYC Comic Con, where he immediately struck me as an absolutely cool, down-to-earth guy that I enjoyed talking to greatly. He even agreed, right on the spot, to come on a N3RDCast and subject himself to my pathetic attempts at interviewing.
To demonstrate just how pathetic I am, I managed to completely crash my recording rig just before Rick called in for the interview. Since it had taken us a month to work out a time, I knew there was not going to be another window any time soon if I didn’t stick with this time. So I patched together some recording gear (and you’ll be able to tell the emphasis is on ‘patched’ when you listen to this disaster). I tried to edit the file as best I could, amping his voice and toning down my incessant braying, but it still came out horribly rough.
I’ve got someone that has suggested some audio software that could help clean up the file, but I already feel bad having delayed this long. So I’m going to put this monstrosity up for now and hope I can get it fixed within the next couple of days.
I’m so ashamed. I’m going to go beat myself with a microphone stand now. If you’re the patient type, you can attempt to bear through the recording as it is.
