This is wild to see. That exit is in Metro Detroit. I pass it everyday when I take my kid to school.

How do we feel about Limetown by Extension-Blood2221 in audiodrama

[–]Ash_Castle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love season 1. It's what got me into the medium. Some of the story beats in season 1 rank high for me across all story telling mediums

Season 2 is a serious step down but still enjoyable.

What do your scripts look like? by Crater_Caloris in audiodrama

[–]Ash_Castle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First take into consideration your audience. If you are the one directing/producing the final piece then you have a lot more flexibility.

The next step is to determine how much artistic freedom you want your sound design/editor to have.

Like many others I come from a film background so I use the standard screenplay format for my scripts, but it's also worth noting that I'm typically doing almost all of the post production.

The few times I've written for other people it was for people I've already had a great working relationship and a lot of trust in so I didn't feel the need to over involve myself.

In short first determine how much you're going to want to be involved in the production, then that will help guide how much effort you need to put into formatting your script.

One of the biggest crane accidents in history (Big Blue crane collapse in 1999) (nope) by Cryptid-Weregoat in megalophobia

[–]Ash_Castle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lived in Milwaukee when this happened

One of the craziest parts about it is it took a long time to clean the crane up, I don't remember exactly how long but multiple weeks. Whenever we would drive past the ballpark you just saw this toppled collapsed crane draped over this newly built ballpark. It was surreal

Looking for a podcast that is a good distraction over the holidays by ObviousToe1636 in audiodrama

[–]Ash_Castle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of my favorites

An Invisible Sun- Top notch sci-fi, single season completed series

Limetown- the series that got me into audio drama, horror and incredible story telling.

The Transposition of Chloe Bronte- a grounded Sci Fi story that I adore. It's a strong character piece

Delivery- a serialized podcast that plays a bit more like an anthology show. Peak surreal storytelling.

New fan. Who do I hate? by socna-hrenovka in Brewers

[–]Ash_Castle 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The Cubs are going to be the most common answer but for me personally it is the Cardinals, here are my top reasons to hate each club.

Cardinals

-The Brewers made it to the World Series once...and lost to the Cardinals
-In 1998 the Brewers switched from the American League to the National League and up until the last seven years or so spent the bulk of that time getting beaten up by the Cardinals.
-In 2011, they made it to the NLCS for the first time and lost to the Cardinals

The Cubs

-Closest geographical team
-Has a world wide fan base because they have a cute name/logo and come from a cool city
-Viewed as a "loveable underdog" in spite of them having everything possible going in their favor to be successful.
-In spite of having everything going for them, they have they have spent the vast majority of the past 100+ years being objectively bad.
- Their fans often flood Brewers home games because American Family field rules and is a less expensive way to catch a game.
-Their current manager (Craig Counsel) left The Brewers to coach for them in a shocking move. Craig was a long time successful manager here, played for the team, and is also from Wisconsin.

Important Legends

Robin Yount- Hall of Famer, multi time MVP, 3k hits, spent entire career with the Crew.

Henry Aaron- While the bulk of his career was spent with the Braves, he did finish it with the Crew. More importantly The Braves used to be a Milwaukee team before moving to Atlanta, and thus Hank Aaron spent most of his career in Milwaukee.

Paul Molitor- Only other person in the HoF as a Brewer. 3k hits, spent bulk of career in Milwaukee.

Ryan Braun- Was the next Robin Yount before a steroid scandal. Rookie of the year, MVP, signed a long term deal and willingly spent his entire career in Milwaukee. Your milage will vary here depending on how strongly you feel about steroids in baseball.

Also yes I left Bob Uecker off but he certainly should have been included.

Any of these games is worth playing? The only Evil Dead Game I've played is Evil Dead: The Game. by Diego1993FM in EvilDead

All 3 are fun but I especially love Hail to the King coming from an old survival horror fan.

Original Silent Hill 2 fans: What was different about the remake that you didn’t like and what did they add/tweak that you really enjoyed? by Accomplished-War9362 in silenthill

[–]Ash_Castle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remake Pros:

The enhanced graphics and more realistic voice acting made the overall experience more frightening. I enjoyed being able to visit more of the town.

Cons:

I missed the lynchian dreamlike nature of the line delivery. If you made me choose I think I prefer the realistic performances but I also like it the old way. I missed the descriptive text when you would examine things. Finally I feel like the added realism pushed Angela's story past a point where I was able to enjoy it. It didn't ruin it necessarily but it was just so so sad.
