BigRed0427 posted:Listening to the Pilot episode now. Seems cool so far. Does it have a overarching story or is it just weird happenings in a small desert town? Nothing too grandiose, but there's call-backs and small developments, so it's worth listening to the episodes in order.

Len posted:Have we heard how Cecils date with Carlos went? I hope it went well To be honest this is my biggest question, along with what the Sandstorm in Desert Bluffs was actually like considering that Kevin basically dismissed his violent encounter with Cecil as a 'hug'. I just want Cecil to be happy </3

This is really up my alley. I listened to the first three episodes; I'm going to download the rest. It's perfect for the early-morning bus rides to university. As a slight criticism, it might be worthwhile to leave a little more to the listener's imagination, at times. There are a few moments where I wish you'd segued into something else and instead you went on to describe the phenomenon or occurrence in more detail. Like I said, it's a tiny thing, and I really, really enjoy this show. Gau fucked around with this message at 09:47 on Apr 5, 2013 |

I must admit that the first few episodes i heard weren't really my thing, mostly due to the mix of comedy and horror, but i really liked the double part episode and will continue to listen. I don't know much about Desert Bluff, but it actually sounded like a much better place, sure the blood and guts are kinda disturbing, but most other things sounded nice and friendly as opposed to the general level of constant bad things happening in Night Vale

Yeah, I just caught up to those episodes. Does that mean that Desert Bluffs has a radio room that uses eldritch magic to function or something?

I'm going to give it a shot because the clip sounded promising, and because this will be the first time I can get into a podcast on the ground floor, rather than after it accumulates 300 backlogged episodes.

Brownview posted:I like to think that the folks in Desert Bluffs just have a super cheerful attitude about profound acts of violence. They come over and try to spread cheer and goodwill by murdering their doubles. "That nice fella in the sandstorm gave me a hug! That was sort of my take. Desert Bluffs is extremely cheerful (I originally thought that that was why they were...awful) about machines made of animal parts. So where Nightvale is creepy, dark, and sorta-cheerful-but-beware-dog park, sponsored by the government, Desert Bluffs is awfulness anesthetized by a veneer of extreme cheerfulness. I honestly thought Desert Bluffs was entirely normal until the first advertisement, and then Cecil's description of both the station and his double. Which also had me wondering if there's a Desert Bluffs that is completely normal, and Nightvale hates it for it, and past the portal Desert Bluffs is entirely horrible with Nightvale being normal. Oh, anyway, awesome job on the Podcast, one of three I check for updates on regularly.

My girlfriend's sister found this podcast a couple weeks ago and I just started listening to it today. It is brilliant. I'll probably end up chainsmoking the entirety of it this week on during my commutes. Cheers!

maxnmona posted:That was Jeffrey actually. We originally did it with Lou of Lou Reads The Internet, who has a great voice, but we decided that Carlos was such a major character we wanted to keep his voice with someone who could be called up to do it last second at any point. It was actually Cecil who recommended Jeffrey, and I agree with him. Jeffrey has this great "expert" voice that I think works perfectly. I also got my T-shirt the other day. It's nice, seems like good quality and all. Kind of big even when I got the smallest size though, but that's a minor complaint.

I first found this when the A.V. Club reviewed it a few weeks ago. I caught the Satellite High song and you mentioned a contribution from SA at some point but i didn't realize you posted. This is my new favorite podcast and i burned through all of the episodes in a week. Keep up the good work!

Which Disparition song is the main track played right after "Welcome, to Night Vale"? I picked up all the albums, and I'll listen through each of them because I like meandering electronic noise in my ear holes. Earwicker - You should really be licensing some of this music out to indie game folks, if they ever make a Limbo 2 get on that poo poo.

I am quitting my 9 to 5 corporate job in June and am going to concentrate on music and sound design full time for a while and indie games is definitely an area I want to get into.

by the way for anyone who likes that track, Fiedler and Mundt are characters from The Spy Who Came In From the Cold by John LeCarré which is an incredible book and you should read it.

I just made it to A Story About You on my lunch break at work. That was amazing. Part of me wants to marathon the rest of these as I drift off to sleep, and part of me wants to pace myself so I don't run out of late night shift listening quite as soon.

I am in the same dilemma, listened to the first one and threw the rest on my mp3 player, my morning commute is just long enough to fit two in on the way to work and same on the way back. Do I make myself only listen to one a day or do I blow through the rest in a week  I admit it didn't grab me immediately, but by the end of the third episode I was hooked.

The AV Club led me to Night Vale, which led me to this thread. I've caught up now, so the long wait begins. Maybe the purchase of a fine t-shirt will while away the days. I'm delighted and frightened; my girlfriend is merely delighted. She doesn't fall asleep to the broadcasts. Thanks!

I just found out about this a week ago, and devoured every episode. I just wanted to echo the love for "A Story About You" and "Sandstorm". I can't wait for more stuff about Desert Bluff (even though they suck)and their whole stretched-too-wide-smile feel. I also love how John Peters (you know, the farmer?) is always referred to as "John Peters (you know, the farmer?)".

I've been going back and listening to old episodes and it's pretty fun to see how Cecil has evolved the character, he starts out so monotone, like nothing could shock him anymore, you can hardly tell it's the same person.

I read this thread ages ago and meant to look it up, never got around to it until last night. I was kind of baked and wanted something cool to listen to, and god drat did you guys ever deliver. I have all the episodes available now loaded up, I've listened to two and a half episodes so far. I love the weather, its one of my favorite parts. Waiting For The Bus in the Rain is just a wicked song.

I was lying on the grass in my garden, staring at the stars and moon, listening to the most recent episode of Welcome to Night Vale, when I saw the lowest flying, largest meteor of my life. It was immense and fiery, and had a long tail. Listening to Cecil as it streaked through the sky was amazing, and made me feel like I, too, was in Night Vale.

Yeah, Cecil has really developed the character. You have to remember that, especially for the first episode, he didn't really know where we were going with the show. His performance has built well on what we've written for his character. Also, can't get specific yet, but there are some exciting collaborations with people you may have heard of coming up in the second half of 2013.
