This is The Tits!!! I love it when a plan comes together. Dead Reckoning wanted to do something to commemorate the big 100th episode, and I stupidly told him of my ability to use Audacity to make clips of files. So we banded together, listened to a bunch of episodes, and DR and myself clipped all the sound bites that we got ourselves, and those that Bad News Boo-shay and Ms Deathlock were kind enough to send us as well.
Then DR took the unenviable task of taking what were probably hundreds of clips, and putting them all together, not to mention recording intros to each section. I can’t imagine how much time he spent on this, but it came out perfect.
We weren’t able to get something from every episode, but I think it’s a great sample of what the show has to offer.
It was a great excuse to listen to old OSWP episodes!!!
Buy the box sets!!!
It was a joy and a privelige to do this with Milldog, Bad News and Deathlock. It was so much fun to pit the clips together, the hard part was what to leave out, especially knowing how much time and effort everyone put in. It was a case of listening to each one, picking the best bits, noting the tim3 and length and sending them to Mildog for clipping. Thats a surprisingly long process.
Truth is that we used clips from only about 35 epsodes (only!) But that was plenty.it was already 27 minutes long.
I hope everyone enjoys it. We may do another for number 150 .
