Thank you all that have voted today, and seen our new video and produced minecraft content that we get to enjoy as well, and of course the whole Mojang Team who has created this game that was so incredible it sparked a microcosm that is now a megacosm and put us all together in the same room.  Well as close as you can get separated by the array of tubez in the way.

Speaking of minecraft and being together… This weekend, on The Shaft, we’ll be talking with Paul Soares Jr again and see what  he’s been up to since we last spoke with him and what he has planned for the future.  Pretty sure we’ll slip in some minecon talk as well.

Join  us at 3pm central on Sunday (Or earlier) for The Shaft, and be sure to vote for us daily for the podcast awards!

We’re trying to figure out a way to do this without it becoming some sort of spam fest.  The Voting for the podcast awards has opened, and it’s going for 12 days, and you can vote once a day!  So, PLEASE, vote, Once a day!

I don’t think there’s anything we get except for a little extra press, which always helps.  

Anyways, head on over to the podcast awards, and vote for The Shaft, under the Gaming section!

Thanks!

We released the new Minecraft music video.   Haven’t heard if notch likes it yet, but seems that a fair amount of folks are enjoying it!  Let us know how you feel with a comment at the bottom of the video. [Video: We Built This Town]

We have also been nominated for the Podcast Awards, in the category of gaming!  Voting starts tomorrow, and you can vote once a day - EVERYDAY for 2 week.  We will try to keep the twitter spam to a low rumble, but we are very excited.

Good times were had this weekend with Mhykol on the shaft, so if you haven’t listened to the episode yet, go listen!  http://www.theshaftpodcast.com/

It was a LONG day at the studio yesterday.  We began around 11:00 getting there and getting all the machines rolling, then at 11:30 we had a meeting with an up and coming Startcraft II commentator.   We’re not sure how much of a desire there is for that sort of thing, but he’s a good guy, and good at what he does, so we’d love to give him a chance to build a bigger audience.   It will also help diversify our show portfolio a bit.

Then at noon, Collin, the voice of dwp, came by and laid down some voiceovers for bumpers and segments for the new show.

Then it was time to get the show rolling.   It really was a crazy seen while Eric was getting used to his new digs with the new studio arrangement, and the enderman, Boxxie moving around cameras and set dressing.  There was a lot going on.

2 shows and 5 hours later, we were done.  But there was still quite a bit of work to be done.

We want to streamline the process a bit, and be done with editing on Sunday, for all of our shows.  So we bent to the task of doing this.  Unfortunately we didn’t have all the files we needed, and ended up having to edit it at home anyways, but it was a start to see what we need.

Next we had some heavy lifting as we figured out a better place for the air conditioner to go to make it easier to drain, and hopefully circulate in the room better.

lastly, it was time to record some line for all Max for a secret project he was working.

So as you can see… it was a BUSY day at the Black Box.   We manged to have quite a bit of fun in the process, and I look forward to doing most of it all over again next Sunday!   Sure hope you plan on joining us at 3PM central (GMT -6).  It will be the awesome Awards show!   Which reminds me… GO VOTE!

Looks like it’s going to be a fun weekend!   We’ve got a great guest, Mhykol from Mhykol Mines this sunday, at 3pm central.  Live!  (http://www.deadworkers.com/live).   We’re working on a few projects as well that should surface VERY soon.   Not to mention, another attempt at a let’s play.

We’ve been booking all the guests for Fall, and the calendar has been filled up nicely (check the bottom of the website). 

We are also taking votes for THE SHAFT awards, so be sure to vote as soon as possible!

Another great feature of the website, is that you can now send us your submissions in a neat little form that  keeps things organized for us!  So try it out! (The Shaft Submission Form)

Lastly, we are starting to get everything set up for the DWPP, and should have the hotel information by the end of the weekend so people can start making reservations!  Be sure to register (it’s free!) so we know how many people are coming and need rooms!  We really need this count so we can get you a discount.

Lastly for real, we have an offer from one of our affiliates that we wanted to make you aware of.   You can preorder Call of Duty: MW3 and get $20 off xbox live 12m card, $10 bounceback coupon & Free Shipping

Have a great Friday!  And hope to see you in the live show on Sunday!
