Hahaha, thank you for the kind words. It’s funny really, I talk to you here, and I have been playing your game Dark Carnival.
I’m reviewing it on episode 8. I keep forgetting that your MTW. By the way did your Mother program Miser? I ask cause that
was a really good game and I see that you and her have the same last name.
Hey, thanks for reviewing it! I will take it like a man, so be honest. 
And no relation to the other Winter. 
Believe me, I know so far all the games that I have reviewed received great reviews.
I’m planning on doing an episode dedicated to the worst of the worst in IF games.
Haha, I see. I was wondering cause that was one of the very first text games I played
on the C64. Hey I was wondering if you wanted to be on the show some time? You know
since you are an author and player of sorts?
Sure, I’d love to. (I have plenty of free time, so scheduling me shouldn’t be a problem, lol)
How about this upcoming weekend? Like Saturday afternoon if you are free than. Cause next week’s
episode is going to have a few reviews, the week after the will be the worst of the worst. So if you
are free next Saturday I would be honored if you would like to be on the show and we can discuss some
of the worst games that we have played? Plus I bet you have a ton of wicked stories on what inspires
you and what not. 
That sounds fine. PM me. :mrgreen:
Hello Everyone, I am going to be doing an episode on the worst IF games ever to be crafted by the hands of man. Also I would like to say that episode 8 will up and ready for you’re listening pleasure tomorrow.
Episode 8 is now ready and has ready for you’re listening pleasure.
I have purchased a new mic and am trying to be professional and make
this the best podcast for the IF community. I hope you all like it.
Greeting’s everyone, I would to inform all you fine folks that Episode 9 of Awesome Text Adventure Gaming,
is up on iTunes for you’re listening pleasure. Today’s episode I talk about a few of the horror films that I like
to watch this time of year, as it is Halloween and all. Also I interview one of the finest IF author’s I have
ever met, Marshal Tenner Winter, the author of Dark Carnival. I hope you all enjoy it.
Daveman,
I listened to the latest two podcasts (7 and 8?) and I think they are much better than the earlier ones. It definitely helps to have a bit more structure and a high quality microphone. Now all you need is a theme song for the opening and close! I thought these worked much better. They were less rambling, appeared to have more research. In some ways they were also more personal and more of your own humor and style came through. Also, don’t worry about only reviewing good games that merit positive reviews. Personally, I think it is too easy to trash mediocre games and sometimes the IF community can be pretty harsh on people.
I’m looking forward to the interview with MWT and hopefully others beyond that. If you don’t read Jimmy Maher’s Digital Antiquarian blog filfre.net/ you should. He sets the gold standard in terms of thorough historical IF research. Heck, he might be a good guy to interview also.

Right ahead of you on the intro music. From now on I will be adding intro music at the beginning of each episode. Also thank you for the kind words. I’ll have to email him and see if he’s interested in being interviewed.
Howdy everyone, just wanted to let all of you fine folks know that Episode Ten will be
up on iTunes sometime today, if you haven’t subscribed or just don’t use iTunes, then
here is a link for you to listen to it on Buzzsprout. I hope you all enjoy it.
Very good. I had MECC games when I was a kid, and I absolutely loved all of them, even while owning the more action-packed NES and Genesis at the time. Number Munchers was actually my first PC game. I wanted it because my friend already had it on his Apple II and I was incredibly jealous.
My five year old self felt kind of let down when my parents bought a Tandy instead of an Apple, but I embraced it in time.
Also, a little warning, you’ve been linking to what I’m guessing is the administrative area of your website in your last few posts in this thread.
HAHAHAHA, my goodness, I do apologize for that. I don’t know what I was thinking. But here is the
actual link for the podcast page. Also I was always jealous of those that had Number Munchers. That
game was one of the best Edutainment games ever dealing with Math.
I’m a bit behind due to travel, but I thought episode 9 (interview with Marshall Ten or Winter) was indeed AWESOME. The intro theme music, the microphone, the structure also makes it sound more professional. Now you should add some outro music also.
Update: Ok, I have noted that you added an outro in episode 10. Well done!

Well everybody I have uploaded another fine episode for all you’re listening pleasure.
Today’s episode deals with a game that I have always truly loved and with that said
I hope you enjoy it .
Except that you posted the admin link again
Hahahaha darn it, here’s the link buzzsprout.com/admin/episode … umpus-hunt
That’s also a wrong link. (Note the “/admin/” part of it. Those links may work for you, but they are not accessible to the general public.) The link you are looking for is awesometextadventuregaming.buzzs … umpus-hunt
Thank you, its been a hectic day and thank you so much for posting the correct link.
