The Verge Update: Cancelled Due To ADSL Issues

Update: I just got a call from the production company to apologise to us. They managed to get the ADSL back up a few minutes before the show, but had already officially cancelled with us so they used the first other person they could find to get on the show as a back-up.

As most of you know, I was supposed to be interviewed via a Skype video call tonight on the Channel GO gaming show called The Verge to discuss the thing that we all love, video games.

Unfortunately, due to technical issues with the ADSL on their side, the interview has to be rescheduled for what looks to be two weeks from now. It just goes to show that even large TV companies go through silly little problems like this.

We will repost the time for the new interview, when it is set in stone and hopefully we won’t have any issues next time around.

    Dietmar is the guy who runs Organized Chaos – the biggest LAN here in Cape Town. I know him personally, and he came across just tosser-ish in the interview as he is in real life.

    yeah the Gears rap was silly.

    Bad Pippa, no biscuit!

    They really need to figure out what’s up with those trailers too, the quality of those vids look crap (I’m sure those are high quality trailers, but something about the way it’s transmitted is not so lekker) It’s really apparent when the ad break cuts in with a Megarom ad and you see how the trailer is meant to look.

    Yeah the whole Verge thing is a bit bleh, even when you watch Playr which is also done by Pippa the trailers look strange. Also I don’t really find Pippa that attractive not sure why? I don’t think she is a real gamer 😀

    yeah that gears thing was pathetic its a good thing you missed the first one a week or so ago. I mean what If someone never played the game before you giving the whole game away. I mean that last part (don’t wanna say it just for incase someone haven’t finished the game yet)

    But that last part was the biggest surprise in the whole game, no need to play the game if they just gonna show you the whole game with all its surprises

    You obviously haven’t checked out the thread on the xbox-360 forums, where her gaming credentials were firmly established.
