blogged!

An important milestone was reached today for NooBTooB. We actually got blogged by someone who doesn't know us. And the review was glowing! So hey, thanks Grim Gamer. Noobtoob started out with mostly our friends subbing and commenting, but I think we're finally getting some word of mouth among a few gamers anyway.

I'm really glad that everyone who actually listens to our podcasts seems to really enjoy them, it's been frustrating trying to get the word out around the forums and social news sites. Any mention of any project you're working on gets immediately pegged as spamming and people get furious. This wasn't always the way the web was, I think now that some people are making money with their blogs, and viewers equate to cash in some circles, the whole sharing ethos of the net has gotten kind of jealous and angry.

It's especially strange to me because if you go check out NooBTooB, we don't have a single ad. I don't have any interest in nickle and diming people with google ads, I want to make a funny and interesting gaming podcast and have people actually listen to it.

So yeah. All I'm saying is that I was really excited today to get some positive feedback from someone who wasn't some snarky shithead from a social news site, slamming something without even checking it out first. Our attention spans don't have to be so short and our anonymous online nature doesn't have to turn us into assholes. I'm gonna keep spreading the word about NooBTooB anywhere I feel like it, because it's a great podcast, and once people actually listen to it, they really enjoy it.
