OB Podcast Episode 21: A New World... Relatively Speaking

Oh my it's been a long time, but we're back, and poodling about Games-Space in our brand new shonky spaceship, the HMS Orbital Bombardment Ship Goodship!

Alex, Dan, Ed and Mike take to the microphones to deliver some news in an 'alternative' fashion, and to discuss some icy dealings in Frostgrave and some chickpea related dealings in Infinity; that's right, we're no longer bound to only Dropzone Commander! How exciting.

OB Podcast Episode 20: Bigger Isn't Always Better

You look like you need to hit the gym! And by gym, I of course I mean our gym, Orbital Gymbardment. And when visiting the Orbital Gymbardment I will refer you to our two main (and only) areas, the massage parlour and the sauna, in the later of which you can join us for our latest podcast episode!

These intros are becoming increasingly tenuous, right? Maybe its the heat in the UK melting my brain, which is currently dripping from my tear ducts onto my keyboard. How do you get brain juice out of a keyboard?

Come and relax in the hot box with us whilst we have a chatet about upcoming events (including Critical Engagement), our time at the UK Games Expo and why we are running a 1000 point tournament, and more importantly why you should try the smaller points size out!

OB Podcast Episode 19: Cone Of Shame

If I said to you that we don't talk between podcasts, would you believe me? That in the weeks, or sometimes months that we don't record we keep our maws firmly clamped and become mute? It would of course be a lie, but for the amount we do talk on microphone you'd be forgiven for believing me!

OB Podcast Episode 18: Emotional Gunship

Boy oh boy, have we been flooding out the digital content lately. It's seeping out of all our orifices, forming a visual and sonic soup that's just delicious to lap up, if not just a tad salty. Yumyumyum.

All the lads (including Squeekmaster Joe this time) gather in OB Towers to ruin Dan's intro, make the most of what little news we have to share (as of 2 weeks ago) and discuss what changes we would consider making were a DzC 2.0 to drop!

OB Podcast Episode 17: Out Of Hibernation parts 1 & 2

The titans have slept for what seems like a thousand years, but an unknown voice causes them to awaken, and as they stand the rust caking their joints cracks and shatters, causing orange rain to fall down onto those below. It's lucky OB Towers came with umbrellas (branded brollys of course), so us boys don't get covered in that rusty, rusty rain and ruin our lovely grey t-shirts.

Look, I'm not doing a very good job of it, I'm just trying to say that we're back. Good, right, that's done, grand.

Our latest instalment features exciting topics such as sweating in a bag, Invasion, a Wild West Mike, R:P2 mission and unit opinions, and an unusually chatty Joe.

OB Podcast Episode 16: Getting Real Close to You

Much like busses our podcasts are large, sweaty and un-apologetically uncomfortable. That, and they also come in two's. Yesyesyes, it is time to revel in the audio musings of the OB gang once more, and this time round we will be answering some of the questions you have asked in our brand new segment; Permission To Speak Freely!

Ed and Joe also chinwag about their recent(ish) visit to Firestorm Games in Cardiff, where they took part in a tourney, but more importantly engaged the Hawk Wargames team in what is now on writing of this intro known as the Super Wales Challenge Cup 2000!

We would like PTSF to become a bi-regular segment, so if you have any questions at all, from how to make custard to tips in stopping Hazard Suits doing their thang, either comment, email (obteamdzc@gmail.com) or tweet (@OBDZC) us!

OB Podcast Episode 15: Hilton Hobby Holidays

Oooooooh it's only that time again! It's that time of the year when you need to change your socks, because they're dirty and they hum. literally, they are actually humming. Is humming the opposite of whistling?

Well all of that yes, but more importantly it's time again for a new pod! We all met up last week to regale you of tales from the UK Games Expo and Summer Invasion, as well as run through all the new news. That's like regular news, but newer.

So sit back, get your paints out (or whatever gives you your jollys to the pod) and let our grating voices flow over you like a cheesegrater! Oh, and if you're our Top Hat listener on Soundcloud prepare for a shock.

OB Podcast Episode 14: The Arms Race

Continuing on course with our happy outlook on Dropzone's meta, I present to you the latest installment of our podcast series! I may be taking a few liberties with the word 'happy' though. Dour, disappointed and frustrated are probably more appropriate words to describe our feelings on the current 'Arms Race' being competed over within DzC at the moment.

So strap in for one of our Discussionzone episodes, where we run through our thoughts and opinions on the alarming curve of energy within the system, and the affect it is having on the game.

It's not all sour, I promise. I even sing a little for you, and that's sure to brighten anyone's day!

OB Podcast Episode 13: Escalating Matters

Those of you who frequent the site, or are simply observant, will have noticed that it has been a little quiet on the OB front lately. Why? Well, put simply we are lacking muse to write with at the moment, partly due to a lack of movement from the company which produces the splendid war game that we hold so dear to our hearts. (This may read slightly passive aggressively; it was meant too. We just want something to get excited about!)

Never fear though, stopping our mouths from chatting off is like trying to stop a conservative from selling a public asset; it can't be done! Join us for the worst news section ever recorded by a human, for an update on our general hobby, and to hear more about the much whispered about escalation campaign!

Episode 12.5: Postvasion - The Vasion

So, to ask you the same question I ask Mike each pod, how did you all enjoy the news? I thought so.

As promised, here is the second half of the same pod, which we have cheekily claimed as a point five episode. This instalment features the shenanigans from invasion, and also a run through of each of our games.

OB Podcast Episode 12: Postvasion - The News

You could think of Invasion as a mighty, giant uddered cow, who's milk is the very nectar of information and interest. On that same train of thought, you could also say that we at OB have grabbed a teat each and milked that mighty, giant uddered cow for all it's worth. Seriously, the cow is now completely void of the weird milk. Barren.

OB: The Game Zone

Ladies and Gentlemen, Cyborgs, Hosts, and Hedgehogs, do we have a spectacle for you tonight! (Do we?) Yes, we absolutely do! Grab your popcorn and take a seat, while we present to you our very first game show; The Game Zone!

In a crazy change to our normal podcast, we have brought in two special guests to face off against the motley crew of Mike, Ed and Joe in a no-holds bar, Dropzone themed show! Who are these mystery contestants? Why, none other than James and Simon of Hawk Wargames! My scouts tell reports that Dave wasn't available because he was terrified of playing against the Testosterone Trio.

OB Podcast 11.5: Dibdib Dobdob

People of thine internet, hear ye hear ye! Team OB haveth delivered to their promise from ye olde episode 11, and unveil today their 11.5ieth episode!

What can your mind expect to be invaded with this time around? Scouts, scouts and more scouts! We will discuss the best way to assemble a pop-up tent, how to make a fire with only a box of matches and 17 fire lighters, and the difficulties of gathering edible food from an Aldi.

Hah, no, of course not; we don't know anything camping. Nope, you will instead be listening to us discuss the finer points of the Scout choices within Dropzone, ranging from 'which are the better units?' all the way too 'why should I take a squad?'!

OB Podcast Episode 11: OB:TMG

Hello, welcome to Americana. Please make your selection followed by the £ sign.......now

We are back for another thigh-slappingly, shambolically fun episode just for your earholes!

There is a lot of talk on Dropfleet, or should we say OB:TMG (you'll just have to listen to understand that), and some news of new units for Dropzone; that's right, our first love is getting some love! We also stuff in a fair bit of hobby chat.

Welcome to Episode 11!

OB Podcast Episode 10: Postvasion and Chill

Join us faithful listeners, for an evening stuffed full of war stories, general moaning and maybe even some casual chill.

That's right, it's the next instalment in our Podcast series, and we are chatting and analysing Invasion Autumn 2015!

OB Podcast Episode 9: Prevasion: The Return

So it’s been a while again. Damn life for being so lifey, and full of nonsense!

Invasion is approaching fast and we are all excited for the pinnacle of the tournament year.
We had a few interruptions whilst recording the pod including Sgt. Slaughters first bumbling appearance on our sacred sound-waves. Also there was an England match on the telly (my fault!). I might have also been eating fried chicken too.

I know, I know - very unprofessional.......

Video Interview with Dave Lewis

So this is an exciting time to be part of Orbital Bombardment; I am very proud to present to you our very first foray into the world of video interviews, with our interviewee none other than Dave Lewis of Hawk Wargames!

As with first times in all avenues of life we experienced a small problem, specifically in sound department (my mic wasn't turned on...). However it doesn't distract from the great content I managed to squeeze from Dave! We chat about the impending Kickstarter for Dropfleet Commander and what to expect from it, and discuss the reception of all the new summer releases for Dropzone Commander. On top of this Dave talks about the app which is close to release!

OB Podcast Episode 8: Fresh Meat For Grinder

Hello and good day, it has been a while. For that I can only say..........absence makes the heart (and ears) grow fonder. 

We have a plethora of news to discuss plus an OB exclusive from Hawk - you won't find out first from any other source!!

OB Podcast Episode 7 - Tournamentitis

There is something sweeping through the OB offices and its hit all of us hard; even those of a human-cyborg Spherish persuasion. It’s been clouding our thoughts, and keeping us tossing and turning all night long, muttering random words squakishly in our sleep like 'Recon’, ‘Targets Of Opportunity’ and ‘Spamtari’. What’s the plague that has fallen upon us?

Tournamentitis!

OB Podcast Episode 6.5: MBT All Right With Me

It's time to settle down from the mania that was Salute and the revelations that revelated the DzC community. Some people may practise yoga, whereas others might have a lovely bubbly bubblybath to relax. Well allow us to provide an alternative:

Episode 6.5 of the podcast!
