You've Been In My Life So Long, 200th Episode Celebration - AvP Galaxy Podcast #200

[Local Trouble]

Least I could get is a shout out when Hicks drops one of his many F-bombs.  I might even be the reason he drops one.

Guys, it's been an absolute honour to be on this wild ride with you all.

I couldn't tell you exactly how long I've been on the site - I think I came across it in the late 2000s and joined the Prometheus hype train, Harvest / Jockey canon April Fool's and all - but it's been a huge part of my life for at least 15 years now.

What a balm it is to be part of such a passionate community of like-minded ahem ... 'Geeks', as you call us all ... and just look at you now.

Loved, loved, loved this episode. You deserved to look back on all that you've achieved and you should be proud.

I know I don't post a lot, but I'm here, every single day, and it feels bloody great to be part of this community.

Onwards!

Great episode! I've been around since the AVP R days. I remember downloading AVP R promo shots from here onto my PS3 to use as backgrounds back then. I love the wide variety of topics covered in the podcast from game development, filmmaking, comics, writing novels, etc.. there's something for everyone and it's a great peek at how those industries work from the guests that come on. Congratulations and here's to 200 more!

Good episode but my minor gripe is, was this filmed just before Christmas December 2024? The tree in Mike Monsters room and Xenomorphines Christmas cracker gold paper crown were a give away. As too was the Hick's Mike's banter about AVP 2 online deathmatch on PC-CD ROM just before Christmas Eve.

It's like you made this but ummed and ahhed before releasing it. Like a YouTube tokyo "livefeed" from Japan got exposed as a loop as it showed peak Merry Christmas 2023 shoppers, in late January 2024!

Why would a Christmas tree in the background of a video released in January and filmed sometime before it was released, be a problem?

We filmed this the day before New Years Eve. I've been busy on a production for the last 2 months and hadn't had the time to take our tree down. It came down a few days after New Years. I brought up the AvP2 on Christmas thing because it was part of our relationship, which is tied to the site.

The podcasts often come out a few weeks after recording them, as Hicks has a busy life as well.

Honestly not sure why this is something to even be a minor gripe about.

Ah ok. About me being pedantic I tend to like to be as up to date as possible. So if a podcast is released later I prefer to have a "recorded on" date on it.

It sets off my OCD when people leave up Xmas decorations in late January the following year (though not the case with the podcast). It's traditional to have them down by the 5th of Jan - and to avoid bad luck if you're superstitious too.

The Tokyo livefeed channel was different as that was pertaining to be "live".

Most interesting podcast was one with Rex Pickett when he was unloading on David Giler about the hookers. I was thinking this is awkward 😂

In the early 90's, Julia Philips (Close Encounters of the Third Kind producer) wrote a Hollywood tell-all that accused Giler of an obsession with Asian and barely-legal girls. And trips to Thailand.

Wow did not know that. Yikes

It was one of those books that made everyone look ugly; Hollywood in the 70's and 80's, cocaine, drinking, producers playing cards and making deals, stuff like that.

Definitely one of the more memorable discussions we've had!

Did they only just ditch my intro or did they do it yonks ago?

This was the first episode with the new intro, courtesy of @Still Collating...

Just want to thank everyone for the feedback on this episode. It was a really nice discussion just reminiscing. It still trips me out sometimes when I think about just how long I've been coming to this place. Hearing people say the podcast helped them with rough times, learn English, or just that they've enjoyed listening for a while always makes me feel great and keeps me motivated.

When I joined up for that first podcast on Colonial Marines at Aaron's request, would not have imagined doing the number of episodes I have since then. Been a wild ride.

It's sad that that sex tourism was the first thing I thought of when I heard Giler had passed in Thailand.

Oh God Alien Harvest, enjoying the pod, will update this poster later.
