h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just wanted to bring a wonderful piece of work to everyone's attention:

A46900082

This is the first in an audio series written by Terran and Aviated by 2legs - there's a link to the audio on the page. I think it's marvellous

it is!

thanks for the tip

HHGG started with a radio play. We've finally got back to the source. I think it's incredibly exciting

Did/does the audio come out alright on other speakers/systems?; I always think I get a biased view when I test audio out with my £££ Monitoring sytem, and then on the giant HiFi monolyth speakers

Sounds fine to me

The sound quality is BRILLIYANT, 2legs!

Well done Terran, too

It wants me to instal apple quicktime.

Ignore that.. and it will load

Applesauce to you all

Ooooh... I didn't know this was going up today Thanks everyone! I can't hear it yet because I'm in work, so I've not heard 2legs finished part yet. But I'm sure its excellent as it certainly seems to have gone down well! Has it still got that great intro? How do I sound? It's scary, you can all hear me now...

Big thanks to Rich, 2legs and everyone at the aviators for even making this possible!

and cunningly you can't hear me.... (I disguised my voice )

Oh, and BTW, I've just started working on the next two parts

Bel, you can also download the file from the feed at http://h2g2aviators.com/?feed=beeblecast&view=html - we can't link to downloads directly from Post articles, so we have to link to the QT player.

I'm not going to tell you anything about it, Terran. You'll just have to wait til you get home

Good idea, Rich, thanks. Could have thought of it myself.

My internet connection is currently extremely slow, though, so it took me ages. It even takes ages to load a page here.

Wow that was very well aviated. I like the voice at the beginning and end - sounds a bit like a guy who has been smoking a 100 a day since childhood! :D Very good job guys! I've hopefully got better with the accents and things as time has gone on! Still I'm very excited by this, I've just got a couple of people I know to listen to it and it seems to have gone down well! A real team effort. Hopefully the first of many other audio stories - I don't want to be the first and last!

And now I can finally say I've earned my badge!

The voice was mine... and yes I've been smoking since childhood but don't quite* sound like that... without the jiggery pokery I added on to the track to give it that affect

I just remembered the collection of audio files I have of me doing the intro and outro speaking, which I'd completely forgotten I did!

Ach.

You do it better Leggster. :thumbup:

By the way Roymondo, that theme still sounds pretty awesome!

Themes I can do.

The other stuff I, unfortunately, haven't got time for.

Gah! These things were so much easier when I was a slacker!

Ahhh haa! not only* am I a slacker, I'm now an unemployed slacker
