"The Soda Fountain" - Adventures in Odyssey News: March, 2005

March 30, 2005

My countdown clock is nearly extinguished... so check back this Friday to find out what it's all about! :o). And don't forget to tune into "A Most Intriguing Question" this Saturday! I guarantee you won't want to miss it as it's going to go down in AIO history... (and I never say that).

March 26, 2005

Considering "Something Big" launches in exactly one week, this is by far the latest that the names of upcoming episodes have been released. So without further ado, may I present you "Something Big":

"A Most Intriguing Question"
"A Most Surprising Answer"
"A Most Extraordinary Conclusion"

That's right everyone, it'll be a three-parter! The remaining two weekends in April will provide us with:

"Two Friends and a Truck"
"The Power of One"

So that's that! Oh, and keep checking out The Official Site today... there may be "something more" to the "Something Big" clue that was revealed yesterday.

March 25, 2005

Good Friday! It's hard to believe that in just over a week, both my clock and the "Something Big" clock will expire. Speaking of "Something Big", the final clue has been put up. I'll be the first to admit it doesn't seem very helpful, but maybe there's more too it than meets the eye? Or perhaps there is something obvious we are all missing? Well, I suppose it doesn't matter... 8 days from today, on April 2, 2005, Odyssey will never be the same...

A week between updates? Wow, hopefully things slow down for me soon so that I can get back to finding you some interesting information! In the meantime, today clue seven of "Something Big" has been posted at The Official Site. It's April's "Odyssey Scoop", which is Alex Jefferson's blog, and contains a lot of juicy tidbits... only one clue left!

March 06, 2005

I was able to steal away a couple of hours to get over 15 Talk to the Paws posted for you. So spend some time perusing the questions and answers! I've also reorganized the section to make it easier for people to find things... it was originally designed so that you could just scroll to the top and see the most recent answers, however it's now organized that you scroll to the bottom... this was to make the list of questions at the top the same order as those found on the page and not the reverse order.

Also, on the Odyssey merchandise front, this June will see the launch of AIO's "Life Lessons", a new "best of" series that will contain 3 episodes on 1 CD each. This June, expect:

Vol. 1: Courage
Vol. 2: Compassion
Vol. 3: Humility
Vol. 4: Diligence

Then in September, the next 4 will be released:

Vol. 5: Peer Pressure
Vol. 6: Perseverance
Vol. 7: Honesty
Vol. 8: Friendship

Each episode is hand picked by the Odyssey team (primarily Marshal Younger and Dave Arnold) and I'll try and have the exact episode listings for you at a later date. So if you are missing some episodes from your collection and don't want to shell out money for an entire album, this is a great alternative... not only are they the best episodes, but they are entirely re-mastered!

It has come to my attention that many people are unable to hear the audio clues that have been posted at The Official Site. So to remedy the situation, I have converted and uploaded the audio clues in mp3 format for you to download here:

Clue Three
Clue Four
Clue Five

There is also an activity page that has been posted for "Along for the Ride", which will be released this April. And for those who would like to get the next batch of remastered CD versions of albums 6, 7, and 8, well they are available at Focus on the Family's Resource page! So go and order "Mission: Accomplished", "On Thin Ice", and "Beyond Expectations" (you know you want to!) :o).

I apologize for the total lack of, well, pretty much everything in the past little bit. Unfortunately this week and next I'm bogged down with several very large assignments and tests that have pretty much stolen much of my focus and I haven't had time for the site. Not that there is much news to report or anything, but I'd still very much like to get a new round of Talk to the Paws up. Maybe this time next week? Until my schedule slows down, please bare with me ;o) I promise I have some neat stuff in store within the next little bit to share with everyone!

Oh, and in case I don't get the chance to mention it, don't forget that the fifth clue is up tomorrow over at The Official Site. Things are really going to be interesting!
