My God... do you guys realize this?  While listening to the podcast.... MYD IS RESPONDING TO IT LINE BY LINE!  :-[   ;D

Sorrie, I had to comment on certain things that I laughed at or found worth replying to, as I was listening to it. ;)

Can't wait to see the next Podcast, myself.

I for one Liked Buffy!


Anyway, congrats guys that was surprisingly listenable.  After that rocky start I was sure I was going to be in for an awful hour. After you guys hit your stride it was actually pretty good.

A few things I noted:

1.  1 Hour is too long.  Perhaps a 30 or 45 minute cap would keep things moving along better.  I'd rather leave feeling that there were more things to talk about than listen to topics being beat to death

2.  The show flowed most smoothly when que played "host" and shot a direct topic at one person, then everyone discussed the topic.  For example, when que asked Idol about photography.  This also seemed to eliminate the ugly pregnant pauses.


Quote
Given that there's a bit of a learning curve for this, and given that not everybody is well suited to "radio" (I was happy to hear that Dan and Cools both handled themselves with grace and were very listenable), I don't know that it's a great idea to constantly be shifting people around and trying to get a new cast every time.  But of course I don't really want to leave people out if they want to participate... so it sort of leaves me in a bind.  We haven't discussed this kind of thing in great detail yet, so we'll have to get some kind of official consensus as to how we want to do things going forward.

It seems to me the show would be best with a few regular hosts and 1-2 "guests" each podcast., Similar to what TWiT does, with a regular stable of rotating guests, but with 3 regular hosts who are there almost every week.

After hearing that, I'd love to be a guest sometime!

Yeah, that first one wasn't bad at all. It would be awesome if all of us could join in at some point. I'd love to shoot the shit with you guys, so it would be great if all of us could manage to get together.

All at once would be pretty hard, on both a bandwidth level and, you know, chaos.

Not to mention we don't want an assload of useless podcasts with all of us talking about absolutely nothing and amusing nobody but ourselves.  I mean, hopefully this thing will actually provide people with some decent stuff to listen to aside from just being fun for the community.  However, yes, we've been discussing and would definitely like to get people involved.  The main podcast will certainly evolve as it goes along and probably become something of its own entity eventually (or at least I hope so), but we've got ideas we want to test out and hope to get different folks on there as we go along.  We've also got plans for some podcast-related audio stuff that'll be made available separately, and I think we've got some cool ideas there too that will give folks a chance to contribute.

When I heard you guys made a podcast, I thought it would be absolute rubbish. Then I listened to it. For a first run, it was actually not that bad! Kind of like a gaming-oriented TWiT. I think it should definitely be shorter than 1 hour, but otherwise, good stuff.

The hard part in making it shorter is you lose all track of time when recording. When we were finishing up it felt like we barely talked at all. So I suppose we can whittle it down by picking only a few topics to talk about each episode.

And personally I hate short podcasts.  They drive me absolutely nuts.  When I listen to something, I want something of substance.  I'm just getting into the PC Gamer podcasts when they end, which is why I don't listen for months then download a bunch at a time and listen to them all day.

I've been working at a format of 50 minutes now.  5 minutes opening, 10 news, 15 currently playing, 15 feature, 5 closing.  I think that seems about right, and with some editing it should bring the time down a bit.  My goal is for a roughly 45 minute show as it stands now.  I've written several more outlines using that formula.

45 minutes is a good time, from my past experience. Half an hour is ideal for TV, but audio allows a certain amount of multitasking.

That sounds pretty good.

Though --- hee hee hee! -- I'm sure some topics could be worthy of 45 minutes themselves ;)
Such as....
1. The Dislikes of STEAM
2. The Bad Practices of Huge Publishers (EA and Ubisoft take this cake...)
3. The Poor Execution of The "Games For Windows Vista"  Campaign

Well, we could talk for hours about all kinds of stuff, but... a show is a show.  Nobody is going to want to hear 45 minutes of the same topic.  Even I would get pretty tired of hearing about all the reasons STEAM sucks after about 10 minutes or so.

Don't forget you can always cut slow topics or the multiple extended silences.  Plus there were several interchanges where people talked on top of one another and then backtracked, leading to silence by all parties.

There was plenty that could have been cut, so don't try to set it all to a stop watch too much when recording.

Yeah, absolutely.  This was completely unedited.  We could have shaved a number of minutes off this.  Cools just wanted to get it up quickly for everybody so he didn't bother.  Either he or I will probably do a lot more chopping next time (if he doesn't feel like it I'm happy to help).

That's true. Happened a lot because of the network latency. It's something we'll have to get used to because the last thing I want to do is to edit out pauses in an hour show. :P

Again, I'm happy to do it.  Even if you want to track everything properly first and then I'll just go in and make cuts, I'm fine with that.  I've already listened to the show several times in order to get a better feel for things, and I'm very perfectionistic when it comes to this stuff.  That doesn't mean I'll be getting any better at it, mind you  :P  but I don't mind an hour or so in the editing room.

I demand that the statue be wielding a Guitar Hero controller, with a face a mixture of concentration and pure hatred. The plaque must read "'Bonanza': A lot politer than the reaction to Expert".

Statue of NatchDan:

Also that's not a penis, but a piece of his jacket.



edit:

Just noticed that the pubic hair looks a lot like a mustache for some reason.
