Why do we have to have debates anyways? How about we just discuss what we like and don't like about games (and other topics of the sort), without trying to include "The Xbox Clan" or "The Nintendo Clan?" I think gaming is a great passion. There are plenty of subjects to talk about and you don't need to side for any company. There's not just the console war going on... and like I always say, there's only a war if you want to see a war.

This is kind of close to my feelinig on the matter. Like I said, though: work in progress.

A debate type format like around the horn doesn't mean you need 1 guy from each side arguing. Heck, on their show sometimes they all agree on the same thing, but they each bring a different point. It just means that you have a host asking questions, and people answering. It drives the conversation forward much like an interview 1-on-1, only with 1 host and multiple responders. The host is responsible for planning the topics ahead of time, giving some insite to the situation, and asking others what they think of it. It isn't like I'm suggesting the generic question of "what did you play this week" never be asked, or other open ended general discussion questions.

Ooo... suppose we had revolving topics, maybe depending on the guest speakers we have? One week we could all talk about some big new game or a particular piece of news, the next week we could all make public our predictions for console sales through the next year and have a debate centered around that... that sort of thing.

Yeah, some form of structure would make sense. So, perhaps an early news section, a feature (say on peripherals), a sales section - look at a single or genre of games for example, as well as occasional discussion on broader sales topics and perhaps a parody section, where we pretend to be IGN or other moany-ass wingers. Hehe.
There's so much history in gaming culture that we could do a feature on old school stuff.
Finally, you need some people with passion and charisma to do it.
Yes.
