I support this initiative 100%.

After the NVC fiasco, I think podcasting would be better among the gamers themselves as opposed whining, bitter, and enraged "journalist" who troll and insult their audience just for hits.

I volunteer to participate too, if you guys would have me.

Could you elaborate? It might give me an idea about what kind of hurdles to expect

Voted for the first option. Seems like a pretty interesting idea Khuutra. Hopefully, most of the members will have a shot at it so we can get as many perspectives and subjects as we can. Plus, it shouldn't just be available to the "elite," if you catch my drift, but I think we already got this covered.

If it all works well, maybe I could even join one day! Though, I might have a hard time conversing real time in English. It would be quite an experience to chat with people from all over the world (mostly NA... but still)... cause we don't have to be in the same room, amirite?

thats a great idea.

(i sound like aion)

Because there are no whining, bitter and enraged gamers who spew insults? 

I like the idea. There's quite a few members I'd like to hear the views of.

Do you still have your account on the staff forums?

It'd be a lot easier if you did, because I don't think it'd be good to copy/paste something from there.

this could be awesome, and I would love to participate if needed.

Looking at the multiple responses, I'd say that there's an overwhelming notion that people want this to happen, but we definitely need a strong foundation to stand on.

First off is the leader, or host (with the most). Pretty much this'll be the guy that has to deal with people, because people come with a lot of stuff (commitment issues for one). As a college student in the theatre/movie scene, I've seen too many examples of where people are initially excited about a great idea, but then fade away... only to leave the leader by him/herself... incredibly frustrated.

Luckily, we have plenty of people who are eager to do this, and it doesn't take as much time/effort/money/etc. as a full blown theatre/movie production.

Next off we need a long term plan. We need to blow past the first podcast with a plethora of ideas. Once again, I've seen too many examples of a great idea that has a great start... and then "now what?" starts to creep up. It can be messy.

But once again, the people speaking are the content, so we don't have to worry about future episodes (aka, future speakers) too much. We just need willing people.

So yeah, I'm definitely up for this idea, I picked "1" a while ago without a second thought, but your epic wall posting skills have brought me back to say "Yes, this is a great idea. And yes, I'm willing to give it all I've got."

Plus, you guys need to have someone like me on this podcast. Sonic must have a voice!

Sounds interesting.
