Re: GT Podcast Round 2
 

I'm surprised this thread got as far as it did without my notice. If it's going to be official maybe we should sticky it (then again, I could just learn to read).

Regardless, I'd be happy to participate in any way you guys might need. I can do recording, transcription, editing (both video and audio), and content.

Re: GT Podcast Round 2
 

I'm down with the Nerds on the Rocks (Are a Bloody Mess) title. Haven't listened to the themes so I can't offer my opinion.

I also have SOME knowledge of comics. We could also talk about the Losers since the movie will be coming relatively soon, although the format Earl suggested for the first podcast looked good to me.

Re: GT Podcast Round 2
 

Okay so TML has agreed to record and edit for us.

I think depending on the time frame, we may need someone else to record and send to him.

Now with that settled, we have the name/music issue to work on, which is in the other thread.

Third, I want folks to send samples of their audio quality eitiher via like a minute long monologue of sorts or adding me on Skype and testing it out there.

Thank you.

Hope to record Wedn/Thurs night this week.

Re: GT Podcast Round 2
 

Okay, I think we have determined a name

Nerds on The Rocks

We have an idea of the format.

We have someone who will edit.

We just need to get the staff and the recording dates down.

And another song for your ears. I'm REALLY fond of this one.

Re: GT Podcast Round 2
 

Yeah, I really like Nerds On The Rocks.

We could wait a couple days and discuss Kick-Ass. I'm seeing a showing on Thursday

Nerds on the Rocks Episode 1
 

Okay, I think we have finally settled on a name. (I really like so it counts for something)

We have a semi-working theme song.

Any feedback is appreciated as this whole project is a work in progress.

Now we just need to come up with a recording schedule. TML has agreed to edit the cast, and I'm sure we can find some place to host it.

As stated before, Keaton has agreed to be the host for now (Unless he has changed his mind) and we have a stable of people who want to have their voices heard. At best, want the staff to rotate around the main topic of discussion for the week.

Now for episode 1, we have a lot of ways to go but the basic breakdown.

On The Rocks (Segment One)
Will be the segment where folks talk about what new media they have consumed.
I would like this to be known ahead of time. If nothing else, I want to make sure that everyone on the podcast for the week knows what the other person is talking about. They don't need to know intricate details, but they need to know if its a CD, a movie, a comic series or whatever it is.

Survey Says (Segment Two)
This week is still a toss-up. Depending on when we record and people's purchasing habits, it can either be a discussion of Kick-Ass (the comic and the movie, how it compares and all that jazz) or it can be a look at Splinter Cell: Convinction.

None of us are real pros, but I believe its also NPD week, I don't suggest it.

On Tap (Segment 3)
This is a combination news/look ahead segment.
Depending on the week, it can be a recap of nerd news. New Ultimate Spiderman cartoon, Joss Whedon directing the Avengers, and the likes.

Or it can be a discussion of the movie of the week (Kick-Ass/The Losers), new comics (Brightest Day), Blu-ray/DVD news (LoTR just released), TV shows (24, LOST. W/e)

So here's the thread, want some solid ideas and a firm time.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 1
 

I'm in class until 7:40 Eastern tomorrow, and it takes me generally about an hour and a half to finally relax after having dinner and the like. So I'm good after that. Thursday nights are generally good for me as well. I would also say Saturday morning/afternoon is good for me, but I might be having some plans for this coming Saturday that'll cause me to have to stay out. Sunday nights are great too.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 1
 

Okay I had another idea for the middle portion of the podcast.

Today marks the final day of Xbox Live for original Xbox games.

So thought would be a cool thing to look at the development/evolution of console gaming over the past 9 years.

Where it has come, where you hope to see it go.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 1
 

I suggest discussing God of War III

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 1
 

Yeah, that could probably be done in the media consumption block, though.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 1
 

Not much to discuss really. The franchise altogether could be a better discussion as well. I have a few tidbits of info of about how they're going to take the series from here on in as well.

Re: GT Podcast Round 2
 

I'm down for contributing.

My areas of expertise: Electronic engineering, some video games (PC, Wii, and PS3), some movies, a little music, Houston, New Orleans, Texas, some rock climbing, some Europe travel, Malta, Italy, long walks along the beach, etc.

Maybe this ought to be a once a month thing, so we don't over extend ourselves trying to get things out every week when we really don't have much interesting stuff to talk about.

EDIT: Oh, and I can talk about micro-brews and alcohol. We could do like a drink of the week/month, have clanking bottles and talking about what goes in it while making it, and then a taste test right then and there.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 1
 

So can we try and get this rolling tonight around 8 pm, if anyone is around?
