Nerds on the Rocks/Dual Wielding FeedBack

BreakABone · 04-11-2010, 02:07 AM

So I'm trying to put together a new podcast as I mentioned before, and before that can get off the ground.

Working on some things, I know already discussing in the other thread, but not everyone is checking it out, so figured would have this thread for general help.

First up is coming up with a name, we've been batting a few around. The main goal at least to me is to find a way to merge both the "Tavern" part of the name with the "Game" part of the name. With that said, here are a few of the suggestions

With a Twist
Just with a Twist
8 Bit Heist
8 Bit Bang!
Almost Gamers
The Nerd Round-Up
Cactus Punch
ThereCast
Life Potion

I mean just some ideas, feel free to throw some out, say which you think should stay, which should be burned and buried in the back.

Second off is the music, I posted samples of 2 songs my friend made for me in the other thread, but also trying to find songs from other sources. So far got some music from Wild Arms and Wild Guns, which is some pretty cool digitized western music.

Again offer up any suggestions or anything.

Another idea just had

The Good, The Bad and the (Pod)cast

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.

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.

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.

I suggest discussing God of War III

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

magus113 · 04-15-2010, 05:14 PM

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.

BreakABone · 04-15-2010, 06:37 PM

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

magus113 · 04-15-2010, 07:25 PM

8:30 might be better. Dinner first. Man's gotta eat.

Keatonmr · 04-15-2010, 08:19 PM

Tomorrow evening would be better for me than tonight, because tonight, I am seeing Kick-Ass haha
