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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I know episode 1 isn't even out yet (it will hopefully be up sometime tonight) but I wanted to get some people lined up for this week's episode so we could schedule a time.

This week's episode will mainly focus on cartoons/shows based on video games. So if you have any experience in this field, come on down.

magus113 · 04-20-2010, 02:28 PM

I'm down

Well, since this thread seems to be dying, I'm definitely willing to participate again. I'm down to record pretty much whenever. Well, I have to study today for my exam tomorrow. Of course I have to become inebriated after said exam. Other than that, any time is good.

BreakABone · 04-22-2010, 12:25 PM

Just some general suggestions as always.

I think we should record in smaller chunks, perhaps do like 15-20 minute sessions of recording. And then a short break. One makes it easier for the person editing the podcast, but also gives you folks time to discuss what going to talk about next. Maybe get some notes/find links or whatever in case everyone draws a blank.

Also since, there were some minor technical issues, could potentially help to alleviate them.

Another thing, I think there should be an intro and then an agenda run-down before the theme song.
Like Hi my name is X, and X and X and this week we will talk about Y,Y and Y. Theme Song... and then Welcome to Nerds on the Rock, and go from there.

As for naming suggestions,

I believe originally was like, On The Rocks, Survey Says and On Tap

On The Rocks is taken since name of the podcast haha

So let's see,
we can still use Nerds on Tap for the news portion.
And will think

See if you can get your musical wizard to do really short (a couple seconds) jingles for each segment.

Teuthida · 04-22-2010, 02:49 PM

itunes placeholder until I have time to do something better.

The final will probably be something like this with items in the cubes such as a controller, a superhero or comicbook, and.....any ideas for how to depict movies/tv?

magus113 · 04-23-2010, 09:56 AM

I like it! The other idea sounds pretty awesome too.

BreakABone · 04-23-2010, 12:49 PM

I love the banner right now, but curious what else he has up his sleeves.

Anyhow, Keaton may or may not be around this weekend, he'll let us know later. So we may need 1 or 2 people to fill in this week.

Anyone game-d?

Topics of choice ATM is going to be Video game Cartoons and Marvel vs Capcom 3 roster speculation.

magus113 · 04-23-2010, 02:05 PM

I'm not gonna be able to record unless it's like, Sunday. I'm out of the house tonight and I have a Porcupine Tree concert tomorrow.

Teuthida · 04-23-2010, 04:39 PM

How about-- yeah, I suppose not...
