Tisk, tisk. You'll never get to be a moderator if you use that word!

I was thinking, there is a program in Windows where you type in text and a voice thingy reads that. So, maybe we could use that, and I could make an appearance on the show?!

I have all sorts of zainy quirks, right Compromise?

[Compromise 1]

This Thread WILL go back on topic now or the board moderators are going to have to act and bad things will happen.

 

I have spoken to Villarule over the comment and it has been resolved as a misunderstanding over what the post was for and that we shall use PM's and the report post button to complain about issues with others posting and nothing else. Thank you.

Form meaning content wise or file wise? If you are talking about content here the lineup:

 

- Introductions

- Current Events / News

- Round-Table Discussion

- Reviews (BATT, MODD, CJ, MAPP, and Game)

- Interviews (People from far and wide will be interviewed - I have a few in mind already)

- Conclusion / See you next time

 

...if you were talking about file format it will be available in the almost universal format of .mp3.

[brtim2 11]

What is meant by the 'Current Events/News' and the 'Roundtable' portions of the show? Current news around the world, or only from the SimCity world? Roundtable like political discussion or something like that?

[GingerBlokey 30]

Ive just recorded the promo with Simman and the first show sounds really exciting. It should be here this evening/afternoon

The Current Events/News will include SC4, Simtropolis, Spore, and regular news. The Roundtable will include ONLY Simcity 4 Issues, Special ST Event Coverage, and General Discussion about gaming. NO POLITICS.

 

 

[GingerBlokey 30]

Well I am certainly all hyped up now. I just had a listen and I cant wait for episode 1. I am so excited to be interviewing our guest too. I think I could scream.

[Codythemonkey 0]

wow awesome the Podcast is a great idea i love it! cant wait for episode 1

[brtim2 11]

Thank you. That is what I was going to suggest. I say, no politics. They can get rather dicey. SC4 and such. Glad to hear we were on the same page.

[starrdarcy 4]

I would love to have a portion or weekly quest portion on the podcast! i can advanced simcity 4 stratgy and tactics as well as new ideas for simcity 5. I also now in depth about multiplayer games and concepts.

What are the requiremnts?

[BarbulaM1 38]

The teaser sounds great . I wonder who the guest will be?

and congradulations on getting it all together, we all cannot wait till the first episode.

[clindhartsen 5]

Seems like a pretty good little introduction to your little project there. Maybe a swifter intro in my own mind, but overall can't wait to see what direction this heads into!

[Dirktator 2,327]

hey guys, nice job... I really like it!

[hym 358]

Is is possible to post a version that opens a download window?  I ask because I would like to listen to the podcast as I think it is a great idea, however, when I click on the link, WMP starts up and immediately my firewall comes up and asks if I want to allow WMP access to the internet.  I'd say yes, except that it wants the password before it will allow WMP access to the internet and I don't have the password hence, I can't listen to the podcast.

Are you dissing that song-that-I-can't-remember-the-name-of-but-like? Better not be. It's a good song.

[DuskTrooper 316]

Sounds uber awesome, dudes! I can't wait to participate!

[Ryan B 35]

Nicely done!  This will become the second podcast I listen to.  The first one is TMS:  The Morning Skate - The Official Podcast of the Buffalo Sabres.

[Superstar 69]

So sweet! I love it! I think this is going go really well, seems you have more or less found the way to do this and it's awwesome!

haha..

Great idea IMO..

btw if you need some one with havy russian accent then Im your man

We already have JohnB for that.

Oh, BTW, the intro could be spiced up with an announcement, or something. I'll probably be doing that, since everyone seems to like that idea...(via chats, at least)

[Rymac91 15]

I was expecting a 5 second chime like thing for the intro...though the differnce between the microphones is cause a unusiall effect...it sounds like ginger is reporting on the go like those traffic reports and new simman sounds automated.to be honest ginger sounds like a News Reporter lol..this I'll have to listen to when it starts...though if you want to do a joke you can do the weather and traffic report for simtropolis . other than that it sounds good..

[brtim2 11]

weather? it would be continually snowing!

[sloppet 3]

so , I've just listened to it and:
1. Man, you have really funny voices
2. well, the music is ok, I don't like it, but you can add a for example Surfacing by SliPKnoT
3. it's nice to see simtropolis is moving on to the next level,

So, nice work you guys, keep it up

[gggg 9]

I just Love it dudes...

yet I have a few notes I want to talk about...

 

- I realy think you should chenge the way you do It.. for exampl

  in the teaser after every sentens some one else speaks... like that

                                                                                     simman: first sentens

                                                                                     GB: secend sentens

                                                                                     simman: 3rd sentens... etc...

 

   the better way to do this is by gveing one person to talk about any topic and then lett some one elso

   to talk about another topic.... for exampl

                                                       simman: first topic ( trixies or something.. )

                                                       GB: 2nd topic ( interviews or whatever.. )... etc...

 

but over all I realy liked it

 

 

We already have JohnB for that.

I dont think he has a Russian accent...

does he??

 

BTW GB.. love your accent

[GingerBlokey 30]

Well in answer to some questions.

1) If youd like to listen to it by saving it just right click it and click save.

2) If you were wondering about the different in voices it would be for 2 reasons:
a) Simman has a headset and I have a desk mic
b) Simman has a very warm voice and I have quite a sharp voice

3) Simman is responsible for the into music, I like it, I like DT's idea too

4) JohnB deffinetly has a strong Russian accent

5) Yes I do have the coolest accent

6) We did this in about 30 minutes so it was a bit rushed and the result is just a preliminary example, me nor simman had much experience with Audacity or Podcasting so youll have to excuse the apperance.

7) Thankyou soooooooo much for your comments Im really chuffed to have my voice on the front page ... thanks Dirk

[Compromise 1]

Excellent work, I love it. Looking forward to the first full episode.

[airmale007 3]

OMG. This is awesome. I sometimes do the announcements at the beginning of school; you guys remind me of that for some reason. Finally, I can put voices with the... screenames.

Great work!
