Oh man, this is going to be embarrassing. Keep in mind everyone that we're still in prototyping phases! Try to listen for the potential!

Good points about using visual cues to let the player know what's coming.

Need to go back to God Hand. The samurai boss made me punch myself in anger a few times. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't go back to it. Man it was a fun ride though.

[Toups]

we do intend on editing this into something, uh, cohesive.

yeah we need to meet beforehand in the server and equalize our volumes next time

also, you guys have to use headphones. otherwise we get echo off your speakers into your mic

OH MY GOD GUYS IT'S DONE; I CAN LISTEN TO IT!

I think the first thing I'm going to do is skip to the parts that I remember being the most fun and face the cold reality.

Then I'm going to jump to the parts where I wasn't there.

Someday I will listen to this straight through.

ok so after i fixed my mic, it still kept giving me error messages about not having the proper codec (i'm on a mac) and how it was set to something else and i'm not sure how to fix it. i can't even hear any of you guys on my headphones.

So listening to chunks of this now, I'm finding myself enjoying the conversation, despite what I see mostly as technical hurdles. I especially like the rapport that starts to develop towards the end (I particularly like the screwing around that happened after I left). Toups, I feel like you might make a good host if you really decided to step into that role (though maybe you're too chill; I dunno).

What I was trying to get at by saying that half our problems would be fixed if we were meeting in person is that maybe rather than trying to come up with a way to limp along with what we've got we should try and find a way to approximate actually meeting physically as much as possible? I don't know: is there something like iChat for PC's? I don't have a webcam myself, but--well--how much are they? But then I guess that completely ruins the democratic spirit of trying to have a podcast that could potentially include almost any member of the board? I actually think that's the ideal solution, though--rather than trimming around the lag in Audacity or creating some sort of arcane talking structure.

Hey guys, sorry I didn't make this, but I will next time.

A combination of internet death and my house having 14 sorority girls meeting in it led to some complications. Still, can't wait to listen to this.

[| BLUE | BLACK | PURPLE |]

yeah, well what motherfucker

[Jujyfruits]

i was going to jump in but i just figured out how to make everything work when you were already recording and i had a terrible hangover and the headphones gave me an awful headache. but the good thing is i now know how to make stuff work and i spent most of my days not hungover, so i'm willing to give it a try when you do it again.

i'll listen to this later.

BBP, you raise some good points, but I think some of it is can be explained. We may have missed a lot of opportunities, but it was very hard to jump in and take advantage of an opportunity. I think we were all having different lag problems, so usually by the time someone would finish talking and I would want to make a point about what they said, that person would have finished talking 10 seconds earlier for someone else and so somebody else would have already started talking. Sometimes I would jump in when I knew that the person had actually finished but I was still hearing them talk, and it would be really hard to get my thoughts together until the voice I was hearing would stop.

I also think you are discounting the fact that at the heart of this it really was just a meet and great. We didn't have a moderator, we barely stayed on the proposed topic, but we did start to get used to actually talking to each other. I think as we get a format figured out and a moderator to lead the discussion, the quality of the discussion will definitely improve. Also, I'm doing this to improve myself. I'm not happy with my level of cognition concerning these things and my lack of real participation in discussions. I see this podcast as a real kind of do or die type of situation that will hopefully force me to raise my abilities and help me to participate in more thoughtful discussions.

Ren, seriously: don't bother. Nobody is more aware than me that that recording represents a lot of problems that need to be acknowledged, confronted, and surmounted, but BBP didn't speak to any of them. It's perfectly valid to hold the project to a high standard, but apparently BBP's ideal podcast would consist of us relating Godhand to various women we've fucked and then discussing which vegan burrito we favor. Also: comparing the supposedly objective value of a casual conversation to a written essay is ridiculous. BBP, have you actually heard Brandon talk on a podcast? It's not as if he rattles off words of wisdom, nor does Tim by the way. I get that you really like Tim, but by no means would I ever want SB Radio (or whatever) to be Timcast.

In closing: Toups, please get a different mic, because it was picking up a lot of background noise and audio artifacts, like your shifting in your chair and some sort of weird rhythm.

btw tim was on an 'organized' podcast a while ago
just dl that bbp if you want to know what it's like
and no i don't remember the name of the podcast

[CubaLibre]

yo i want to hear that.

y'all the first time we talked about doing a podcast google volunteered his services, he apparently managed the player podcast. if you go back through the archives it's a pretty fine podcast. one very relevant piece of information is that it only ever had three or maybe max four people on it at a time. this relates to what i was talking about at the end yesterday, how the confusion and trepidation is more a function of the sheer number of people + technical inevitabilities and probably isn't curable.
