This weekend! Short Notice!

Come prepared with any sort of Mech Video Game topic talk you can think of. Even if its just "I like Target Earth a lot." If its got a romping and stomping robots with a man inside of it, its fair game I would think. Lines will be blurred.

Here is a Schedule for this weekend: Enter your name and check which times you could start talking for 2 hours (roughly). Which ever matches the most -- WINS!

Go to the Podcast Sub Forum for details on how to join up in Ventrillo!

LINK TO SCHEDULE (Times listed are Central: St. Paul, Dallas, Mexico City, etc.)

Yes?

Oh man. I think the first podcast topic I could have things to talk about.

I don't have a microphone though, and I don't know if I have any free time this weekend.
I'll at least look forward to listening to it!

I don't know what that is, maybe you could talk about it with us.

Right now Sunday at 9pm (central) is the leading for participants.

Yesssssssssss

Guys I edited a super robot wars game so I will probably be on this to talk about how pretty cool that franchise is, but I'm having a really hard time figuring out what time to show up based on that doodle :<

I don't know why the Doodle is so WIIIIIIDE, hrrm. Sorry if its confusion.

But every hour of both saturday and sunday are listed, just click which hour works for you to Begin talking at. Green Means Go. Red Means No.

I will have to just pick a time that works the most fairly soon here based on results. Its looking like Sunday afternoon or evening though.

I am going to call it for tomorrow (Sunday) @ 1pm Central time.

There wasn't a clear cut time winner and I think this would give us more time zone sway, and a time needed to be picked.

Sorry if this excludes anyone.

Sort of interested in joining this, but honestly best I got is that I worked on Armored Core (and I can't really talk about that anyway) so I don't think I'd have much of interest to say.

Please join, things are pretty organic and people usually have more to say than they think they do going in.

Hook up a microphone or head set, download the software "Ventrillo" (download here), and if you need to follow the FAQ on their site on how to connect to a group and use this information to connect to the server we are currently using (courtesy of Flylighter):

selectbutton.ugt-servers.com
Port: 3862
Pass: l4d


Listen via headphones, keep the speakers off. You need to set a key on the keyboard to engage your microphone to speak. If we overlap, wait for whomever spoke first to resume.

We will have a little huddle to hammer out what each person wants to talk about or could talk about, and then just let the conversation naturally develop after the Shows intro. Don't worry about gaps in conversation, "umm"s or "uhh"s, we will edit those out.

For more expansive information check out the first few posts in this thread: Podcast Organization

That was a really concise and fun one! I worry we may not have talked enough about western stuff or deep mechanics, but good job, guys

I mentioned Mechwarrior! First thing! I just didn't have much to say about it beyond Mechwarrior 2 for PC being my first exposure to Mechs.

I hope you talked it up as the greatest game ever and also the best reason to own a Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro (it's all about that torso twist man). Also, contrast with the not very good but weirdly compelling SNES Mechwarrior.

yeah Mechwarrior 2 was deliberately the very first thing we talked about but I felt like we were probably a little light there

otherwise it's a great cast though honest

I did not mention anything about it being the greatest game ever, nor did I mention the sidewinder pro, BUT the SNES Mechwarrior does get a brief moment!

I actually almost mentioned the Sidewinder Pro w/r/t Mechwarrior 3 but didn't.

Cuba feel free to record a 5-10 minute errata clip on Mechwarrior 2

Yeah, I could splice that in as a "BONUS Comment from Cuba"

Make sure to include some tips / codes.

I wish I remembered that much about it.

You could get some easter eggy dialogue if you attacked your escort during the first training mission, if I remember correctly.
