Geek Panel

[tacticslion]

I'm probably not going to have the ability to call anything in (no skype/internet type stuff), but are you guys geeky enough to... discuss DnD?!?!?

... or, barring that, t3h PATHFINDER?!?!?!?!?!?!1!1!1!one!one!one!

Hey, you've already got people making unreasonable demands that their particular niche be catered to, just like a real radio show! ... heh-heh... yeah, sorry.

Do a E3 Panel as a one-shot to see if your audience likes it and trim the edges from that into a final format.

Also, for conferences you should have 3-5 people with you. It's just a safe logic... too many people and it gets crowded and a conversation becomes noise. Too little and as soon as you hit the first slow point the show dies.

also to prevent Technical Difficulties with your guests. (if you have 3 people with you and someone has trouble and logs off, you still have 2 Guests with is still enough to have a decent conversation of some length)

I'd participate but I'd probably drop something or some shit while I'm on the air and let out a 'fuck' without thinking about it, and then you'd be all, "Dude, you're going to get me fired," and I'd be all, "Oh shit, sorry, dude," and that would be the end of your radio career.

And in so much as ending your radio career would probably be the best thing I could ever do for the world, I'd still feel bad.

...Plus I don't think I've talked for more than 10 minutes without cussing since I was like 13, so there's that.

The ultimate goal is to dethrone Limbaugh. I thought you might be on board with that.

As far as an E3 panel, we could do that starting the second show, but I doubt any of our current demographic even knows what a vidjagame system is. Much less anime. We might have to ween them a bit before we let them have the good stuff. That's why I'd suggest a movie/tv discussion. What's out, what's coming out, that sort of thing.

First thing we have to do is get everyone together on Skype, or at least those who would want to participate in the test run, and decide on topics. Maybe the finale of Lost (even though I haven't seen a single episode), 24's finale and movie, um.....whatever else is happening. The show's every Saturday 6-8pm EST. We don't necessarily have to start the panel this week, but if we're ready by then I'd like to give it a shot.

And it doesn't really matter what your specialty is. If you hold any sort of position on any website or at any company anywhere, or even just a college major, I can make you sound like hot shit.

I can talk about Doctor Who.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

I'd be kind of keen to listen to you guys, assuming it streaming on internet somewhere.
Also if you need to get yanked off the air I reckon I can do it faster than Krylo.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

Does this mean I have to watch TV now >=(

I hate TV!

[Magus]

It's definitely on the web somewhere, Bob has linked the radio station's website in past topics and it was apparently streamable. The one time I bothered tuning in though Bob had been preempted by something, or I couldn't get it to work, or something like that. There was definitely a reason I didn't listen to his show that was not simply pure laziness!

[Bob The Mercenary]

Yup. www.wdvrfm.org if you feel compelled to listen.

I've been looking for topics and Fark's showbiz section always seems ripe with them. Pilgrim vs. The World looks mindblowingly fantastic. They're making a Sex and the City 3 -_-. Captain America is being filmed. We could also hint at the new reality show based in NJ if we want to get a little local action. And we could focus a little more on the comic movies if you would prefer, since a lot of you seem to have that down to a science.

[Edit] Oh yeah, and there's a list of 5 video game movies that completely missed the point that we could go down.

Do an entire panel on the new Marmaduke movie. It's a movie based on a comic, it practically writes itself. Bonus Guest: Marmaduke Explained!
