We Need Content For Episode 007 Of The Podcast, And We Have A New Idea...

Since episode 006 is finally up, we need your content suggestions and questions for episode 007! You should have some time to submit, as I will be completely busy this upcoming weekend and won't be able to record a podcast. We might be able to record one sometime during the week though, so don't slack off too much!

Here is my idea. I want to try it once, do a completely uncut podcast, hear how it reall sounds. If a phone rings, we won't cut it out. If someone walks in on us, we won't cut it out. It would be like you're actually there! But this could be something not too big perhaps, but I want to add one thing to enhance the "live-style" uncut episode, and I would like to have a live call-in. While we are recording, we call you up, and you're part of our show! This definately wouldn't be a weekly thing, but it would be cool to try out once, and possibly try again later if it turns out good. Here's the problem though, how would you suggest we record the phone call as we are doing the show? We use an external microphone and record it on my laptop using Audacity. To avoid charges to the caller, we would make the call, and though I have free long-distance at my house, Zan dosn't I believe, and that is where we record. Although we do all have cell phones, and that is long-distance free. Would you suggest we just have the cell phone on speakerphone, and see if the microphone picks it up? I would think it would, its a very good microphone, with good sensitivity with according settings. We would obviously try out some tests first, but if you are interested in calling in, just leave a comment anywhere!

I highly suggest using skypephone from skypephone.com. The quality is great and it sounds like they're right there which is kind of the effect you're going for apparently. Yea, I've tried it a couple of times with my friends and it's really nice and even if you can't record through the mic and through "what you hear" at the same time, you can always just have the mic pick up whatever is coming through the speakers. Even that would be better than through telephone.

Okay here is something just for Zan.

Now you went just crazy on the Killzone 2 thing so here is an exclusive for you. You kept on saying how Killzone 2 will be great cause they've learned from past errors. So just for you why don't you explain to us what you would do to redo the game and make it better? What will be take out and added in? What will they do to make it better than the rest? Basically tell us your thoughts on this game. ZAN EXCLUSIVE

Hrmmmm questions...

1. You asked us what kind of music we liked so how about what kind of music YOU like?

2. Excluding DOA4, what is your favorite 360 game, don't bother answering Zan, we already know you dislike the 360, even though frankly, so do I.


3. I seriously think that you guys should get some kind of traffic increasing software, because this thing is great and more people should listen/read it.

4. Back to games, have any of you played Civilization IV for the PC. It is quite possible the greatest strategy game of all-time.

5. I would like to be on the 'cast if it wasn't clear enough on the previous comment. (I don't care if that wasn't a question).
