I would love to be a part of this, but yall know way more then I do! I'd be like a little lost puppy. If I could know 1/4 of the stuff you guys do, I'd be a happy camper

[retroone]

Sign me up! Eastern Time Zone. I am available mostly on weekends but I can chat on any day of the week.

I have my own gaming blog, but it severely lacks content. xD This sounds like it would be fun! I wouldn't mind pitching in. ^.^

Honestly though, I'm not a retro gamer. xD But if that isn't an absolute, I'd be happy to help out. :3 Maybe I could prep some discussion materials to help guide the podcast's theme for the day?

tafk i remember you saying you are from one of the Chicago burbs. how far out are you?

NW burbs, bout an hour.

Ok cool so your not that far out, nice to find other Chicago area  people here.

theFlea is from Rockford. We should have a meet up sometime

Yes we should! At Galloping Ghost?

Im game

[redblaze57]

Eastern time over here anytime after 7 anyday tends to be good for me. I'll send my Google info later

[maximo310]

I could probably do it. I'm usually free mostly on Friday and the weekends, and i'm in the Pacific Time Zone.

[retroone]

We could google hang out the thing and stream it.

You mean like on Twitch? They do have a category for Gaming Podcasts or Talkshows as Twitch calls it.

I'm down for being a special guest! LOL. BTW I'm East coast. One thing you got to be careful of is having too many people on, or even rotating in too many people because it could be hard on the audience if its basically a different show every week.

True, but we also should start with a lot of "interested" and we will slowly lose people.... Like some don't wanna do it often, or suck at it (likley me lol) but its a good start to see who is interested. We will try and talk in a few days to get a feel for our different personalities

just to make this clear im game for Galloping Ghost. no the pod cast. i might listen to it but i aint talking on it because i might hear my own voice and that would end the internet as we know it.

Um... could we maybe get the original post edited with some info once we decide what's happening? There's already about 4 pages on this topic, so I'm already behind lol. 0.o; XD

Topics

1. Pickups from the week/past 2 weeks (if we have alternating crews)
2. A topic of the week
3. What are you playing/old game playthroughs
4. Repairs we have done
5. New releases for old systems (homebrews, Virtual Console, etc)
6. Games that you might own and should play (we all collect games we dont play, you should put these on your list to play next!)

1. What grinds your gears (annoying things games do)
2. Franchises we would like to see release a new game.
3. Game reviews

You can always focus on different areas of gaming besides just the collection side of it all....

I'd propose:

Once a week.
Half hour - 1 hour max
Special guests - game makers, chiptune artists, reviewers, etc. I have the contacts to make this happen.
No more than 3 hosts per episode.
Mention hottest thread topics of the week
Mention upcoming games we are drooling for.
Discuss the eBay situation. What's flooding the bay? What's impossible to find.
Highlight best pickups of the week

Game focus, we can freestyle discuss a game, genre, system or game series.

Stuff like that.

mrnikon has Podcast experience
dashv has a small  vfx studio in his house
fauxshot has a gaming blog

Matt is ok with this happening.  The only thing he wants is some way to clarify that it is not officially linked to VCG.  He recommended naming it something like VCG Community Podcast, so it's clear that it's not the site management in charge of it.

I should note that I'm on Eastern Standard time.

Very nice, thanks for the summary!
