I love the Retronauts podcast, mostly because they focus on a specific game/series/genre every week. Most gaming podcasts just talk about new games and the industry and that is WAY less interesting imo
boyah is one of the best resources for gaming that i've found and i am continually surprised by how much you nerds know about video game and video game niches
but yeah it would be cool if we talked about a specific game or series, maybe once every two weeks to start. there could be consistent people, and there could also be people dropping in and out depending on the topic of interest. i like to focus specifically on niche games/series just because those are most interesting to "hardcore" gamers and they seem to cultivate the most passion
is this something that you guys would be interested in? i mostly think that it would be fun to be on a podcast and i think it could be cool for a group of us to share our unique perspectives on games in real time, instead of just calling eachother faggots over multiple day periods in the general gaming thread.
i know that i've failed at boyah-centered projects in the past (lol prosquid) but i think that this would be a really cool thing to organize, even if we just did it simply with a google sheet for scheduling and skype for recording.
thoughts?
sounds cool but you have to let me talk about toy story for game boy for at least 90 minutes or no deal

and boognish's 'oh god, my ass just prolapsed' has to be the theme song
Kinda interested
down for any game recommendation
also i am not suggesting that i would be the host of the show (although i wouldn't be opposed to it if nobody else was interested), as many of you are way more involved in both boyah and gaming than myself
i would be down to work on format organizing a lot though

as long as we can put it over some chiptune i am down
i've always been interested in sharing my opinions on games, be it through reviews or videos or whatever, so i'm down for this sort of thing.
note that john is here with me so we can actually do it with the two of us together, and i'm pretty sure we both have a lot to say
idk

id be down
do you guys like my idea of having it centered on one game or series per week? if you guys have suggestions for topics and formats feel free to post them and i can edit it to the first post
i do like it being focused like that, yes. also possible: specific genres
i like that too, especially for more specific genres like shmups or something
what about hosting? it is usually good to have one person in charge of steering the conversation but i was thinking that if we came up with a specific format we could have whomever was the most interested in the game "host" and do their best to follow our format
format could be something like
-backstory on game/place in industry when released
-industry reception on game
-more personal thoughts on game
etc lol

sounds like decent plan. Having a fan of a certain series or genre host.
Fire Emblem pls

I would LOVE to talk about RB
We should actually do this. What would be the best night for everyone on a weekly basis? We wouldn't have to have the same people each week either so it isnt a huge commitment
it should either be monthly or biweekly, weekly is too frequent imo
Oh yeah you're right I think I said that in the op lol
Okay suggestions for first podcast? Some game that really embodies Boyah lol
I'd also be open to podcasts that are like "why x game is better than y game that everybody else thinks is better" because that seems to be the Boyah attitude
Also popsi you should make a chip intro before we start
I suggest Rock Band as earlier stated.
or uncharted seems to be a fav. or tlou
Boyah faves were RDR, GTAV, Uncharted 2, and Pokemon X/Y.
boyoh's true fav. is halo

hallo 3 for the Sony Wii

which one though? If you wanna do specific favorites that could be really tough but the series and a general is easy as heck.

I would enjoy doing this podcast a lot. As long as the topic is none of the above, I'm in! I can talk about how Modern Warfare 2 is the best CoD I've played. :)
Most of my experience is with these systems:
NES
SNES
N64
GCN
GBC
GBA
PSX
PS2
Genesis
Dreamcast
I think you and maybe dp would be the only people who know about CoD lol

and me... at least campaign-wise
so if we are gonna do this, are we planning on making this a podcast for general audiences or just kind of for boyagers? also we need some actual organization going here
is it just like a show and tell kind of thing, where boyagers just talk about games they like and why they like them or is it like a panel discussion? where a group of boyagers or whoever talk about a specific game

i think for general audiences but we could start with it being boyah-centerd to get a feel for it
someone should add a poll for the first game/genre that we should do and then we could choose who would be on that podcast from there
poll suggestions?
Rock Band 4
mario kart franchise
specifically how mkds is the best mario kart there is but we could argue about rankings of mk games
would be down for a similar podcast on smash as well lol
also we need chiptune too
obviously we need a separate podcast for competitive melee talk though because i'll be damned if we're going to just fill up an entire cast of smash in general by doing nothing but having strongbad talk about competitive melee
also, how is this even going to be done? obviously almost none of us live anywhere near each other, so...recording skype calls? idk how do people do these lol
you can record skype calls or google hangouts.
we need to do a few different general zelda podcasts, i have a lot to say about that franchise. especially if tec is willing to join, and i really hope he is. cause i can talk with tec about zelda forever.
i'm willing to participate nyandood;
but what's going to be the format of each [glow=black,2,300]cephalo[/glow]podcast
are we going to pick a particular game or set of games and just freely discuss them in general, or will it have a more rigid structure where we select a theme and discuss relevant games within the context of that theme or smth
although i guess there's no reason we couldn't do both
also how "niche" are you thinking
i'm happy to discuss zelda but that would be anything but niche lol
Quote from: udderfailure on March 20, 2015, 07:17:02 PM

like i said before i got you on this
[I] you can tune a piano but you can't tuna chip[/I]
Also, was there a name decided on?

we definitely don't need to be niche, and we definitely also don't need to talk about specific games or genres to begin with. i'd also like to talk about general things like the types of storytelling in games, types of game mechanics, game music, art direction, all sorts of various things that "make" games into what they are
