Topic: Gaming Steves' (A Gaming Steve Forum Podcast Project)

[eropS]

Hey guys,

We should do a podcast. We have great cast between us, enough that we could probably herd 4-5 people together at a scheduled time. Enough so that not everyone would have to participate every week if they don't want to, but not so many that it would be unruly if they did.

Idk, I like talking about games, I think you all do to or you wouldn't stick around at this point. It seems like this site gets views from somebody so maybe they'd listen to us and tell others to since we have such fun **** to say

I think we all have fun stuff to say about them, and I think a live-discussion each week would be something worth exploring. We could aim for a 45-1 hour show, talk about games and whatever else comes up as most formats seem to allow.


Let me know if there's any interest in this, maybe we could even ask Steve to route us as a related channel to help with initial listener count


I'd be down, Monday and Tuesday afternoons PST are best for me; we could wrangle up a skype or discord chat and record it like ThreeMovesAhead does.

We can do this I think, and I believe even have some minor amount of success in garnering a few listeners. It'd be worth my time just to chit chat with ya'll weekly about what we're playing, what we're looking forward to, what we think of current games/new games/games news that pops up

[Slinky]

I'm actually totally down for this. Would the podcast be about current stuff in the industry or about just whatever topics we feel like for that time?

[eropS]

I'd think we'd dabble in both? Probably have segments to start and if we take too much time going over one or the other maybe focus or split types of discussions, but to start I think loosey goosey to drive some conversation would be good

[Slinky]

I'm not really up to date with current gaming culture nor am I interested in it, so I guess I'm more casual? So that could be the kind of thing I talk about if that matters/is interesting. Anyway I'm down to try this but I don't have a good mic really, just average.

Loosey goosey sounds cool but maybe we should set up some a simple outline of discussion topics or rough segments? Cause "a couple of white guys shooting the **** about videogames for an hour" has been done a lot Like for instance we could pick a certain series or recent event to discuss or something like that, then maybe some other bit where we discuss something upcoming. That kind of thing 

[Krakow Sam]

I'd be up for just shotting the **** about videogames (which I don't play) and it potentially being recorded. Sounds like a loff.

Also why not just do the same thing everyone has already done? Not like there'd be high expectations about people outside the forum listening to it, surely? :Y

[Pixxel]

Sounds interesting, I would be down for that.

Only thing is, I would need to know about the topics ahead of time or else I would probably end up not being able to say much.

[Celdur]

Sure, I enjoy getting in discord and talking about dumb **** anyway.
Not sure who would want to listen to that **** but it'll be fun either way.

[Oviraptor]

At the very least, this could just be a fun conversation we have regularly.

[Slinky]

That's a totally good point! Nothing wrong with keeping it casual.

Also I'm down to do the editing if yall wanna send the recording to me. Like just to add some lil opening music or something like that.

[Rysworld]

I'd be down too.

[eropS]

Ah, good, I didn't want to edit glad someone has already volunteered!

I think we can do a news/what we've been up to/on the horizon discussion topics to start, topics being based on those things yeah?

How does next Tuesday 5/16 around 1-2pst work for you guys?

[Slinky]

Works for me, definitely.

EDIT: There are a lot of gaming news sources already, though, with more sources than we have. Should we still just do regular old news?

[Rysworld]

Sounds good.

We can do... I dunno, move from one to the other? Have a game news segment and a news news segment. If you want.

[eropS]

I mean were not breaking stories, we can just sort of do punditry on things we thought were interesting that were going on gaming wise

[Slinky]

What do you guys think of a short bit where we bring up/discuss some game that's overlooked and is either good, or at least interesting? I know a lot of games that I really like that aren't considered classics but are worth taking a look at.

So like, the outline could be something like this...?

• intro
• what stuff in the videogaming mediasphere is happening and what do we think about it
• something we've been playing lately
• some things we're interested to check out?
• predictions/discussions about upcoming events/releases
• a hidden gem
• outro

What do you guys think of that? Nothing concrete, just kind of throwing together ideas.
