Chris Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 A few months ago in an MSN convo with a few other webmasters (and individually thereafter) it was suggested (as a joke or otherwise) that it would be a cool idea if some of the GTA webmasters got together and created a podcast for you, the community, to download. Now I don't know how many of us would definitely do it, but there were 5 webmasters from the most popular GTA sites who were in that convo, I believe there would be at least 2 or 3 that would be willing to do it. It hasn't really been discussed in detail, and has only cropped up in conversation a handful of times. It would be a first for probably any fansite or group of fansites for any videogame. The podcasts would most likely have us talking about the week's news, mods, maybe having 'guests' talk about the game etc. What I'm wondering is what are your initial reactions and thoughts to this, and whether you think it would be a good idea or a bad idea. If you think it's a good idea and have any thoughts on what we could talk about the please post them here too, it will help us reach a decision.

Wheelman101 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 it sounds like a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I suggested it years ago, but I don't think now would be a good time to do it. Wait a few months - E4AE may be a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Obviously. There is no news yet to talk about. Also wtf. "I suggested it years ago" - So you want credit or something? I don't recall ever hearing this suggestion, and podcasting wasn't even that popular years ago, only last year did it take off. STFU G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9 Krew Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Well I think it's a great idea and i think there will be tons of people that would download them. So yeah i think it's a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Good idea, I say go through with it when GTA4 info starts popping in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9 Krew Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Good idea, I say go through with it when GTA4 info starts popping in. Yeah good idea chris82 you could use it as a GTA4 live update sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Corridon started a GTAWH weekly podcast with the ability to submit recordings, questions, a guess the game section each week, etc. It was fun, and I followed it a few weeks. Then I forgot about it....... o.o Anyways, my point is, I'll atleast listen to it when it starts. I can't say it won't entirely slip my mind, but I'll listen at first.

Chris Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Raise your hand if you would be willing to submit a recording, hopefully you have a decent mic and audio recording app... (don't raise your hands actually, I won't see them, just post here instead) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I could possibly submit something..... If I absolutely had to.... >.> I don't like talking much. But if other people actually wanted, for some odd reason, to hear tehz Spaz The Great speak about something, I guess I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Ha, me too, I hate talking. It seems I become less and less anonymous everyday now But if we all [webmasters] do it then I guess it won't be so bad. Imagine the hilarious mix of accents in the lineup: Me - English - not a distinct accent though I allegedly sound camp and/or posh to some people (I'm neither ) Neil - Scottish Adriaan - South African adamcs - Scottish? Jordan - deep big American footballer style Not sure what other webmasters were interested, that's all I can remember from who was in the convo.

Ciaran Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) I would hate to talk, plus to have it on the internet! I think that you should do it, I would download it. Edited January 8, 2007 by ŠHẩĐõŴ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvi Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 It depends on entirely how well its put together, obviously no one wants to particularly hear info they already know in more detail from news sites, so rather than essentially a badly read version of the latest GTA news, it could be done succesfully as a talk show highlighting different views on recent events and speculating based on (what we hope is) extensive knowledge. Just don't make it sound too corny or you'll lose all appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Jordan's voice really isn't that deep/intimidating like a footballer's, per se. In fact watch this movie he shot at a 2004 Halo 2 launch event and listen to him interview people...
