What does your voice sound like

[Bahamut]

Doing voicework for Spleen got me thinking about stuff. Then at about 2200 last night it hit me. VGDJ needs to come back. I thought what better way to bring it back than a video podcast in Japan. I just need to know (probably from Zircon or Pixietricks) how they set thiers up (through iTunes and stuff). I figured this would be a better way to spend my freetime (instead of writting review for games that I hate).

What does the general OCR public think? Is this an idea with merit, or is this idea gonna fail harder than a pigeon flying through a closed window?

zircon and pixie don't want the podcast to continue without them. If there's another podcast for OCR, it'll have to be called something else.

[Bleck]

I dunno, last I heard nobody else was allowed to do it unless they were in the clubhouse.

[Dhsu]

zircon and pixie don't want the podcast to continue without them. If there's another podcast for OCR, it'll have to be called something else.
I still don't think they have a right to make such a decision.

However, you'd probably have to ask djp if he's okay with this (he's probably not). Being the official OCR podcast, VGDJ has a pretty specific format associated with it, and changing it to a video podcast of some random white guy in Japan is not something to be done lightly. So even if you do get the green light, in this case, yes, you would most likely be asked to change the name to something else, as at that point the show would probably bear little to no resemblance to the original concept or execution of VGDJ.

That said, nobody will stop you from producing your own independent, unofficial OCR-related podcast. In fact, I'll definitely watch it if you do. :) Be sure to release on YouTube as well...it will provide you additional exposure, and I don't know about other people, but personally having a downloadable version would provide no benefit to me, since I don't have a portable video player. In fact, I'd have to question the decision to use video as the format in the first place...unless you just have a hilarious personality or something, I don't see it adding a whole lot of value to a show based mostly on talking and music, and the whole appeal of podcasts is that you can do other stuff while listening like driving or washing your dishes.

Anyway, if you need help setting up a podcast and/or tips about podcasting in general, Rayza and Aurora would probably be able to help you out as well.

[Arek the Absolute]

because aurora and rayza gave them exclusive rights to the show after they left it right?


Sorry, but seriously, that is just dumb.

[Bleck]

As for info on setting up a podcast, Rayza and Aurora would probably be able to give you some tips on that as well.

They had a pretty awesome one in the past but I can't remember what it was called :<

[Monobrow]

because aurora and rayza gave them exclusive rights to the show after they left it right?


Sorry, but seriously, that is just dumb.

No, Aurora said this:

I don't find this acceptable at all. I understand the ownership you feel over the podcast now, the efforts and hard work you've put into the show, but the point of VGDJ was to evolve, just as the community does, and the hard work would lay to waste if it were to die now. It was not meant to create stars, it was not meant to be owned. It was meant as a community service, and as a promotion of the video game music appreciation movement.

Though it was my own and Rayza's idea to start something of this nature, it was always in our plan for the show to be passed on, and not have ownership. It was definitely hard to let the show go, but that was not the point... it was never about me, or Rayza. It was about the community. Hence us delegating tasks to people within the community, and hence the current hosts that VGDJ now has.


If Pixie doesn't feel that anyone else is good enough to host the show with her other than Zircon, then those who are willing and able to pick up where Zircon and Pixie left off, should, just as Rayza and I passed on the show when we could no longer take it on. I honestly believe that it is not in Zircon's or Pixie's place to decide what the future (or lack thereof) of VGDJ will be. I understand that you (pixie and zircon) are upset about not being able to carry on with it, but that shouldn't stop anyone else from doing so.

Please do not take this as an attack. We (all vgdj enthusiasts) are grateful for your service and how you've brought VGDJ to a whole new level since you've taken over. You've created a show people look forward to downloading, you've helped bring a community together. There is no reason why this ideal should die now. Take your accomplishments and let others be of service to OCR and to the VGDJ listeners.

I hope you seriously consider this recommendation.

[Skrypnyk]

OCR already has a fully running podcast.

It's called the saucecast. (http://thasauce.net/modules.php?name=NewsTwo&file=article&sid=730)

or what I like to call, the lolcast.

[The wingless]

barring the rather ludicrous idea that somebody has ownership *rights* to VGDJ, are you aware of the rather alarming amount of work that goes into making a single episode?

Sometimes me and pixie stayed up until bullshit o'clock to make a single episode, and that was with the wherewithall of *two* people.

Just... think carefully about the scope of what you're asking. It might need to be retooled for a single-man outing.

[Arek the Absolute]

I am glad to see another former host of VGDJ stand up and say that it is ridiculous to give ownership to just those two.

If he wishes to host the show, then let him. In the end, it is up to DJP and his stamp of approval for it to see light, so why not let him give it a shot and see how it goes? I would rather boost him than shoot him down before even hearing what he has to show.

[Gollgagh]

I would support this.

By support I mean I would download and follow it.

I don't really have anything else constructive to add to the thread.

[DrumUltimA]

i'd like to see it come back :)

[Azul v2]

Definitely get one (or two) other people who are interested in radio (maybe even communication electronic media majors) to help you out. I can't speak for zicontricks, but I'm sure that everyone would want the same amount of quality put in each episode that has been in the past. I also agree that VGDJ belongs to the community and should be managed by the community.

[The wingless]

But don't let Larry Oji touch it! That man is radio bukakke!

Hey I like this.

The world (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01654/) may never know. (http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01602/)

[Arek the Absolute]

Why do you have to be the court jester anyway? What have you done for the community, or tried to do?

I am curious as to why you are taking offense to his suggestion. He provided an alternative in a joking way for people to listen to while vgdj is down.

Sup with the hate?

[Monobrow]

He also is a good arch-nemesis to some.

[Dyne]

My comment wasn't toward the thread writer. It was toward Skryp, but I'm retracting it, instead of being a complete asshat.

[Brushfire]

So I garner the general consensus is that no I cannot revive VGDJ. I can however make an unofficial OCR podcast, but still need permission from the Boss.

Also my voice has a rather deep and a sort of dopey sound to it. Generally pleasent to the ear. ^__^

[Dhsu]

If it's unofficial you don't need no permission from no one, as long as you follow the content policy (http://www.ocremix.org/info/Content_Policy).

[Arek the Absolute]

Um, I was under the impression that the general consensus was for you to try it out and see how it goes...

[Dyne]

Um, I was under the impression that the general consensus was for you to try it out and see how it goes...

Agreed, I'm going to do a podcast of my own, but it'll be all-inclusive. Primarily about the community, but also doing some reporting on upcoming games, events, meet-ups, etc... I say go for it, message DJP, zircon and pixietricks, and get some feed back. If you want to find out more about what it's like to make a podcast, I suggest looking up Rayza at the very least, and asking him about it.

And yes, if you feature remixes from OCR, definitely read up on the content policy.

[Arek the Absolute]

Due to the controversy over this whole situation, I do not think that messaging Zircon or Pixietricks would be the best idea. Asking neutral party's opinions would be best since they do not have a bias one way or another.

[Dyne]

Eh, you've got a point there.

[Brushfire]

Even if I can produce without permission, I would prefer to get the go ahead from DJP.

My ideas for the show are to have a segment for ReMixes, a segment for video games reviews, a segment for up and coming games, and then a random thought corner. I have all the equipment nessicary to record everything, and the software to edit it. The only things I lack are the go ahead from Boss-Man and a place to host it (though I might get my buddy over at Epicgaming.us to host it for me).

[Bahamut]

No, Aurora said this:

I don't find her explanation acceptable after I saw pixie's response, that they did very little to help her when she took the reigns of the podcast.

[Arek the Absolute]

Regardless of who said what, VGDJ was intended to be a public thing, and I am certain that most would love to see it's revival.

Controversy aside, let's get it goin again like good OLD times.

[Global-Trance]

Jesus Christ, you guys.

[The Coop]

Read the content policy, and come up with a catchy/goofy name or acronym of your own. When you're ready, make a new thread announcing the new podcast, and then you'll be good to go. No "ownership" drama, no "permission" needs, no "OCR representation quality" arguments (which I'm sure will come up with the VGDJ name), no nothing. Just you, some mixes, and a little chit-chat scattered in-between for however long you feel like doing it.

That's my advice.

[Dhsu]

No "ownership" drama
The fact this even exists is just sad.

[OverCoat]

It's a podcast, guys.

Also, once again, I urge someone to do a live radio show on Sunday night instead :3

hell, I'll do it if I have to. I just need to get some things first.

[Brushfire]

I was thinking of doing a live video cast but that would be waaaaaaay to difficult. I would like to do one though. If I could figure out how to pull it off, I'd probably do it when the Tokyo Game Show came around.

[Kanthos]

i'd like to see it come back :)

More meetup report and meetup report themesong :D

[Brushfire]

That is it then. I will do a pilot for an unofficial OCR podcast and see what folks think.

Gimme two weeks.

[zircon]

Just wanted to post briefly to mention that Jill is down in Baltimore right now for graduation (and has no internet) so this comes up at an inopportune time, since she can't weigh in. But I can say that not wanting to give over "ownership" is not really what our views were (or are.) I think if someone is truly interested in running a new podcast they should go ahead and record a pilot episode, then sending it to us to check it out would be a good place to start. I believe Jill put that out there last time this discussion came up too, but no one ended up sending anything.

Honestly though, I think this is not even really the main issue at hand. As Wingless pointed out, doing a podcast is an immense ammount of work. Even when things go smoothly and there are no technical problems, doing a weekly show requires a lot of prep, post-production, and motivation. It's great that people like the idea of an official podcast and want to jump right in, but (and no offense to ThaSauce) I don't think it would be doing the community any favors to revive VGDJ only to have it die shortly after because the host(s) lose interest after they realize how hard it is to maintain.

So, y'all just calm down for a bit - to reiterate if anyone is interested, AND realizes the big commitment, they should focus on creating a test episode and sending it over. I would recommend not posting it in public to avoid any conflicts with other people interested (there really isn't any need for drama.) And of course, unofficial podcasts have always been encouraged... the less work for the site staff right now, the better, considering the panel is really behind at the moment because of nearly all the judges running into big patches of IRL. That's our main concern at the moment.

[Dyne]

but (and no offense to ThaSauce)
None taken.

It is a phenomenal amount of work, and does require a lot of motivation. And if you're in a team environment, it requires team work. But believe it or not, zircon is right in that it's most definitely a time consuming process.

[The Author]

The best idea is to make a pilot.

One, you'll see how much work it is.

Two, we'll see what you have to give.

Three, I like the number three.

It's not a bad idea to try and revive it, and I feel that anyone telling you not to try would not be doing this in the interest of the community. However, should it not be to the standards of quality established previously, be prepared to not have your "pilot" picked up.

[The wingless]

In an effort to keep the inexplicable drama going

Zircon, when you hosted VGDJ, I could hear your fucking Sasquatchian arms rubbing together and it sounded like velcro, you goddamn Yeti! You Harry and the Hendersons! SHAVE YO' GODDAMN ARMS!

Five, PROFIT!!!

[zircon]

RD, just as an addendum, I wouldn't expect that anyone would immediately have something as polished as VGDJ where we left it. That's not the standard we would use then, to be fair. After all we had plenty of episodes to practice and hone our skills, not only in presentation of content but in editing, delivery, writeups, site maintenance, etc. But certain core qualities would have to be there, such as motivation and a sense of responsibility (again so that the show doesn't just stop after a few weeks), community involvement, a format that generally "works", etc.

In consideration of that last point, I'm curious but slightly skeptical of a single-person show: even on VG Frequency, a big part of the fun was that Larry regularly had call-ins and live conversations. Some kind of interpersonal dynamic is, IMO, an important component in engaging listeners or viewers in almost any format.

I know right off the bat that I will not be able to do a weekly podcast. But there lies one of the big things that kinda didn't work about VGDJ (No offense is ment to anyone involved), but there were weeks when the site hadn't updated and there would be no mixes to review.

Not a big deal, but if you want to promote a site, you would probably want fresh material each episode. That being said, if this does take off, a new show will appear every two weeks.

As far as the time commitment is concerned, I don't have class, and I can write the script at work, so I don't see much of a problem there.

As for the live conversation and audience interaction, that will be a bit tricky seeing as I live in Japan and international direct dial rates are crazy high. Plus the 14+ hour time difference. Also I can't answer people's questions that would be emailed to be about the site unless I was giving consent to do so (I'd probably have to run a disclaimer stating that my views and opinions are strictly mine).

I am putting a lot of thought into this.

Also what are your thoughts on profanity, if any. I know that sounds kinda silly, but I don't want people knocking on my door because I said unpleasant words. I don't recall any swearing in VGDJ but I just want to know before I start my first draft script.

[zircon]

I appreciate that you're putting a lot of thought into this, Brushfire. Jill and I actually agree that a weekly show in many ways is not ideal, looking back, because it's not only more of a drain but as you said, sometimes there's just nothing to really talk about. To answer your question at the bottom, there was limited swearing on VGDJ. I'd say it was about PG-13 level.

[Dhsu]

Not to mention the minute you drop the f-bomb, people start making dance remixes of it. :D

[sephfire]

PixieMix (http://www.sephfire.com/music/pixiemix.mp3) stands as one of my proudest achievements. :<

This is key. I'd say one of my favorite parts about the old VGDJ was hearing interviews with the remixers about their latest releases and such. It really strengthens the community-centric feel of the show.

I'd enjoy seeing VGDJ resurface someday.

[Kanthos]

Even more than the interaction with guests, it takes a very strong presenter to work solo, in my opinion. Much is added by having a second person, even if that second person is less dominant (think zircon's first few episodes of VGDJ). There's a dynamic that can't be captured by one person.

Oh Wingless, you continuously keep me checking the forums to see your witty antics.

I ... I love you.

[zircon]

Wingless, when we meet, I shall strike you a blow that will shake the very cosmos.

An addendum that I meant to write about earlier but didn't have time to; Jill and I are interested in actually doing some periodic special features again, like we did with VGDJ. OCR as of late has been more and more involved with stuff like VGL as well as composer interviews, and thanks to thinks like HD Remix we're becoming more and more respected as a community. One of the most fun parts about VGDJ for us was being able to do those special features, like reporting from Otakon, for example. Jill has been so busy with school that it hasn't really been realistic to continue doing that, and I've been pretty busy as well, but we think it would be cool to pick it up again now that she's done and has significantly more free time.

This doesn't affect what I posted earlier, of course, that we're interested in seeing a pilot from people interested in doing a more regular show.. after all special features might only come up once in awhile.

Don't I own you and 1/8 of Molto?

...like reporting from Otakon...

I am planning on taking The OCR Variety Show (working title) to the Tokyo Game Show in October. As for the second person, I've lined up the opinionated owner of the console modding site Epicgaming.us (a site I regularly contribute too as well). He agreed to help me host and film. I also have my friend CJ (whom just learned of OCR from me) and wants to be a part of this too. Things seem to be coming together nicely.

[Rayza]

Aurora and I mention the podcast in this podcast..

For the opening of the podcast, I want to have a sorta montage of folks who frequent OCR doing game related stuff. If anyone wants to film themselves and send me a clip I will try to get them on the opening for the pilot.

Why not talk to anyone who filmed MAGFest? I'm sure that there's someone out there that wouldn't mind sharing footage. You could also plug MAGFest VII in the podcast.

[Brushfire]

OK! I haven't touched this little project of mine in some time but here goes an update.

As of 09 December we have:

Film editing software
An HD Video Camera
A "set"
A basic outline for episode flow
A co-host for counterpoints and whatnot
A place to host the video file

When the pilot airs (shooting for January 2nd), I will see if the big wigs here at OCR (Mr. Lloyd and any of the others of the main staff) to approve of this as the official podcast. If they dissapprove, the podcast will more than likely remain an underground thing I do whenever I can. If I do get the go ahead, however, I will make it a bi-weekly show with a new episode coming out every Friday evening or Saturday morning.

As far as hosting for the first episode, if it is a small enough episode, it will be hosted on youtube, but if I cannot get the file to a small enough size, I will host it on Epicgaming.us for the time being.

I do hope the final product is something everyone can be proud of. I will post more updates as they come.

Thanks guys.

I'm not trying to undermine any of the former hosts of VGDJ with this project, that is why out of respect to the artists who actually made music for this site and worked on VGDJ, I won't be using the name of the former podcast. I will figure out a different title for the time being.

[The wingless]

Well.... that... that certainly had little to do with either Zircon, myself, or the Panzer Truck incident, but I like the deplume with which you handled the situation.

Seriously. I'm done with school, now. There's no reason for me to NOT be doing this. New episode by Friday.

Zircon, smiting, and a panzer truck.

That is a tale that needs telling.

Wingless refers to the infamous stinger for episode 032 (http://soundtempest.net/jill/stinger032.mp3). (I think the only reason Andy would smite him is for the first 5 seconds. The rest is just ridiculous.)

Then we should do joint pieces, just like the old days!!??

Thanks for reminding me of how much I miss VGDJ.

[The wingless]

4 hours recording for a barely 1 hour show. Ohhhhh how I miss those days ;)

I don't foresee any problems with time schedules, due to I have every other weekend off for three days. Panama shifts rule!!

[Bleck]

holy fuck Brushfire is the perfect guy to do this

[Kizyr]

4 hours recording for a barely 1 hour show. Ohhhhh how I miss those days ;)
Plus the several hours more of editing!

I miss those days too, and I wasn't even around then.

...kind of sucks, too, considering that there were 2 or 3 meetups during then that occurred right on my campus while I was at college. KF

[Brushfire]

Yeah editing is gonna be the biggest time consumer. The way it looks I may move broadcast day to Sunday or Monday, film on Friday, and edit on Saturday. wouldn't be too bad considering that my friend CJ will be doing the actual editing part (I'm not too good with Premiere), and I will prolly just end up directing.

[SoulinEther]

Well.... that... that certainly had little to do with either Zircon, myself, or the Panzer Truck incident, but I like the deplume with which you handled the situation.

Uhm, not to go off topic, but isn't deplume a verb? And if we're talking about French, what does a pen have to do with any of this :/

Hum. Did I just summon the Panzer tank upon myself?

[Darklink42]

I think he might have been shooting for aplomb, but that's just a guess.

I think VGDJ should come back to Canada :P XD

Will Japan do? It might be England next, or Hawaii. I still haven't gotten my new assignment yet.

[RepressedChaos]

it started in Canada so why not have it come back to its roots

[Brushfire]

Podcast will be up Monday. If there is something you would like to contribute to it's assuredly overwhelming success, lemme know. We are projecting about an hour of airtime and can't just have our antics alone.

Schedule is as follows:

Friday is for filming.
Saturday for editing.
Sunday for uploading.
Monday for reveal and wrap party at my house. Good luck with that plane ticket.

My vision is to have this be a total community involvement as this a podcast for everyone. Plus I need some Magfest stuff.

See you on Monday.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

it started in Canada so why not have it come back to its roots

I completely agree eh? Keep it like the true north strong and free.

Miss you VGDJ.

[Brushfire]

Well, if I get stationed in Canada, you will have your wish. Till then, you will hafta settle for Japan.

Hey isn't that what Zangief did to train?

On a more on topic note, episode .5, Dead Air, is shot and ready for editing and what not.

Sexy. I can't wait to dl it and slap it on my BB.

[Brushfire]

So this afternoon I had an unscheduled power outage while finalizing the first episode, and ALL of my video files for the episode were either deleted or corrupted. SO cast will be delayed a few days while I reshoot and remake the entire thing.

Why didn't I just copy from my camera as opposed to moving the files.

More news as it comes.

And since I have to reshoot, I will include the two newest mixes as they came out about an hour after I finished shooting. I'll blame that on the judges.

[Dhsu]

Wow, that's kinda balls. :(

[Brushfire]

Yup all kinda balls. I blame my cat for stepping on my power strip under my desk.

Sigh. Now I gotta film when I am on my lunch breaks.

[anosou]

Looking forward to this, be sure to mention.. well, me! :tomatoface:

*thread subscribed*

[Brushfire]

I will mention you then. Make sure to listen for it, for it will be epic.

[Brushfire]

OK, I am writing the script for Pilot #1 of...

POCRCast!!

That is the Podcast for Overclocked Remix podCast!! Redundant yes, not as elegant as VGDJ, yes, but it took months of procrastination to come up with. When the script is finished I will send it to the judges panel, and they can edit out anything they don't or deem "inappropriate." I will be keeping this a PG Podcast, so swearing will be kept to a minimum for the kids.

Here is the flow for each episode. It will follow a format of intro, highlights from the two weeks, new songs, OCRtist(TM) Spotlight, Outside the Game Box, Game Reviews (usually one per week), and outro.

If there aren't any more questions, that is all I got for now. I am shooting for a Sunday Afternoon/Saturday Night for ya'll release date.

[Brushfire]

OK! This time I have no destractions, no moving, and no cohosts!!

I have made a few changes to the format I purposed back in April. The biggest change in it is the involvement of the OCRtists that are featured on the cast. I am asking them to provide soundbites, giving listeners a better understanding of how the track they are about to listen to came into exsistance. I am going to ask the evaluators to do the same thing in regards to what they said when the track was posted. I feel that this will let the listener here the decision straight from the horses mouth as it were.

Another change that isn't as big, but could be considered, is that Zirc said he is fine with me carrying on the VGDJ name. After I can get confirmation from the previous hosts as well, I will carry the torch.

As for the rest of it, the format will remain unchanged, in a hopes that the success that VGDJ had almost 3 years ago will live on.

I am shooting for episode 1 to be finished Sunday night and up on Monday. I am still working out the kinks for an RSS feed, but at the very least you will be able to hear something.

[Ferret]

OCRcast?

Well, good luck, and you'd better sacrifice a router to the internet gods just to be safe. A Netgear should be enough to appease them.

[Darklink42]

Look forward to hearing it when it gets off the ground. I'll send some prayers to the internet gods as well.

[EdgeCrusher]

I normally hate podcasts with a passion, but if Brush is doing it, I'd so listen to it. As long as he does the Soldier voice.....

[Brushfire]

OK after fighting with Soundbooth for a while, I have gotten the majority of episode 1 down. I am taking a break now and will finish it up tomorrow, and everyone will be happy. For the first few weeks, the cast will not have an RSS feed. I will be working on that this weekend, though I am hopeful I can have it up and running by the end of the week, that way folks can get it via iTunes.

I will post again when it is finished tomorrow. So stay tuned.

[halc]

keep your cat away from your computer

[atmuh]

do you have that thing i recorded for you like 7 months ago rofl
no one would get it but that would be kinda funny

ANYWAY! It is almost done. There are some bugs with this one to look out for, but these problems should be tied to this pilot episode, and not make an appearence after this podcast.

Set to be out tonight at 2100 (9 PM EDT).

Stay Tuned.

[Nekofrog]

Huzzah!

Congrats to you, and to my babes.

[Liontamer]

Don't renumber the series, IMO. It has a history and hosting changes haven't meant renumbering the shows. Looking forward to hearing what you got!

[Brushfire]

Actually that is a good call Larry.

My bad.

TO ALL READING, THE NAME IS STILL TENTATIVE.

[zircon]

I'm really excited for this podcast and I hope Brush continues it! Especially now that VGFrequency is more or less out of the picture too, the community could use something like this.

On a quick aside, Brush did misunderstand me (or maybe I miscommunicated, I've been kinda overwhelmed with post-honeymoon stuff) about the name of the podcast; my suggestion was that he change it from VGDJ to something else. A few reasons; one is that this is a completely different format, it's a solo host, and it has video. So, it makes sense to set it apart on that level. But also, it's really *Brush* behind this. None of the VGDJ folks had anything to do with it and so I think he deserves a fresh title, since this is really a from-scratch effort. Lastly - and this is just on a logistics level - it would be better to have a new website w/ a new name as opposed to the old site, which at this point is really outdated with a massive gap in updates, not to mention that again the format is completely changing so there's really not any continuity per se like there was with the old VGDJ host changes. (Additionally, we haven't been able to access the old vgdj.net site for years... it might be uneditable.)

Only question that remains is really what the new name should be! My vote is for something like "OCRCast", but somewhat less bland.

[KyleJCrb]

I'm really excited for this podcast and I hope Brush continues it! Especially now that VGFrequency is more or less out of the picture too, the community could use something like this.

*ahem* (http://www.kngi.org/)

Although Larry and I need to get back on it.

I'm looking forward to checking out what you put together, Brush!

[zircon]

Haha, touché, Kyle. NGI is good times, of course, but like VGF and VGDJ when they ran concurrently, one focused on the broader community and one was more OCR-specific. I think that kind of coverage is good. When you throw in ThaSauce Radio, we've got a good variety of entertainment (IMO.)

[Nekofrog]

I vote keep the VGDJ name if there are no plans by its original creators to continue it.

Why not?

[Arek the Absolute]

I also think it should keep the name. It did when it originally shifted hosts, so why shouldn't it now?

[Brushfire]

The only problem is that I accidentally numbered this #1.

If I keep the same name, the numbering is all messed up. So I'd have to bleep all mentions of Episode one, after the next episode comes out.

I will figure something out.

[zircon]

Guys - Using a different name than VGDJ makes a lot more sense for a bunch of reasons. Brush and I talked about it over PM and he agrees. The first is pure logistics. We don't have any access to the old site (VGDJ.net) and the blogger connection is completely severed. So, he would have to create a whole new website for a videocast of the same name. Huh? That would be confusing.

Also, it really is a completely different show unrelated to VGDJ. Different format, different host (single as opposed to two), video instead of just audio (so it's not even a podcast, technically)... so that's a second good reason. Another reason is that this is BRUSHFIRE's show. Jill and I ran VGDJ using the same format (with some tweaks) created by hosts before us. But Brush is doing this all himself, from scratch. We don't take any credit for that, and I think he deserves his own name.

I know Brush has been working hard on this thing for weeks, if not months. Can we focus on his videocast, not the name? :P

[djpretzel]

Focus is of course on content, but FYI the website account was transferred to me, and I think I have the domain too, so that's not an issue.

I don't know how much the format will deviate, and I agree the name's not the most important thing in the world, but let's keep it on the table unless there's a compelling reason to remove it, right?

[Liontamer]

My bad, I thought the format would be similar, and the idea was pitched way back when as reviving VGDJ. I'm a busy man, don't hurt. :lol:

[Brushfire]

I am having some technical difficulties at the moment. Please bear with me as I sort it out.

I swear to God it's done, just hang on.

[Jillian Aversa]

Okay, what the hell? We've been saying this all along; YOU CAN'T USE THE VGDJ NAME!

MY vote is that we have a MUTINY against brushfire. I'm typing this from my phone. In fact, we're on the way to his house right now to beat him up. Ugh.

[Nekofrog]

I still don't believe your tantrum on #ocr is real, it's too cartoon villain-ish. :P

[Bahamut]

I still don't believe your tantrum on #ocr is real, it's too cartoon villain-ish. :P

You haven't seen her get angry then :-( .

Brush...you really gotta take the name VGDJ? This is unnecessary drama!

[OA]

I for one will NEVER listen to this if it is called VGDJ and doesn't have Pixie and Zircon! They were the originals!!

I shall be boycotting this product.

[Jillian Aversa]

Damn straight. (Although technically we weren't, but that's okay...)

[Brushfire]

So ignoring the fact that the former hosts have thier panties in a knot. Here it is.

Episode 1 of VGDJ.

I put a lot of time and effort into this and I really feel it isn't fair to me to take it down before it is up.

SO!!

Without further adieu:

Episode 1.

Back on topic; Brush has the best voice for radio/talkshows/etc. Good job, man. Keep it up and I hope you make it to episode #2012.

Giving it a listen now: Very good presentation and so far, interesting, informative, and entertaining. I approve.

Awesome episode brushfire, entertaining stuff.

[Abadoss]

Uh... isn't it supposed to be a videocast? Maybe I missed something...

Yay, ocr radio!

This is well put together, and I like the amount of guest clips. I think the only thing I miss from the old version was that had two hosts = whimsical banter.

I like Sonic 2 better.

Seriously? If it's the barrel "trap", then that was ridiculously easy to figure out, even when I was 12. Just jump on the barrel to get it moving, then hold the d-pad in the direction that the barrel is traveling until it reaches the peak of its travel, and then press it in the opposite direction. Repeat until you get the barrel low enough to jump off. It's kind of like an increasing pendulum effect.

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qO1GJgYIDs&feature=related

[Abadoss]

It took me a little while to figure it out. At first, I thought it was proportional to the amount of downward force created by jumping. It wasn't until I finally realized that Sega wasn't going to bother with a realistic physics engine at that particular stage of game development that I did the up/down thing and got past that stupid barrier. I hated having to wait for the time to run out, since there was no way to kill yourself. At least, not unless you knew the trick the barrier in the first place.

[WillRock]

Seriously? If it's the barrel "trap", then that was ridiculously easy to figure out, even when I was 12. Just jump on the barrel to get it moving, then hold the d-pad in the direction that the barrel is traveling until it reaches the peak of its travel, and then press it in the opposite direction. Repeat until you get the barrel low enough to jump off. It's kind of like an increasing pendulum effect.


Easy to figure out? I had a HUGE amount of trouble at it and I know I lot of others that did as well... I thought it was a level design flaw at first.

[PROTO·DOME]

Easy to figure out? I had a HUGE amount of trouble at it and I know I lot of others that did as well... I thought it was a level design flaw at first.

EXACTLY. God, I was stuck at that bit- just waiting for the time to run out...

[DrumUltimA]

OKAY that barrel was NOT easy to figure out. I never did figure it out as a kid, and my parents eventually got me a game genie so I'd stop throwing temper tantrums. It wasn't until high school I found out how to get by that.

edit: emphasis on FOUND OUT. I was never able to figure it out on my own.

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qO1GJgYIDs&feature=related

Ridiculously easy? Are you nuts? There had never been a puzzle of that type in any Sonic game EVER, and to throw one in there randomly was just plain stupid. I have not known a single person who has ever been able to figure it out, and I grew up never getting past that stage because of that stupid thing.

[jmr]

I don't remember ever having that many problems with it. Granted, I probably got a few time-overs back when I first played it, but I'm pretty sure I figured it out myself. I didn't have internet access until YEARS later (I was 6 when I first played the game!), and I never had any magazines or guide books...

[anosou]

And thanks for that sound bite Anso.

I honestly loved the episode. Your impression of me is impeccable, I salute you. But yeah, MOAR EPISODES NAOW.

Guess you missed the stinger? ^_~ Sorry for all the drama-hype, guys. It was, indeed, a joke that has been in the works for a while now. Long story short:

VGDJ *is* coming back, and it is going to be tri-hosted, with brushfire on board!

The original idea was to do a videocast, but after a time brush realized that he wouldn't be able to keep that up on his own. Still, Andy and I saw/heard how enthusiastic he was about the show (and what a good radio personality he has)... so we discussed it all together, and came upon the realization that with three hosts, the work is a lot more manageable. Combined with the fact that the two of us now have school and wedding behind us, the timing is finally right.

Naturally, with three hosts, there are going to be a few changes to the show format... but good ones - you'll see! (And yes, no more Podcast Alley voting. Nobody cares about that anymore. ^-^)

[JH Sounds]

Heh, my "Wanta Phanta" suggestion got in there.

When's the next episode?

[Bahamut]

I can't wait to hear more VGDJ! The previous incarnation with zircon & pixie was my first podcast, and probably the most entertaining of them all for me knowing that it had to do with the community. It's great to see that Brushfire is bringing it back, and with zircon & pixie with it!

And yes, I knew about the drama being staged :razz:

[KyleJCrb]

(And yes, no more Podcast Alley voting. Nobody cares about that anymore. ^-^)

That's actually pretty true, I've determined. :-(

[Jillian Aversa]

Hahaha... Sorry. :3

As for your question, Abadoss, we're still working out some of the technical issues with regards to getting the site working again, setting up voicemail, etc. I think we're going to be shooting for Friday night releases so that people can enjoy the show over the weekend, but not positive yet. Next show will *hopefully* be released next Friday or Saturday, if all goes well.

We'll keep you guys updated! Probably going to start a new thread soon with more official info.

[Abadoss]

Are you wanting any sweepers too?

[dish]

VGDJ *is* coming back, and it is going to be tri-hosted, with brushfire on board!

Yay! :D

As for the Carnival Night Zone barrel, my friend and I kept thinking that we should jump on the barrel repeatedly to get it down (like Abadoss did, perhaps). After a lot of frustration, I think we started to press down just to vent some frustrated energy (on hindsight, we were pretty lucky to get by this way). After a few more tries, we realize the up-down D-pad method :D
But the opening of Ice Cap Zone more than made up for it (back then).

[SwordBreaker]

So I just listened to this "debut" VGDJ episode of yours, Brush. You seem like a down-to-earth, enthusiastic, and likable guy...at least that's how I interpret your "radio persona". However, criticisms stick out more since there's no co-host(s) therefore no interaction whatsoever. Everything is straight-forward and non-spontaneous. I don't feel like you're speaking out to me, the listener. I commend how cool your radio voice is and how you try as much as possible to mix it up. But I still feel that most of what you're saying is scripted, despite the supposed script being well-written. I did like what you did in the remixing roulette section, having trouble pronouncing the names. Maybe commenting on some of the "remixer voice clips" sent to you after they're played will turn it up a notch (I found AnSo's to be funny at the end of it). Additionally, it doesn't help that you're reading DJP and Judges' comments word-for-word (at least that's what I think you did). It's better to quote them sparsely and summarize their thoughts in your own words. Finally, there were times when you really sped up your words, almost sounding like a Zero Punctuation review or something. I don't mind changing your tempo here and there since it is a radio show and all...but try not to eat up your words.

No hating, man. I'd like to hear more of you and like Soundscape mentioned in the podcast, take these criticisms to heart. I think adding a co-host will eliminate most, if not all, of these problems. Having these spontaneous, on-the-spot moments are what make podcasts great in my opinion. I checked back a few posts and I was delighted to see zircon and pixie joining you...but that spoiled the hilarious skit at the end for me. Honestly, any co-host would've made this show much better...but I'd imagine having zircon and his wife is going to be uber-awesome.

Can't wait to see what the future holds. Keep up the good work, man.

Check earlier - zircon & pixietricks will be co-hosting alongside Brushfire!

Yeah, man. I know. Mentioned that in the last paragraph of my post. Plus, that funny skit in the end pretty much gave it away.

[Jillian Aversa]

Yeah, we should all cut Brush some slack. This was just a way for him to start getting comfortable recording, and the format of the show is going to be somewhat different with all three of us. ^_~ I think for a debut episode he did very well!

[SwordBreaker]

Yeah...I thought of this as a "preview" episode of sorts after I read about the big announcement. I didn't mean to sound mean...and I'm definitely looking forward to more of his stuff. I'm just helping out so that he can do better in the future because he has a lot of potential. Brush definitely has a nice radio voice and sounds comfortable hosting, both of which are extremely important. In that light, the positives outweigh the negatives I mentioned in my previous post.

[Brushfire]

I totally agree that this debut episode was rather bland, but it was an experiment to see If I could actually do it. You have to forgive me on this one, and I do not take your criticisms with anger in my head. In fact I welcome it. I know there was A LOT of problems with this one, as I am learning how to use soundbooth.The next one should sound a lot cleaner, more focused, and spontaneous. Like I said, there is more to come, and you may be surprised.

And to those who don't know, That was not ANOTHER SOUNDSCAPE in there. That was IRC funny man Oinkness.

[PROTO·DOME]

I know it's a bit late but I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the show, and Brushfire, you're a natural at presenting. ^o^ Looking forward to more!!

[DragonAvenger]

I thought Brushfire did a good job on his first episode, and I'm looking forward to more. It will be a lot better with co-hosts, so things can only go up.

I definatley like the soundbites from remixers: "This is _____ and you're listening to VGDJ" You should try to get tons of mixers to do that.

Also, Brushfire, did you get my reply?

[Jillian Aversa]

I definatley like the soundbites from remixers: "This is _____ and you're listening to VGDJ" You should try to get tons of mixers to do that.
Yeah! Will post about it when we start our new thread.

[evktalo]

I enjoyed the first episode and am very much looking forward to the next one. No need to apologize! :tomatoface:

--Eino

[Nicole Adams]

I'm happy to see VGDJ is indeed coming back. Brushfire has a great "radio" voice, but zircon and pixie will really liven up the show. I'm curious to hear about the new changes. I hope you continue to request voice clips from ReMixers. (That was always my favorite part of the show.) It adds quite a bit of depth and personality to the segment. I like the idea of getting sound bites from various Remixers saying, "This is _____ and you're listening to VGDJ." I'd be up for it.
