DarkeSword Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Hey guys. We're trying something new tonight. Me, Larry, Stevo, and Andrew (and possibly some other OCR staffers) are going to do a live OCR Hangout on Air tonight. It'll be a short little show and we'll be taking questions. You can tune in on OCR's YouTube channel. Updates Thanks everyone for tuning in to our first ever Talkback and sending in questions. We're going to try to do an episode every Saturday night with a rotating cast. Because we're using Hangouts on Air, all of the episodes will be immediately available on YouTube as soon as they finish, and will be linked below, so if you missed it because you actually have a social life on Friday nights, you can always check out the episode later! Are YOU an OC ReMixer? Nicole Adams asked whether ReMixers can appear on the show. Hell YES! If you wanna come onto the show and talk about what you're working on, games, music, pop culture, and take questions from fans, we definitely want you on! Just post in the thread that you wanna appear on the show, let us know if you have Saturday night 9PM Eastern free (subject to change) and we'll invite you on to be a part!

Brandon Strader Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Awesome you guys should do it more often but try to keep the conversation a little more focused, at least on some OCR-related topics, sometimes! And I don't know if it's just me but it seems to be buffering out pretty often then coming back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garpocalypse Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) think i almost missed it but eh whatever. Edit: awesome. Thanks Level! ... and Shariq ...and LT. Edited September 21, 2013 by Garpocalypse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamer Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 It's pretty good, but unless there's a need for the video format I might suggest making the session a live audio podcast, and having an IRC chat/twitter hashtag for questions. The delay on google hangout was somewhat annoying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otakatt Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I enjoyed what I was able to listen to. <3 And it was awesome that Hiouden got some well deserved props. I also really liked Darkesword's idea about the subforum. It's a pretty cool idea. If you guys wanna shorten the show then getting the questions beforehand is probably a good idea. (Though this seemed spontaneous so it running long is understandable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The delay on google hangout was somewhat annoying... We're using Hangouts-on-Air and YouTube specifically because it's basically the most frictionless way for us to do this. We don't have to record anything, we don't have to do any kind of post production, and we don't have to set up any streaming software at all. We just sit down, setup the Hangout (which is what we use for our weekly OCR Staff meetings), and just start talking. Google Plus and YouTube take care of the rest. This is part of a small initiative to start leveraging our YouTube channel for more content than just OC ReMixes and album trailers. It's also very important for us as OCR Staff members to be able to do this stuff without it actually taking any extra effort where logistics are concerned. Hangouts-on-Air have essentially zero logistical issues. Also we did repeatedly mention that we were taking questions via Twitter, so all you have to do is tweet @ocremix and we'll see it. Larry and I both monitor OCR's Twitter account quite heavily. We'll try to mention it more often though that Twitter is the preferred method of sending us questions. Thanks for the comments!

Platonist Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Very interesting! I'm one of those who can just sit and watch people talk for hours on youtube, in debates, hangouts and whatnot, so this was very welcomed! I (probably) won't be virtually jetlagged enough to catch them live in the future, but I'm most certainly gonna watch them afterwards.

DarkeSword Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Feel free to ask questions via Twitter earlier in the day if you can't watch live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiGi Valentine Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 9pm EDT? ...that's, like, ...2am for us Brits D: I'll try and tune in if i'm still awake at that point. How long does the show go on for, roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I don't know if I could frame it as a question but do you guys think you could discuss the rise of albums in response to a slower panel and whether you see that changing in the future, or if it's a fine evolution for the site. Curious to see your views of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 That should be in four hours from now so that's 10am for me. YES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garpocalypse Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Do we have to submit our questions in advance or can we enter them into the chat box during the stream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Chatbox is okay but Twitter is preferred. Advance or during is fine either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legendary Zoltan Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I had a nice time. Thanks for answering my questions. My requests for the live broadcast days are Friday or Saturday because those are Saturday and Sunday here in Japan. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thanks for answering the question I asked. I wanted to post it early because many people asked for frequent updates, or simply asked questions about it, and I wanted to avoid that question to be asked 50 times. And btw, asking question in 140 characters is HARD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timaeus222 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) I like 9PM. I always end class by 9PM EST, though on Friday I wouldn't mind 8PM PST so I can join before I go home.
