Unreal Podcast

First of all, I apologize for starting a new thread.  I couldn't find the old one anywhere...probably got deleted or something.

Now I know this didn't get much support the last time I proposed this idea, but I'm not proposing the idea anymore.  I'm actually going to do it.  I believe I can pull off at LEAST an hour, if not longer, with music creations from people associated with Unreal, and talk about everything that's happening in the Unreal world now, along with what's to come in the future, and inside looks on WTF Series 2 and perhaps a few other popular map packs yet to be released as well.

It will be hosted by myself, along side with LOL_PEANUTS, as it's more interesting when there's 2 or more people to actually discuss a topic.

I would like to ask everyone here to post in this post, any and all questions you have, relating to Unreal, and I will do my best to find out the answers to them all.  Have questions about 227, or Firestorm, or the SGU to Unreal project?  Or even small things like xCoop or the Night's Edge mod...anything and everything...big and small.  I will be interviewing people in the Unreal world about their upcoming maps and/or projects, and hopefully get the inside scoop on what's what.  What better way then to present the info in a podcast where everyone can listen in, instead of having the rest of us left out of the subject...?



EDIT: Forgot to mention, anyone who would like to submit their own music for the podcast is welcome to do so. Also, anyone who has any information regarding anything Unreal is also welcome to contact me and tell me. Please email me at Shivaxi@aim.com

Wait, did you just say you'll play music from anyone who's associated with Unreal? Does that mean I can send in one of my songs for you guys to play? Or did I just misread? And where can we listen to and/or download these podcasts?

Anyways, I have some questions for your podcast.

1) Why is FireStorm taking so long to come out?

2) And what about SGU? How close is it to completion?

Yes, you may submit music to be played on the podcast. As where to download them, I'll be uploading them myself and providing a link here on the forum, and also on my website.

Your 2 questions is something I had already planned to cover in the podcast ;)

Well maybe not all in one podcast. This could turn into a series of podcasts, with a new podcast every month or so. This first one is more or less the "test" to see if we (me and peanuts) can pull this off, and if people actually like it and would like to see this continue.

I personally, don't consider this as a bad idea at all, this might also make people join more different servers since they might have heared something about them they like.

Sounds like an awesome idea, when do you think we'll se the first one?

Also, what are Ukart and MP0 on Pcube's website? Mario related methinks.

I'll be sure to interview Pcube ;)

And if everything goes right, and I don't have a job this weekend, possibly by Monday...but don't take my word on that...you know me and due dates :P I doubt I can get everything together this weekend. We'll have to see ;)

Lol i definetly want to see how your interview went XD

And Shivaxi, can you make a list of people you're sure about your going to interview? So people can prepare which might result in a possibly better interview then unprepared, but that's my opinion.

Hey. I personally think that what I've gotta say about "game design" and the "Unreal series" ain't worth much, but I'd be willing to get interviewed. Actually it wouldn't be the first time. I was on a talk radio show for over an hour talking about the religious symbolism in video games. Your call. Just email, PM (or whatever) me. I have North America wide "toll free" long distance on my cellphone. I can phone you after 5 PM (PST) Mon to Fri, or anytime Sat & Sun. Or we can just meet up on my teamspeak server. OK?

:)

Yea, i'm sure you know alot, no doubt you will be a good inspiration to start off with.

Well tbh I was focusing more on interviewing people with upcoming projects and things of that nature to get the information about them out to the people...but we'll see.

and to Mental, I don't want to make a list of who I'm interviewing just yet, as it's not official. I haven't recieved emails back from everyone just yet.

Upcoming projects eh? Maybe my P2 stuff would fit in there? I think it could be quite fascinating i think. And maybe Gizzy with his Ut2k3 weps, and so on..

NP !!

I am working on several projects, actually. I just didn't mention which ones, and what my involvement is in them. That doesn't include things that I'm working on myself (IE. my own projects). But like I said, it's your call either way. Being interviewed would just be another "project" on my already heaping full plate - LMAO !!

So, I've come to the conclusion that my wireless internet sucks, and if I were to be broadcasting, Online Chatting, and Interviewing people all at the same time, my connection would be dropping every 2 seconds.

So what I'm going to do instead, is interview each person individually, record it, and then play it on the podcast. Much easier and more efficient.

Having access to a stable TeamSpeak server that's never down would do the trick. Meet the person in a channel and record it. I have a Compac server that's been running TS2 for 410+ consecutive days without the need for a single reboot. Knock on wood. Diehard and others use it. I can make it available to you for this, so just let me know. I can even set you up as a temp "server admin" with your own channel and everything.

:P

Honestly I don't even have your TS IP anymore. I lost it a while back when I had to re-install Windows. Currently everyone I've interviewed, I've done it over Skype. It seems to have the best quality, and doesn't require a server. People can just directly connect...works like a charm. ;)
