Nar fuck it I'll just be a sexy background voice
Only 1 person in the conversation needs to have it. It's not that expensive, €8 monthly. I paid for it when Junkers, Becca and I streamed MC. It worked perfectly.Quote:

Keep the suggestions coming, the more ideas there are the more this can be polished ad then the pilot wont suck :P
Reminds me of the RZ podcasts or whatever we used to have awhile ago that died down fairly quickly. Wouldn't want that to happen again. I like the idea though, I think it could work.
Honestly podcasts are boring anyway.Quote:

How about instead of a chat show, it's a games show?Quote:

Sort of like what JP does with D&D. I know every party we play board games and MTG etc, how about doing something similar online?
Small World: Wil Wheaton, Jenna Busch, Grant Imahara, Sean Plott. TableTop, Episode 1 - YouTube
Like tabletop, but online? If it's possible anyway.
The problem with podcasts etc is you tend to run out of things to talk about very quickly. Having a constant focus seems to help a lot on other shows.
You can indeed play all sorts of board games online but seriously, how many people want to watch me and a bunch of other peeps play monopoly for four hours?Quote:

All you need to do is engage with the audience. Maybe choose a team game, where all the players are on the same side and have to defeat the game itself (sort of like D&D is vs the GM, but kinda not really), and the audience should get invested in the story and the team. Lasting 4 hours means more people will see it alive tbh. It's more annoying to me when stuff lasts an hour, either I miss most of it, or I'm left wanting more.
Seriously, if it was 4 hours of a bunch of RZ legends trolling each other, I'd expect people to watch it. And if they don't, well fuck them! You've gotten 4 hours of epic banter videoed and saved for future generations.
A type of betting system (organized audience teams for different players) in which there is some kind of reward or special outcome could also keep many watchers interested. Know what I'm saying?Quote:

I think I see what you mean but that would change the format of the show from talk show to game show. However we could have small segments that are interchangeable each week, one of which could easily involve a form of competition in which the audience participates by backing a specific host as you suggested.Quote:

I think people would be much more interested just watching a few of the RZ regulars talking shit.
Group videochat + League of Legends ARAM = messy stuff. (multiple puns intended)
So currently the general concept hasn't changed much apart from a few small things that people on this thread have suggested.
1. The show will now have two regular hosts, myself and Junkers and each episode will have one to two guests.
2. Audience participation will be used in segments other than the Q&A at the end of the episode i.e. weekly (episode) competitions pitting hosts and guests against each other while the audience back a specific member of the panel as their choice for victory.
3. ????
4. Profit
