Covert Gunman Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Alright guys, we've been kicking around the idea for quite some time now that we should have a site podcast. I'm officially starting this project, and the only thing I want to to know, is what do you want to hear from us? There are any number of things we could talk about but I want some community ideas. If you've got a great idea for a podcast, let me know by replying and explaining your idea. Of course, I've had some ideas of my own, but I'll let you all get your ideas out first. Thanks guys. Podcast Ideas · Participants Confirmed: CovertGunman, Strwrsbob, Lissa110, Undeadwolfy, Mikeh12, MrRoflWaffles. · Possible Guest Appearances: thegrix · Decide on title for podcast (“Chaos Drop Zone” brought up). · Agree on a specific day and time in order to record the podcasts. · Only well established members may take part. · Weekly episodes (named episodes would be better than dated) · Not solely based around “Call of Duty Zombies” aspect. Will also include other gaming news segments and opinions regarding this. · Sound effects (soundboard/soundcart) and graphics (logo’s, advertising promotion and such) will be needed · Try to advertise the cast in as many places as possible. (Stitcher,PodBean, iTunes) · MUST BE FUNNY. If the podcast is too boring, serious or based too heavily on zombies, we will lose and/or repel potential subscribers.
Phillips455 Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 firstly i would want you to talk about the latest info, eg, first strike map pack, gknova6 updates ect thyen about stuff about multiplayer and zombies, some special guest on talkiin g about stuff that you wanty in codz (eg jd_2020 , Vahn) just my two 50p's
Strwrsbob Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Mikeh12 and I decided to get this thing going. We need to set a time up, and get this going. I have the Snowball mic, which is a high-quality USB mic, and Mikeh said he could do some images and sounds for the podcast. Please post here if your have any ideas/ are available to join us. I'd like to think that Covert and Carbon along with some other mods would help, but if not Mikeh and I can go ahead with it and send to carbon for his approval.
m12 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Yep, I've also got my Macbook, which comes with an inbuilt mic that I could use if we need too. I put forward the idea that because everyone is spread around the world, we could prerecord bits, and then add them together and release it at a later date. Makes it so people don't have to be online at silly times. And if we get the chance, could Covert/carbon/another mod try to contact a Treyarch Dev we could interview? That would be pretty awesome. You guys have a better chance than me and Strwrsbob of convincing them to do it.
Strwrsbob Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 We just need to figure out what the pre-recorded bits would be, if we were to have the groups talking to each other, it may not work, but if we had each group do their own, it would be like having 2 podcasts. We need to think this through, I know Friday at Midday is PM in the UK
Graffiti Skys Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Thats an awesome idea. I think it should be like updated weekly, with something special to each podcast. For example: •A welcome podcast, to help those who just joined up. •A podcast covering each map, and maybe their links to the storyline. •A podcast involving maybe a unique or well known member. Ask why they joined, why they contributed, what did they contribute, their favourite part about Zombies and anything else like maybe personnel questions. (I'm sure some people would like to know more information about certain users) •Maybe a podcast featuring some of the weeks best or most viewed topics. •A podcast covering any new Features or DLC map packs. •Maybe over time feature people from Treyarch, such as JD_2020. But you could also talk about other games maybe. Because that'll get more people listening to the podcast. But yeah... those are just suggestion ideas for areas you could cover in a podcast. Some of the best podcasts I've seen is a video on youtube of the audio. But its been subtitled, so each time someone says something it quickly pops up with the words. But depending on how funny it is or how its related to something pictures are used and sometimes video clips without their audio removed.Which does pull in more people because they can watch somethine whilst listening.
Phillips455 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 maybe the pre recorded bits could be comedy scetches or nosies like "bang" "brains" also a welcome edition could be a prise, like a dlc code for first strike that could be monthly ask questions to be sent in so ask we can ask the poepl who they are directed at, eg carbon...
Strwrsbob Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Well, I think a welcome podcast would be nice. Still a little surprise neither carbon nor any mod has posted in this. Regardless, anyone hve time they could do it? Time zone appreciated
Covert Gunman Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 Those of you who are willing to help out, add me on Skype. My username is CovertGunman (no surprise there).
thegrix Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Some type of Weekly/Fortnightly/Monthly Podcast would be cool. (News; CoD Zombies and/or CoD in General) Maybe discussion of some popular (worthwhile) forum topics on the podcast. It's always good to hear extended and descriptive views of important matters :geek: A Zombie storyline podcast. (Discussions of the ever-changing storyline.) :? The Welcome podcast is also a good idea. Don't know if more than one podcast would work...
m12 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Can't use Skype, most of the time when I use my laptop I'm with family or something, so I wouldn't be able to speak, is there a text function on it?
Covert Gunman Posted January 11, 2011 Author Posted January 11, 2011 Yup, there's a full chat option on it. I use the chat all the time with all my contacts.
Undeadwolfy Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Add me on Skype.... Take a guess at what my username is... (Tis my username)
wardyy66 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Audacity is a good mic function, but you need a built in mic or an external one. i have since my school gave me the program but i think i could find it on my laptop and give it 2 u if you want :D
m12 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Gah, I've had a hectic month at school, sorry I haven't been on much. I forgot about this, but would still like to see it take off.
Covert Gunman Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 If you are one of those who would like to be part of the podcast, please be on Skype this Saturday morning at around 8AM PST/11AM EST. I know it's kind of short notice, but if you could make it I would appreciate it. I want to have a meeting to plan out our first podcast and arrange a time for recording. Thanks guys.
Strwrsbob Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I'm heading to the beach this weekend, But I'll bring my laptop and Snowball mic to be prepared
Undeadwolfy Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Thats 4pm GMT, about the time I'll wake up >.
Covert Gunman Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 I'm heading to the beach this weekend, But I'll bring my laptop and Snowball mic to be prepared Kk, if anything we'll just be talking about recording and hopefully setting a recording date around the 25th or 26th of this month. Thats 4pm GMT, about the time I'll wake up >. Perfect timing then, isn't it? :P
m12 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 4PM on Saturday, I'll be out of the house >_> I'm really sorry about that, it looks like I'll have to miss this one. Can anyone record it for me to listen to later on?

Can anyone record it for me to listen to later on? No worries, I figured there would be people who couldn't make it. It's just a planning meeting anyway so I'll just fill you in later. :)
lissa110 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I'm in guys, hear from you all tomorrow at 9am mst. Then off to the zoo for me and my weeked fun.
lissa110 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I'm not sure if any of us were going to be talking about the podcast today. I know it was planned but maybe just not enough of us at this time?
Strwrsbob Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I'm online right now, but, seems though others may have forgotten like I did
