Good show man!

And once again for those who still haven't seen this (sticking it on every new page henceforth):

300. The right to submit "10 Questions the Mods must Answer" for an upcoming Retrogaming with Racketboy roundtable. -$2.50 Flake (Reserve Price not yet met)
As many mods as possible will be rounded up and forced into answering your pissy and pithy questions. You could potentially hear Ack's twang, Fast's svelte tone, MrPopo's screeching whine, SpaceBooger's midwestern drawl, Niode's incomprehensible cockney, ModMan's haggard wheeze, and maybe a few other sad nerd voices...

Somebody bid this up please, does nobody want to hear secrets from the moderator vaults!?

I WILL ANSWER ANYTHING.

You name it, I'll stick my dumb mouth behind a mic and answer it.


COME ON GUYS!

Use of ultra mega font is required in this instance, we've gotta make some kids who deserve it happy everybody and I'm willing to make an idiot of myself for the cause!


That's right people, circus monkey moderator here willing to dance for peanuts!

BID! BID! BID!

HE'LL EVEN TALK IN A COCKNEY ACCENT~!

Just look at this bump.

299. “Guest Director” position for upcoming Racketboy podcast – you pick the topic, the interviewees, the music, etc. Your wish is our command.

300. The right to submit "10 Questions the Mods must Answer" for an upcoming Retrogaming with Racketboy roundtable.


Last year #299 went for $21 to jfe2, who requested that I interview both Keith Apicary and Nathan Barnatt. jfe2 picked the music, some of the questions, etc. It was one of the best shows of the last year, in my opinion :) Since the show is now entering its second year, I'd really like to see it fetch more in the auction this time. I've been able to bring on some quality guests, and unless you want me to interview someone like Miyamoto or Kojima, chances are I will be able to twist their arm. I'd even try for those giants, if you were to request them (although the language barrier may be an issue). So who would you pay to have answer your questions?

As for #300, this will require a lot of coordination - so make it worth the effort! The questions don't have to be about the site, games, or anything in particular. You can ask us something like "Can you please harmonize the melody from Doom on the 32X?" and we'd do our absolute best to oblige you.


Jump in on these now everyone!

For #300We're talking you name the questions and you get to make us reveal personal and embarrassing facts from out pasts and present, act like idiots and more all for the sake of your own amusement!

Not to mention that as Dsheinem said above we'll all try our hardest to get the guests you want for #299. Gaming celebrities, forum members, The Pope*, your state senator, Harrison Ford, you name it and we'll get our butts to work on it, start running on those hamster wheels and see what we can do to make it happen! That's right, the podcast is your oyster and you are in charge!

oh Im' sorry I thought DSH had posted it and you were quoting it. Anyway, while I see what you're doing, isn't it a bit much to repost the same comment on every page?

At least shorten it. Could get annoying to scroll past that wall of text to see new bids every page.
